STRENGTHS
- +Death from Above: The AV-100X is armed to the teeth - carrying enough ordnance to provide more than sufficient fire support for ground teams from the air, as well as containing adequate armaments to defend itself from airborne threats.
- +Jink: Despite being rather heavy, the Valkyrie is very maneuverable, particularly when hovering over a target, making it hard to take down with weapons devoid of well calibrated tracking.
- +Stout: Given its dual armor layering, the Valkyrie has been described as a ‘floating fortress’, making this craft highly popular amongst both regional defense forces and solo mercenaries/bounty hunters.
- +Spacious: While not a dedicated ‘landing craft’ per se, the Valkyrie has enough space within it to adequately carry 10 passengers (if the interior remains unmodified per default design) in addition to 2 pilots, allowing for this craft to adequately fulfill the role of a small-unit lander.
WEAKNESSES
- -Heavy: Given its multiple layers of armor, the Valkyrie is a very heavy gunship, and could easily be overtaken by any quality starfighter.
- -Low Squadron Count: Given the size of this craft, they take up valuable space within hangar bays of starships, preventing squadrons of any real size from being viable in larger engagements.
- -Spartan: Aside from its considerable loadout and defensive countermeasures, the stock design of the Valkyrie lacks much by way of creature comforts or extravagant special systems that other models may possess. That said, it appears possible to customize this craft to suit the needs of those who wish to add such modifications, but it is recommended to consult with the manufacturer prior to doing so.
DESCRIPTION
In today’s galaxy, owning a proper starship is almost a necessity - whether one tracks outstanding fugitives on behalf of the Bounty Hunter’s Guild, or plies their trade as a soldier of fortune, or simply tries their best to scrape out a living amongst the stars as a smuggler or as part of a paramilitary organization. Regardless of the ‘why’, don’t you think it’s time to think about the ‘how’? The answer to that question is the AV-100X Valkyrie-class Gunship!
Whether you need a reliable ship to serve as your home away from home while traveling the unknown regions of the galaxy, or a durable support craft for insertion teams assaulting an enemy stronghold, the Valkyrie is capable of providing what you need in an efficient, utilitarian design. Sporting the newly minted ‘MAG-800 Mass Accelerator Minigun’ platform, the AV-100X is capable of laying down peerless amounts of covering fire for strike teams on the ground, while also being able to bust open anti-personnel vehicles that may lay in your path. For heavier threats, the Quad mounted missile launchers will make quick work against both ground and aerial targets alike.
Need reinforcements? Under its standard configuration, it also serves as a serviceable landing craft to unload a complement of 10 additional soldiers ready for action. With all of that being said, why wait?! Pickup yours today!
