Description:
The Regency Cuspid gunboats were designed in mass quantity as an anti-virus fighter. These vessels were intended to
strafe targets and include a high-performance manuever drive. A good pilot can get another 3Gs out of them for short
durations (4hrs). The pilot plays all rolls engineer and gunner.  The pilot's station is surrounded by the appropriate
readouts for all positions. Including weapons control from the yoke.

The forward fixed mounted weapons include an oversized turret w/90 degree arc.  The pilot can fire both weapons
or just one using the additional EP for Agility. (without fusion gun agility 2, without PA agility 4).
