The final stages of preparation for the VENOM II are underway. There are two ways we can go about doing this however, a recent discovery might change our options:
Option 1: Follow protocol, a moderate refire/highly efficient weapon.
Option 2: A particle pulse accelerator.
You did read that correctly, the particle pulse accelerator cannons we've observed in the field wielded by battlecruisers could potentially be modified and drawn back to fit on fighter craft. The sort of "pellet spread" if you will, would make them more effective against heavier fighters and gunships. With a skilled pilot they could almost certainly be lethal against fightercraft as well.
The recent collapse of the Military's central body has driven me to mention this. As it stands your orders are on the primary list, the weapons are scheduled to be made as option 1. However if you would like to be creative we can move towards option 2. A potential medium for both would be making BOTH with the accelerator cannons in place for bomber weaponry. The choice is yours. Blue prints will be drafted once I have external weapon samples to mold into the VENOM II.
