A Flyswatter turret on tripods
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: To make a light AA gun for Ne-Cal Military Space Engineering and their customers
- Image Source: TurboSquid model turret
- Canon Link: N/A
- Restricted Missions: N/A
- Primary Source: TurboSquid model turret
- Manufacturer: Ne-Cal Military Space Engineering
- Model: Flyswatter Light AA Gun
- Affiliation: Ne-Cal Military Space Engineering and customers
- Modularity: No
- Production: Ne-Cal Military Space Engineering and customers
- Material: Durasteel turret, titanium gun barrel
- Classification: Anti-Aircraft Gun
- Size: Ship-mounted (Can also be fitted to vehicles or structures large enough)
- Length: 2 meters not including gun barrel, 5 meters including gun barrel.
- Width: 2 meters
- Weight: 2 tons (similar to the weight of an average car, just Google it.)
- Ammunition Type: Power cell
- Ammunition Capacity: Unlimited, but uses energy from the core of the vehicle or structure it is plugged into.
- Effective Range: 8 km, most shots that hit a target farther than that have a high chance of not penetrating or being absorbed.
- Rate of Fire: Automatic (Controlled by a targeting system)
- Two heavy laser cannons
- Targeting tracers
- Rotating turret
Flyswatters have two heavy laser cannons for destroying starfighters and other small craft.
Two targeting tracers per heavy laser cannon are installed to help increase the Flyswatter's accuracy.
The Flyswatter's turret can rotate 360 degrees and have no blind spots.
Strengths:
- No Starfighters Here: Being an anti-aircraft gun, the Flyswatter is very good at taking out starfighters and small spacecraft.
- You Can Run, But You Can't Hide: The Flyswatter has an advanced targeting system that allows it to track even the fastest starfighters and properly fire on them.
- Automatic Fire: Flyswatters are controlled by a targeting system due to their small size, and it does not need a crew member to operate, therefore reducing the amount of crew in a vehicle or structure with Flyswatters equipped.
- We can't penetrate!: The Flyswatter is an anti-aircraft gun, and is not very good at taking on large armored vehicles or structures. It will fail completely to penetrate shields of most frigates and cruisers, and Destroyers are out of the question completely.
- Disabled: Due to the Flyswatter being an automatic anti-aircraft gun, it is easy to get disoriented or disabled, messing up its targeting system.
The Flyswatter Light AA gun is a light anti-aircraft gun designed by Ne-Cal Military Space Engineering.
It is very good at destroying starfighters and small spacecraft such as shuttles and small freighters. The Flyswatter has a very advanced targeting system that lets it track starfighters easily, whether they are dead in space or doing a barrel roll. There are two tracers that assist the gun's targeting system in locating enemy craft, and is especially effective in close range. Due to the Flyswatter's small size, it is controlled by a targeting system and does not require an organic crew member to do its job.
However, the Flyswatter anti-aircraft gun is very bad at fighting capital ships. The shields of most frigates, cruisers, and larger will easily block the Flyswatter, while the enemy will still be able to fire back. Flyswatters are also easy to be disabled or get jumbled, which significantly lowers its targeting capabilities.
