Topic: A question to satisfy my curiosity
Hello, whoever gets this. Sadly I'm not too informed on your hierarchy or responsibility splits in your group, so...
I'll just get right to the point. I've recently met one of your guys - although mute - that was flying a new ship model, I suppose. At least I haven't seen one so far.
A look on the hull's side revealed it's called the "Bulldog" or that guy called it that himself. But, if it is called that...
I gottat be honest - I am curious. It had a really neat style to it, so I'm wondering what the standard equipment of it is and the rough worth of one.
It'd be much appreciated to receive a quick answer, but it's nothing urgent.
Either way, wish you a good day or whatever. Oh, and safe skies.

Howdy Ms Kensington.
It is very pleasing to hear someone outside of our humble organisation is taking interest in our engineers' work. The ship you saw is classed as a Heavy Fighter and the model is indeed a Bulldog. It has been built up at Vieques shipyard from different ship parts that we have salvaged in the Texas area over the years.
Most of the ship has been built up from Heavy Fighter parts that we found, however after a long day in the radiation fields (and a couple of bottles of rum too many), one of the guys decided to mount a torpedo hardpoint to it. Now this came with some benefits, almost bomber class firepower combined with heavy fighter class speed, but it also had some drawbacks. To make the extra hardware fit they had to put in a smaller than optimal power core. One shot of a mini razor, which is more ideal than an actual torpedo, will basically drain yer entire power core, so some fancy shootin' will be necessary as a definite hit is practically a must when goin' in fer the kill. Also, the extra hardpoint threw the aerodynamics off a bit causing it to have a bit of a slower turn rate compared to other heavy fighters. Can't have yer rum and drink it, I guess.
Standard equipment on the ship will be a coupla shield busters combined with a mine to help cut through yer opponent's shields, while the majority hull busters and mini razor will give you a nice heap of scrap to collect after the fight.
All in all it is a very versatile ship. It can do stuff that another heavy fighter can't, but it can't do any of the stuff better than a specialised ship. I do hope this answers yer question regarding the Bulldog, and if there is anythin' else you'd like to know, please feel free to contact us again.
Kind regards
