[SIZE=9pt]Big Bang: The Neith Pulse-Turbolaser uses a powerful internal capacitor to build-up power before each shot, resulting in turbolaser shots that far exceed the damage potential of most turbolasers.The railgun also allows the turbolaser shots to move faster allowing them to reach the target with minimal loss of energy. When the Neith shoots you, you’ll know about it.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Thought you could sneak away: The use of a railgun to enhance the speed of the turbolaser blasts has the added effect of drastically increasing the range of the Neith. Moving faster allows the turbolaser blasts to cover significantly more distance before the blast degrades and loses energy.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Too fast: The Neith was designed from the ground up as an anti-capital ship weapon, and it’s size and weight prevent it from moving fast enough to effectively track and fire at smaller more agile targets.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Too slow: The use of a capacitor to charge up the turbolaser before firing results in a slow rate of fire for the weapon. Although powerful, the damage potential of the turbolaser is offset by its slow rate of fire.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Capital emplacement: The size and power requirements of the Neith Pulse-Turbolaser are such that it is a strictly capital weapon and can only be mounted on ships of 700m or larger. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]As part of their development of new ship-based technologies, the engineers at Locke and Key Mechanics had a thought, why not go back to their old creations to see what ideas they could scavenge and use to help push forward the new boundaries of weapons technology. So they came to the Sunshot Pistol, Locke and Key Mechanics signature railgun enhanced pistol. The difference between a blaster and a turbolaser was just a matter of size and scale right. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Given that truth, then the technology that had worked so effectively on a small scale with the blaster technologies would have to work with the large scale too, just with a greater power requirement. It was this philosophy that gave birth to the Neith, a turbolaser capable or reaching across a battlefield to potentially deliver staggering amounts of damage to an enemy. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]An old technologybrought to the grand-scale, the Neith is a solid addition to Locke and Key Mechanic’s growing portfolio of ship-based weaponry.[/SIZE]
