After collaboration with Lividia Shipyard technicians and the Amenhotep weapons research team a new prototype code name Thumper has been created. This is the first iteration of prototype weapons to be field tested on the Amenhotep, with shorter range, higher refire rate and slightly reduced damage. The Amenhotep will be better equipped to deal with faster moving capital ships such as cruisers and battle cruisers. There will be three phases to this research with the final phase to modify the thumpers to cater The Amenhotep's strengths.
