The use of a ''Potemkin'', while certainly imposing, runs the risk of it becoming the primary target of opposing forces bent on stranding its attached DropShips. In addition, carrying so many DropShips requires a staggering amount of fuel, further requiring the use of tankers which themselves need protection. Finally, the facilities aboard the ship are geared mostly towards the ship's own crew, the most blatant example being the single 95-meter gravity deck. Extended stays can get uncomfortable for the DropShip crews, left to either mill about on their own vessels or go exploring the ''Potemkin'''s lengthy corridors.<ref name=TRO3057R158-159/> Despite its impressive performance as a mass transport, the ''Potemkin'' does have its flaws.
