Scorpius

The Scorpius is a dual-seat heavy fighter manufactured by Roberts Space Industries (RSI). With an adaptable bi-wing configuration and revolutionary rail-mounted remote turret, the Scorpius offers unprecedented fire coverage, allowing for both defensive and assault-minded applications.

Features

 * Weapons: With a total of eight Size 3 gun hard-points as well as racks that hold up to eight Size 2 missiles, the Scorpius offers a powerful sting against any enemy craft.
 * Powerful on-rails turret: With 4x Size 3 ballistic cannons, the Scorpius' turret offers unprecedented range, coverage, and firepower. It can be operated by either a dedicated operator who has full control of the turret or it can be slaved by the pilot in a restricted forward only firing mode.
 * Convertable Spaceframe: Two distinct wing configurations reduce profile while landed and for storage

Testimonial
"We hired on with this up-and-coming shipping org that was starting to do real numbers pushing ore, and we were catching all manner of hell from local scum, escorting convoys through Cano. Then RSI hooked us up with a couple of these new Scorpius fighters and let me tell you, one taste of that turret and the local gangs packed up and moved right out of the system."
