The Mk-III has been stripped of armor and had it replaced with regular hull. The reason is to increase the speed since it is intended to be a ship capable of hunting down other ships. For same reason has a minor overdrive effect been added. Also a minor ion-effect has been added to boost defense a bit. The missile batteries now consists of fixed turrets, tracking and fireing is now handled by the AI and the player pilot only have to worry about operateing the main cannons. Both the missile batteries and the old cannon turrets can now be turned on or off with wireless logic.
Some smaller changes has been made to exterior and interior. Among other things the shuttlebay has been altered to make room for the latest Malcorian shuttle design.
I wish you happy hunting!
