Should I abandon the Hawk?
This depends on if you need the Torp before you get the Anubis:

As you can see, Cuda is good balance of agility & strength in Level 13
Gun battery numbers are slightly different, but testing with same 4 guns & stopwatch
showed exact same 40 sec. discharge time and 10 sec. to recharge, so they deal the
same amount of damage per second. However, the Cuda has two more Hardpoints which
offers more flexibility in gun loadout, or some added Missiles with max guns.
Armor in Cuda 300 pts better, Shield upgrades for HF are slightly stronger than LF,
and have the advantage of working on the Anubis which is Class 6 like the Cuda.
Agility is equal. Best advantage of Cuda over Hawk is ability to mount Torps.
