The Sector Robinus yards is rolling out three new models. Since all three are either refits or descendants of the original Adimo ships, we thought we should honor that by releasing them like they were. So here they are!
F-606 B Sparrowhawk (Fighter-Bomber Model)

The F-606B is the bomber version of the F-606A, an prototype tactical fighter. While the \'A\' is under review for power its power usage, the \'B\' has been cleared for release.
Able to carry a payload of 1 large missile and 2 small ones. This craft may lack in being superior in a dogfight, but what she can carry is what defines her. The torpedos are cruder than ones featured by other yards, but this allows them be much cheaper, and therefore allow the Sparrowhawk to be quickly reloaded for another run.
The main usage of this craft should be to punch a hole through the hull of either a ship or a station to lay the path for boarders to enter.
It also wouldn\'t hurt to use it to support large ships in fleet battles, but the impact would be considerably minimal.
Optimal Bomb Run Instructions
1. Assign your torpedo docks a number for undocking/firing (and remember which torpedo is which).
2. Line up to your target at least 10 seconds plus away from it.
3. Switch to the aiming cockpit of the desired torpedo you wish to fire.
4. Begin run and clock the F-606B up to full speed.
5. Aim and release your torpedo approximately 3 seconds from the target.
6. Keep going so you can evade any resisting fire and line up for your next run.
*note: it is best to release one torpedo per run (so that you\'ll have three runs before you need to re-stock)*

Light Utility Transport (LUT) 200 \'Bumblebee\' Mark 3
Front View
Side Profile.
The trusty old Buzzer has come a long way. The Mk3 is more or less an asthetic update with a major refit of the original. Slightly less powerful guns, and slightly more shielding. Power recharge has been increased, and she looks a 300% better (although for some reason both the Trading Guild and the Pirates still use the original one). The interior layout has been changed, with a neater arrangement of the systems and plex-storage line-up.

The Foehammer is the direct (and much needed) replacement for the aging Libezia. With much knowledge gained since the Libezia, this heavily armed, heavily shielded and non-budget ship is certainly an adversary to be reckoned with. At 170 metres, this ship is also the largest frigate ever fielded by Adimo.
Possessing a smarter energy build and stronger defenses (nearly 3 times the amount of shields of the Libezia), its main cannon has a range of nearly 4 kilometres. Coming with a cargo hold, this ship is able to maintain a crew on long expeditions for a sustained amount of time before (if ever) needing to under-go repairs.
The Foehammer can be used for many purposes. Firstly as a mobile base of operations for 3-4 people (or a segment of a faction). It can be stationed in low orbit over a planet to provide the materials and means to build a planetary outpost, and therefore provide hasty cover, protection and defensive capabilities if enemies were to attack.
On it\'s own, it can be used as a sniper ship (furthest comfirmed Isanth kill so far was 1 kilometer out), and can easily hold out against 10 fighters at once. In a fleet battle, it can either serve as a heavy hitter (whittling down enemy shields then bombarding the said enemy with missiles, or as an escort to cruisers or carriers (most notably the soon to be released Blizzard).
*note: the \'bridge\' at the top is detached from the main ship complex and is intended as a visitor/passenger carriage of sorts*
