- Like A Top -
The single purpose of the C-31a is to allow the ship to turn off its flight path, taking away the traditional 'atmospheric' fighting need, and to make the ship pivot while at speed without altering its course. This advantage multiplies the effectiveness of a fighter, allowing it to shoot without flying at its target, and alternatively making the vehicle itself become far more maneuverable in the hands of a well endowed pilot.
Weaknesses:
- Novice Need Not Apply -
While the device is certainly a strong asset in starfighter production, it simply can not be used safely by novice pilots or militias. The use of the C-31a is more a detriment to the lesser pilots of the galaxy than it is the far more experienced one; making it a tool of the Ace than of your traditional moisture farmer turned X-Wing pilot.
DESCRIPTION
Designed by Blackwell Industries for use in their upcoming starfighter and freighter line, the C-31a "Dog Fight" is a tool utilized to allow fighters to turn on a central pivot without altering their actual trajectory. This act can be used for both shooting targets around the target, odd strafing runs, or for increasing ones mobility at a rate not possible by traditional starfighters. Rather simple in purpose, the device is extremely difficult to control despite this and is reserved for the more skilled pilots in the galaxy; though can be put on any for the purpose of emergency maneuvers or otherwise impossible dodges.
This can look something like this, for those confused.
