The
Wolverine, Tachyon+ class Patcom is best for Strike and Heavy Escort.
It is also effective for quick strikes at enemy bases.
This
new design is well protected from missiles by it’s Point Defence Turret and
also carries 3 Missile types.
Most noticeable is the “Fake Decoy Blast Missile” which looks and sounds like a
smart decoy flare. Many fighter pilots have been tricked by this disguise and
lost their ships on multiple occasions!
The
Dual “Heavy pulsed PBCs” have about 12 KM range and can destroy small fighter
craft with two solid hits.
Dual Cyro cooled Rapid fire PBCs with a
range of 7 km are for close work and have a fairly wide firing arc.
Remember,
the Wolverine is fairly large and therefore not too hard to hit. A strike run
against an armed station is best using the corkscrew attack: i.e Roll your ship
and apply full thrusters to one side while still aiming your nose at the
target.
Save
your missiles for attacking Guard bots and other defenders. Use them when you
are out of range of an enemy bases PDTs
The
Wolverines missile bays can be fully reloaded and the ship repaired by docking
to a Base or Station.
If you dock to a friendly Pioneer utility ship you will be reloaded and
repaired to 60% of capacity.
