The Fighter

The Storm Hawk has the top manoeuvrability of a true fighter and is quite capable of fairing on her own even in a mob of opponents.

Her primary weapons are deadly at close range but, have a very small arc of fire. Fire only when a target is locked to conserve weapon energy.

She carries a Fat Boy blast missile to effectively thin out a wing of 3 or more attacking interceptors at a distance if they are in close formation.

The special Hawk missile is a lighter version disruptor. Enemies are completely immobile for 5 sec. They can still primary weapons but cannot turn their ship to aim them. The Hawk missile will also immobilize a destroyer but has no effect on auto defence turrets.

To rearm and repair your Storm Hawk to full capacity dock at your station or base.
Docking to an engineer utility ship will only reload you by 60% ( no Fat Boy ).

Compared to the Storm Petrel, the Strom Hawk has a 70% improved auto repair unit. The best life insurance for a small craft with light armour and shields.
