共和舰队对升级型长尾鲛级的要求是：保留米玛塔尔在速度和远程射弹炮火力方面的传统优势。出于这个目的，长尾鲛级舰队型的设计师花大力气改进了引擎系统，降低了使用高性能微型跃迁推进装备时的副作用。武器系统的升级极大提高了射弹炮台的射速和有效距离。远距火力增强的代价就是更总系统和专用防御装备效能的降低，但基础护盾值和装甲值有一定的提升。

The Republic Fleet's requirements for an upgraded Thrasher focused on the doctrinal strengths of the Minmatar: speed and unleashing a hailstorm of projectile fire upon any foe in range. To that end, the designers of the Thrasher Fleet Issue paid great attention to the engine systems and reducing the downsides of using high-performance microwarpdrive propulsion modules. The improvements to weapons systems significantly increased projectile rate of fire and the range of effective firing solutions. Increased firepower at range came at the cost of reduced tracking systems and dedicated defensive module support, but additional base shield and armor were crammed into the design by the canny Minmatar designers.
