The EFF decided that they wanted to rip off some of the TAC designs they "stole" earlier.
Many of their new Tech appears to be similar replicates of TAC technology.
So, uh, H4wkNet Radar has detected something massive and nasty:
A nosy EFF Clatoe Cruiser has stationed above our planet and is scanning it.
There is just one, but it is NOT a pushover.
A super-heavy cruiser that is made to take on things far larger than itself.
It certainly looks more devastating than the TAC Kram Cruiser.
The
Clatoe Cruiser offers a ridiculously powerful array of high-power laser cannons (unknown) as well as a small, duel Main Cannon (unknown).
Its point-defense systems sit dangerously close to the TAC Enforcer, but lack in the anti-fighter category.
It has no shields, but it features a weapons array that
annihilates shield generators in one hit, so it basically doesn't give a F*bron about enemies with "heavy shields"
A RC TAC scout (asterIOD-135) that attempted to suicide-ram this ship failed.
It may have hardened shockwave armor that can take several lethal railgun blows to the face, or absorb a few mass driver rounds. This is beyond TAC Technology and should be researched.
Oh, and it has nearly no explosive internal components, so it will literally fight to
the bitter end.
It is predicted that they may actually be mass-produced for an upcoming war.
It is protected by a hefty wing of EFF Starstaffs.
A heavily armed fighter made for strike attacks.
It is a successor to the TAC Alerus combined with stolen technology from the recent TAC capital ships.
Unlike the TAC Alerus, it appears to lack regen bubbles but offers more in firepower.
It has GODLY maneuverability I kid you not. These things zip across the battlefield and unload their missiles into the target in seconds. They are far more agile compared to the TAC Alerus in service and are an immediate threat to pretty much everything that TAC has.
Also, it can completely stop in midair.
To make matters worse, it surprisingly has its own Main Cannon(visually represented by the steering hover thingy) despite the vessel's tiny size.
It may not be strong, but it makes up a certainly punishing bombing weapon that can blow up asteriods up to 3 times its size.
We have no idea how they managed to do this, but this is a very big deal in heavy weapons manufacturing.
We must destroy at least one of these to get that edge
More intel coming sooon
