what kind of massive flaws/weaknesses?

It's very large and thus vulnerable to small craft that can get under it's defensive perimeter.
If the design is 30 years old, it's liable to have a host of compatibility with newer hardware, ie fewer or weaker PBCs and AAA.

well, Grim said it had specific player exploitable flaws...

Fewer/weaker AAA is highly player-exploitable.

well, there is that.
plus, it has lucifer-style reactors, those are exploitable.
also, theres much fewer turrets on the bottom of the ship than the top.
and also, when i say it was 30 years old, i meant its a 30-year-old design, not a 30-year-old ship. is been upgraded and designed to be flexible, kinda like a futuristic plug 'n play thing.
besides, its a GTVA ship. the player doesnt need to exploit flaws

Chalk up another tally for the 'overgrown Terran battlewagon' category, then.

*chalks up another tally for oversized, cheesey terran battlewagon*
done
[edit] and BTW, moonsword, not to sound rude, but do you EVER smile? you never seem at all enthusiastic about anything, and maybe even a little bit downer-ish... again, no offence...

Oh, I smile. I was actually making a joke, there, referencing the number of large Terran dreadnoughts/juggernauts/super-destroyers.
