- Can switch between various modes allowing the ion torpedo to vary both its potential range and the speed at which it generates torpedos to fire.
[SIZE=9pt]Unlimited Ammo: The Pakhet generates its torpedos from the essential lifeblood of a ship or vehicle, from the generators and energy systems that power it, meaning that in effect as long as the host vessel has power, the Aton will be capable of firing.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Varying Speed: Depending on the mode assigned to the weapon, the Pakhet is capable of altering its fire rate from slow to fast depending on the charge which is allowed to build up in the railgun firing mechanism.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Varying Range: As with the speed, the range at which the Pakhet is able to engage can also vary depending on the charge which is allowed to build up in the railgun. The greater the charge, the further the generated torpedo will be able to travel.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Think no more: The torpedos are capable of providing immense levels of ion damage, potentially capable of shewing through ships shields and neutralizing their systems.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Dumbfire: Much like their predecessors the plasma torpedo is a fire and forget weapon, without the ability to track and follow it’s target making it worse than useless in a dog fight, or when engaging smaller and faster craft.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Not a turbolaser am I: Given the need to generate the plasma, contain it within a bottle and then fire, the Aton is not designed as a replacement to a standard laser or turbolaser, but instead is designed to supplement normal weapons, providing a powerful additional tool where needed.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]No Boom: The Pakhet provides a significant ion=based threat to any ship but is incapable of causing actual damage to the ships they attack.[/SIZE]
Based on the technology created in the Aton Torpedo Launcher, the Pakhet was a similiar creation, an energy torpedo. However, where the Aton used Plasma to create a powerful and disruptive attack, the Pakhet opts for a different base to it's energy for attack, ion energy.
The Pakhet is capable of delivering a packet of ion energy to a target with the potential of chewing through their shields and disabling the enemy systems. The closer you got to the ship, the faster and more deadly that rain of fire could become.
