The Type 9 shuttlecraft was made famous in Star Trek Voyager. The Type 9 was Voyager's answer to something small and maneuverable but as Lt. Torres describes "not built for comfort" :p
The author has managed to add the type 9 to Legacy, despite the downfalls of this type of class in the game (See Danube class). It's certainly fast and maneuverable but presents an inviting target to anything else which is currently in the game. It's a easy kill for any of the stock Legacy vessels but that's what you've got to expect - it's a shuttle not a starship!. The Type 9 features a forward phaser bank and shields which do infact regenerate pretty fast so it's not all bad news for Shuttle vs. starship engagement!
Overall, I would love to see this ship in another game due to its texturing brilliance...but maybe sometime in the future shuttle battles can be improved...it's certainly download worthy though!
