The Independent Mining Guild is one of the most prominent ship-building factions in Sirius. The Gunboat is their most recent development: a light, agile, and powerful craft that is ideal for anti-fighter defense and capital ship support.
Handling
Viewed from the front, side or rear, this gunboat looks very thin. This trait offers significant advantage to it as a capital ship, making it almost impossible to hit from those angles if the pilot manages to increase distance from hostiles above 1k. Viewed from the top or bottom, its a fairly easy target as it has a very wide egg-like shape. The 6 turrets are placed as followed: 3 on the "top" and 3 on the "bottom". Each turret has a 360 degree angle of fire, but those placed on the "top" cant shoot down (and the other way around). This makes the "top & bottom" a heavy pair of weak spots as each offers only 50% of fire coverage and exposes the ship as an easy target. Nonetheless, pilots all over Sirius who have mastered covering their weaknesses have found this ship invaluable as it its well capable of staying on max shooting range of a cruiser and slowly grinding it down while receiving no damage in return. This ship can be classified as a light-gunboat, since its power-core and hull offer less combat potential than its significant maneuverability.
