The primary problem with Strelka isn't so much the pod its the Prism lasers. And while there is an on-station weapon that's better, a strelka user worth their salt already shut down most of the station's ability to react beyond hopping in the sec pods.
The problem with Strelka is more how many round types it ruins/makes worse. Blob? Give up now if you are exposed to a window anywhere. Nukies just porting in can get wrecked because the frag cannons are so short ranged and the prism lasers have outrageous DPS. Or my favorite example, a traitor using prismatic that has cut the coms dish and is suppressing all attempts to call the shuttle after ruining most of the station. The problem with the prismatic lasers is that it just makes the game less fun, when things should really be judged by if things make the round more fun for everyone. Strelka seems to only have one case where it makes things better, which is the Y-drone fight but I know there's other equipment that can serve the same role.
