The P-52 Merlin is a snub fighter created by Kruger Intergalactic, initially intended to complement the RSI Constellation series of ships. Equipped with a central gatling cannon and a Lightning Power engine, the Merlin is characterized by its speed and agility, delivering an impressive performance in combat. It is particularly well-suited for local reconnaissance, rapid engagements, and even racing activities.[1]

Features

Gatling cannon
The Merlin features a Tigerstrike T-19P, a customized variant of Kruger Intergalactic’s Tigerstrike rotary cannons. Developed alongside the P-52 Merlin team, this powerful weapon seamlessly integrates with the light fighter's design and reliably fires rounds typical of Kruger armaments.[1]
Other Weapons
The vehicle is additionally equipped with two Size 1 gun hardpoints located beneath the wings, which serve to enhance the functionality of the central gatling cannon.[1]
Compact Spaceframe
The P-52 is a true snub fighter as its compact size allows it to fit relatively comfortably inside the cargo bays of a ship such as the Freelancer MAX or Constellation Taurus.[1]
RSI Constellation Docking
Both the P-52 and the P-72 are designed to use RSI's Constellation series docking cradle, offering a unique symbiosis between the 2 ships.[1]

Trivia

  • It was part of the Referral Bonus for players who referred the game for friends through their code during the Ship Showdown in 2020. The ship came with LTI as all other Referral Campaigns.
  • The Merlin was offered as Referral Bonus again during the Patch 3.18.1 Free Fly campaign. The ship came with LTI as all other Referral Campaigns.
  • The P-52 was named Merlin by Ben Lesnick in reference to Wing Commander, where it is both a Terran Confederation fighter and the name of the interface to Blair's Portable Personal Computer, a 16" tall holographic wizard who can appear to provide needed information similarly to Alexa or Siri, and voiced by Mark Hamill in the Wing Commander movie.[2]
