Fire Fly
A new aircraft design with the technology of a plasma axe in mind. The plasma field and sleek design allows the fighter to slice though most M.D.C. material similar to a plasma axe. The technology also allows for it to fire a much heaver plasma blast then a normal ship of the same size.
Class: FA-25
Crew: 1 or 2, the pilot can handle all the controls but the addition of a bombardier allows for a more accrete bombing run.
M.D.C. by Location:
*Recessed Rail Guns(6)-40 each
Bomb Bay Style Belly Hatch(1;for Bombs or Missles)-100
Wings(2)-200 each
Main Jets(2;rear)-150 each
Ion engines(2;Rear)-175 each
**Main Body-350
Reinforced Pilot's Compartment-150
*The recessed rail guns are a small and difficult to strike. An attacker must make a "called shot" to hit and even then he is -4 to strike.
**Destroying the main body knocks the aircraft out of the sky and truns it into a smoldering wreckage ejecting the reinforced pilot's compartment/life pod with a small one months battery and a homeing beacon.
Destroying one or both wings will force the pilot to land immediately or crash in 60 seconds. Destroying both ion engines and the wings will cause it to crash. Destroying the ion engines will cause the aircraft's maxium speed to become mach one.
Speed:
Driving on the ground: Only possible for coventional take-offs and landings, as well as parking/storage
Flying: The propulsion system enables the Fire Fly to reach a maximum speed of Mach 6.5 and has the ablity to escape the atmosphere Mach 12 in space.
Range: Nuclear powered, giving it continual energy, but a non supernatual being can not handel. The G-force from speed of over Mach 5 for more then 12 hours at a time.
Statistical Data:
Height: 15 feet 6 inches
Length: 55 feet
Width: 60 feet
Weight: 10 tons fully loaded.
Cargo: Limited to two suits of body armor, two survival packs,and two energy pistol.
Power System:Nuclar with a 15 year life.
Cost: Million credits.
Weapon Systens
. Rail Guns(6) There are three opening each wing with recessed rail guns.
Primary Purpose:Defence
Secondary Purpose: Assalt
Mega Damage:Each rail gun fires a 20 round burst in a 2(2D6x10 M.D.), 4(4D6x10M.D.), or 6(6D6x10 M.D.) barrels combination.
Rate of Fire:Equal to pilot's hand to hand.
Maximum Effective Range: 6000 feet
Payload: 200 bursts each for a total of 2400 bursts.
.Bomb/Missle Bay: On the underbelly is two sliding doors which hides either a bomb pod or missle pod.
Primary Purpose:Assault/Bombardment.
Secondary Purpose: Defence missles only.
Missle Type:Plasma smart bombs or any missle
Mega-Damage:Smart bombs 4D6x10 each, missles varies by type or missles used.
Range: Bombs 6000 feet, varies by missles.
Payload: Smart bombs (+5 to strike), 100 mini-missles, 75 short range missles, 50 medium range missles, 25 long range missles or any combination.
. Wing mounted mini-missles(20):are mounted no the wings.
Primary Purpose:Defence
Secondary Purpose: Anti-armor
Missle Type:Any mini- missle can be used, but standard issue is armor piercing(1D4x10 M.D.)or plasma (1D6x10 M.D.).
Mega-Damage: Varies with missle type.
Range:Usually about a mile.
Rate of Fire:One up to all 20.
Payload:.
. Plasma Aura: The Fire Fly uses same technology as a plasma axe to create the plasma field. The plasma field absorbs all energy attacks, and have the damage from rail guns. Missles and simuler exploive weapons do full damage. The design also allows the aircraft to fire a powerful plasma blast. The plasma field it the fighters bigest advanage and weakness. Weakness becuase it gives heat guided missles are a +2 to strike with it is on.
Primary Purpose: Defence.
Secondary Purpose: Assault.
Mega-Damage: 1D4X100 M.D.
Rate of Fire:Two attacks per melee round.
Maximum Effective Range: 6000 feet.
Payload: Effectively unlimited.
