T-493-HF "Karasu" GMG Heavy Fighter

The Crow Nebula has long been one of the silent warzones of the Sirius sector. From the early attempts at conquest by Rheinland to pressures from rival Kusari firms and Outcast assaults, the Gas Miner's Guild has forever been hard pressed to keep its holdings secure, the gas moving and its shareholders happy

The T-493 space superiority fighter is the backbone of their ongoing efforts to maintain civilization in regions that are anything but. The superior agility of this heavy fighter provides it with a strong edge against the lumbering bombers that could threaten their claims and the deadly accuracy provided by the numerous sensory systems required to operate in a region as chaotic as the nebula ensure the hasty disabling of enemy vessels, or to perform scans to secure new forward claims.

Handling

Review without version number

Review The GMG T-493 Heavy Fighter, despite its title, is actually the most maneuverable fighter from the Kusari Shipyards. Karasu fighter sports 6 forward mounted weapons and 1 rear turret. Its armor however is low and may require a armor upgrade if you can get it. Countermeasures may not be required since this fighter can outmaneuver some of the House Military ships in a heartbeat. this fighter is one of the most agile fighters you will find in the Sirius systems. Up to class 9 forward and on class 5 turret, although the rear turret does little good and has a large blind spot. The fighter with its mobility will give pilots the ability to escort and distract the hijackers enough for the transport(s) to escape with cargo intact. I do recommend that fighter pilots are to be warned that the fighter's controls are very sensitive and you may over-steer towards your target.
