3. Wide-angle, rapid fire, double barrel laser cannon turrets: Controlled by an advanced targeting/radar, reflex system. The reflex targeting system can identify and track up to 80 different targets withing a 80 mile range. It will automatically engage any enemy targets which enter its range of fire. Each turret can swivel 180 degrees side to sie, and 90 degrees up and down.
Bonuse: +3 to strike
Primary Purpose: Defense
Secondary Purpose: Anti-aircraft/anti-assault vessel.
Mega-Damage: 2d4x10 per burst
Range: 8 miles
Rate of Fire: Each turret has 8 bursts per melee
Notes: There are 10 laser turrets rimming both sides of the vessel.
Combining Attacks: See Robotech Book 2: RDF Manual, pg. 20 for details
Payload: Unlimited
4. Falcon Sprint Missile System (20): Missile launchers are mounted above each of the twenty, reflex, laser cannon turrets. Unlike the turrets, these long range missiles can be set to react by reflex or, manually controlled. Each missile launcher is linked to the laser turret radar targeting system, as well as the ship's long range tracking system system. The missle launchers are able to make full, 360 degree rotations, with a 180 degree arc up and down.
Bonuses: Standard fo missiles (Reflex Missiles are most commonly used).
Primary Purpose: Defense/Anti-air
Secondary Purpose: Assault
Mega-Damage: Varies with missile type, most commonly used are Plasma (x-heavy), Proton Torpedo (heavy), and on rare occasions small ammounts of Nuclear (heavy and medium). All are used with Reflex Systems (see the REF Missile Table). All are LONG RANGE missiles.
Range: Varies with missile type.
Rate of Fire: One at a time, or in volleys of 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, or 10.
Payload: Each of the twently, Flacon Sprint Missile Launchers can fire a total of 10 missiles per melee. One melee is required to fully reload. The actual payload is effectively unlimited (technincally, there are 12,000 rounds).
Combining Attacks: See Robotech Book 2: RDF Manual, pg. 20 for details
5. Short Range Falcon Missile System (12) is mounted between each laser/long range missile system. The short range Falcon Missile System is built into a rotating launch canister that can instantly rotate 360 degrees around, and 180 degrees up and down. Like its larger brother, this missile defense system can be placed on independent reflex control, or manual.
Bonuses: +1 to normal missile strike for increased reaction response.
Primary Purpose: Anti-aircraft defense
Secondary Purpose: Assault
Mega-Damage: Varies with missile type, most commonly used are High Explosive (x-heavy), Armour Piercing (heavy), or Plasma (heavy).
Range: Varies with missile type.
Rate of Fire: One at a time, or volleys of 2, 3, 4, 6, or 8 per melee. Reloading is almost instant taking a mere 5 seconds.
Payload: Each of the twelve missile canisters holds 8 missiles. The payload is effectively unlimited (techincally, 19,200 SRMs are available).
Combining Attacks: See Robotech Book 2: RDF Manual, pg. 20 for details
NOTE: The Floor plans and sensors remain identical, see Robotech Book 2: RDF Manual, pg. 19-23.
