The high price and low single-target damage of the Vorton Projector leaves the Skybreaker alongside most EDENCOM ships as a poorly-understood, rarely-used hull. However, thanks to its high speed and very high shield resistances, some pilots have found use for the Skybreaker as a kind of combat interceptor, as while it is less able to evade conventional weapons, its chain lightning is very effective at eliminating drones that would try to push it away.
The Skybreaker has also found a niche use in wormhole PvP: when wormhole groups try to break the "hole control" on a target wormhole by running pilots in in mass groups of frigates or even shuttles (which are bubble-immune) and then reshipping those pilots into pre-seeded combat hulls, defenders can use Small Vorton Projectors to eliminate these light ships as they arrive.
