T.N.F. Light Assault Fighter 'Super Raptor' Mk.I (A)

The Super Raptor fighter is built upon the weapons and internal conveyor systems of the original Raptor Mk.V. Its main features are increased thruster power, better power distribution, and side-mounted weapons pylons. This attack-type Super Raptor carries four optically guided missiles.

These added 500mm missiles enable a flight of Super Raptors to damage moderately armoured and slow-moving targets at long range. However, the missiles are too small to do much damage against heavily armoured targets, and the manual guidance system makes hitting fast-moving targets almost impossible. The Super Raptors will therefore fire their missiles at suitable targets at range, and then move in to engage enemy fighters with their 200mm rockets and 25mm gatling guns.

The Super Raptor A-type can manoeuvre freely with the missiles attached, but its stability in sharp turns is affected slightly.

Constructing New Missiles: ● Make sure the Super Raptor is stationary, in an environment free of natural gravity. ● Press “1” on toolbar “3” (the projector for missiles 1 and 2). ● Construct the armor pieces that connect the new missiles with the fighter, continue to construct both missiles. ● When both missiles are constructed, grind away the extra armor pieces that connects the missiles to the fighter. ● Align the rotors with the missiles’ rotor parts, and attach. ● Turn off the projector, and press “2” on toolbar “3” (the projector for missiles 3 and 4). Repeat.
