Basilisk is often underrated because it doesn't have any "leverage" like a specialized weapon, so your farming KPM is likely to be lower. But if you are in a scenario where what's needed is to add some deterrence as part of a group(which is typical for Sundy, ANT or Flash players) the versatility is invaluable.

It's also somewhat underrated as a platform for Flash because the Flash is very cheap and disposable, and most people will tend to use it in the role of zooming around getting close, something which the Basi is totally useless for because of the limited angles. Save up for the grenades or shotgun if you want that. You can't strafe tanks or defeat A2G farmers flying overhead with a Flash Basi. But...if you need to contribute some long-range AV or AA to a fight and you also need to stay mobile and juke adversaries, you can get in for 200 certs and 50 nanites.
