| From a technical perspective, while their "Bull-666" ships' weaponry was average by league standards, the chassis' were primarily lumbering heavy-duty frames built for full-contact ramming and reinforced with high-energy shielding, making close-quarters racing against their pilots dangerous and intimidating.<sup>[[#References / Sources|1]]</sup> This approach earned them polarising respect from fans for the raw spectacle, but notoriety and even resentment among the other teams for overtly aggressive tactics which notably [[teams:auricom|Auricom]] and [[teams:van-uber|Van-Über]] would consider to be unsporting, and along with the likes of [[teams:eg-r|EG-R]] and [[teams:xios|Xios]], the Anti-Gravity Purity Coalition considered the shift in climate to be a sign of the ethical decline of their sport. When corruption was eventually revealed toward the middle of 2170 and worldwide arrests were made of key figures within and influencing the F9000, Tigron collapsed in on itself and all their warehouses and plants lay abandoned. Feliks Levovich recovered these manufacturing plants for Qirex in the mid-2170s, and released the last few Tigron v1.1 ships during the FX300 for amateur pilots seeking to practice their control of heavy ships, before shutting the project down towards that particular league's end.<sup>[[#References / Sources|2]]</sup> | From a technical perspective, while their "Bull-666" ships' weaponry was average by league standards, the chassis' were primarily lumbering heavy-duty frames built for full-contact ramming and reinforced with high-energy shielding, making close-quarters racing against their pilots dangerous and intimidating.<sup>[[#References / Sources|1]]</sup> This approach earned them polarising respect from fans for the raw spectacle, but notoriety and even resentment among the other teams for overtly aggressive tactics which notably [[teams:auricom|Auricom]] and [[teams:van-uber|Van-Über]] would consider to be unsporting, and along with the likes of [[teams:eg-r|EG-R]] and [[teams:xios|Xios]], the Anti-Gravity Purity Coalition considered the shift in climate to be a sign of the ethical decline of their sport.
