Shouldn\'t this be posted in the server section of the forums. Just a thought.

 

[Leanson]

*A side-screen suddenly pops up on your flight interface.. The familiar jingle of the intersystem news channel fills your ears. Soon after, a confident female voice sounds over the speakers and her translated words light up on the holo-screens..*

\'This is an urgent IlluCiv News broadcast. Reports from Sanctuary indicate several violent groups have come in possesion of decommisioned Pax-class Light Hauler vessels. Patchwork variants of this ship featuring a number of illegal modifications have been spotted. All civilian vessels should remain vigilant and request back-up from local authorities and defence systems when they come in contact with these ships. All receiving this transmission will be forwarded detailed data concerning the \'Incursus\'.\'

*As the screen closes and the words fade away, a new file opens.*

----------------------



Incursus Gunship

Originally conceived as the Pax hauler, this vessel was meant to carry cargo quickly between short distances. While in possession of a single powerful mining beam, it seems the rebellious elements are using it to salvage valuable parts off their victims\' ships. Main modifications have been a reducing of the carrying capacity, in favour of speed, and the addition of black market acquired weaponry. They are likely to be carrying illicit gains within the standard cargo container.

Common Armaments

-LB02.1 Lance

A common weapon, known for its reliable range and firepower, but also its high energy demand. It is unlikely the Incursus has optimized energy circuits to sustain long term fire. Watch out for potential ramming when they do run out of power.

-Krim Laser Auto-Turrets

Outdated Military Grade weaponry, a large number of defect models can be found in scrapheaps all throughout the universe. While generally regarded as not much of a threat, it seems they\'ve gotten them to work, and have slightly improved their output. In large numbers they may pose a significant hazard.



Notable Defects

The Pax hauler was never meant to be a weapon\'s platform, or exceed safe carrying speeds. Decommisioned versions generally had problems with circuitry, and relaying power to all parts. This can be taken advantage of. As it was a hauler, its shielding and armour are only civilian grade. It is unlikely to be able to stand a barrage of military grade weaponry.



-Transmission over-

 

[Ithirahad]

Seems a bit busy...

 

[Cirdanoth]

It\'s a patchwork pirate vessel. Of course it\'s busy. :3

 

[ObiShawnKenobi]

Hrm... why this under factions?

[Kamika]

Im suprised that no one has asked the obvious question yet.. When did one and a half(1.5) week equal 17 days?

 

[generalBLT13]
