Description

The Sparrowhawk Fast Attack Craft is a hydrogen fuelled short ranged direct attack vessel designed to destroy ships larger than itself. Although designed for space combat, the Sparrowhawk can operate in all environments, although pilots are advised to manage their fuel carefully while within gravity wells.

The Sparrowhawk's integrated ECM system and speed allow for increased survivability while within enemy turret range and it's weapon placement allows the ship to keep firing despite any superficial damage to the bow and the decoys within. With a competent pilot, a single Sparrowhawk can disable and destroy turret defended ships several classes heavier than itself, although the ship may require significant repairs afterward.

The vessel has no jumpdrive or reactors making it cheap to build and somewhat disposable, at least for well established factions.

Due to it's size, the Sparrowhawk is most effective in groups. A pack of these ships is a potent threat to a single vessel of comparable mass.

Instructions

Toggle the Repair System on via Toolbar Page 1, No. 3 Point and shoot at the target, aim for the turrets. Strafe up, not left and right. Keep the nose toward the enemy at all times. Fight until the enemy is destroyed or you are. Fortune favours the brave.

When leaving gravity wells, use thrust override to conserve fuel.
