Description

The Python Missile Destroyer is a relatively fast and well armed warship designed to engage targets larger than itself. It's primary weapon is a hydrogen powered heavy guided missile launcher. This weapon's projectiles are not only cheaper to build than traditional Ion and Grav variants, they are also optically guided by the destroyer's orientation, which drastically improves the chances of a successful hit. When threatened, the Python's speed and four Jump Drives allow it to quickly reposition, denying larger, slower vessels the chance to retaliate. Despite this focus on hit and run attacks, the Python is a capable warship with an auto repair system for it's thrusters, multiple defence turrets and armour comparable to other Hyperion Systems Destroyers.

For best results the Python should be supported by ECM focused ships, such as the Phantom ECM Boat, as the missile itself is vulnerable to point defence fire. The Heavy GASP missile is not as agile as the smaller variant and so is unlikely to hit a fast and light ship, but it is far superior to an unguided variant when engaging a moving Battleship.
