Neo Echota Drive Yards now present the Arrowhead's big brother, the Axehead Medium Fighter.
Sporting heavier weapons and shields than it's little brother the Obsidian Arrowhead Fighter, the Axehead is a man-able drone fighter meant to assist in dealing with larger than merely fighter-sized craft.
It has a simple interior with transporter pad and good core view, though there is of course a shielded camera.
This is the core view in flight:
As with it's little brother, it's heavier missiles consist of multiple groups with only enough power to fire one at a time, allowing for rapid-fire 'pump volleys' rather than wait for a long cycle time. It has heavier cannons than the Arrowhead, albeit slower-firing. They are closely grouped for close-quarters pinpoint targeting.
Specs are:
Mass 880.6 with a 1 to 1 thrust/mass ratio and top speed of 155.7 m/sec
Length 41m, Height 15m, Width 21m
Power 1,018,250.2 charging at 193,177.4 e/sec
Shields 66,838 charging at 2134 s/sec
Armor HP 202,250
Structure HP 383,385
Damage Penalty .41
Though less maneuverable and speedy than the Arrowhead, it is still fun to fly and good as an early game craft to conduct looting sorties against pirate fighters. And similarly, it offers a slim target profile to the enemy as well as dark hull.
As such it can even be used in pvp, making pinpoint targeting with direct fire weapons at any distance much more difficult and much less effective.
Salvage arrays can be attached to make it a fleet miner with decent but expandable cargo that can defend itself against attacks, particularly in numbers.
I hope you all enjoy it. Next up will be my small suite of key industrial and support craft. Have fun!
