About the PR

Adds the GS Ziggy multirole fighter. A relatively small and cramped MIL ship powered by two APU units that bares fixed firing pairs of Tarnyx 150mm cannons and Prometheus combat lasers.

  1. The max forward speed is 80/120 (Afterburners off/on.) but lacks an FTL drive.
  2. It has an IFF console and is detected by default shuttle consoles at 1.7KM thermally and about 1KM visually.
  3. It relies on the Shuttle Console for all controls, as such a guidebook entry was included.
  4. It's price is of 89000 after a 30% markup.

All portions of the ship are reachable by an SRD or nanite applicator, except for diagonal-down-inwards from the Prometheus cannons.

It is best suited to assisting another crew, as it is capable of weaving in and out of a fight. The Tarnyxes can either load EMPs, Vanyk tracking missiles or AP shells (these deal massive damage to a single entity that they hit.). While the slow firing but hitscan Prometheus-es will soften up even Plastitanium walls very well for allied guns.

Why / Balance

I believe there's a distinct lack of small, QJ/Zephyr sized fighters for mercenaries.

I'm thinking players would enjoy the versatility of being able to pick between the 15K structural damage AP shell, EMPs and 150MM missiles for the Tarnyx along with the relatively low signatures while being balanced out by being purely forwards firing and being too cramped to conveniently stick a generator in, sidestepping one of it's main gimmicks.

How to test

  1. Spawn in the dev enviroment, make sure you have mercenary access.
  2. Check the guidebook entry for the Ziggy.
  3. Buy the Ziggy.
  4. Make sure all buttons work, link Tarnyxes.
  5. Confirm that it can't provide enough power to permanently use the large thrusters.

Need to adjust some floors in the morning. Didn't notice most used reinforced for thrusters.

I'm fairly certain that was a fake fail.
