SPECIAL FEATURES
Possesses multiple fire modes, including both barrels at once, alternating each barrel indefinitely(see weaknesses), or 6-shot alternating burst
Automatic safety lock to prevent overheating
Strengths:
Multi-directional Targeting: The turrets that the ET-2H are mounted on allow for horizontal targeting in a full 360 degree circle and a 50 degree vertical angle, which while slow due to its size, allows for it to target anything visible to the face of the ship it’s mounted on.
Weaknesses:
Heat Buildup: Due to the high amount of energy put into each bolt the ET-2H builds heat very quickly, requiring a 2 minute cool-down period after 1 minute of sustained fire. For the dual-barrel fire mode this would be 3 minutes of cool-down for 1 minute of sustained fire.
Armor: To allow for omnidirectional targeting for its size the ET-2H is very lightly armored, making it easy pickings for fighters that are allowed to get too close.
DESCRIPTION
With a desire to provide its own ship-based heavy weaponry, the ET-2H is a strong weapon designed to be mounted on ships produced by EODD. Sacrificing protective armor for a larger range of motion to target ships anywhere physically possible for its positioning on a ship it boasts significant power per shot, capable of shredding starfighters in a single bolt(if they’re unlucky enough to be in the path of fire for the slow-moving weapon) and dealing serious damage to larger enemy ships when complemented with other weapon emplacements.
Having learned from the ET-6 Turbolaser Battery, a key feature of this weapon is its automatic locking cooling system. Due to the high amount of heat buildup after sustained fire the ET-2H will lock after one minute of sustained fire. This is to allow the weapon time to cool itself to prevent potential catastrophic malfunction. The amount of time it stays locked and unable to fire depends on the fire mode used, with the minimum time being two minutes of lockdown for one minute of sustained fire.
