Sometimes, the Balor may not be the ideal weapon to bring onto a Perseus because of the 2/2 gun configuration if you tend to use linked-fire mode on your primaries (on its own, it stands out as a good interception weapon). Always take the Prometheus Standard with this ship, and if you can, take the UD-8 Kayser. The only thing it cannot do for any less experienced pilot is basically destroy Shivan cruisers wholesale without risk of suffering heavy damage, that is typically left to wingmen you give Maxims to or with bomber support.
The long distances you have to cross make the Perseus the ideal fighter, and its maneuverability is good enough so you can evade quite well. In Age of Aquarius, this is practically one of the best fighters of the game. GTVA Terran ships GTVA Terran fighters GTF Ulysses
