Description:
The Prowler Class Patrol Frigate is Blood Hunter's Iron Works first step toward bringing a well rounded selection of Capital Ships to it's inventory. The Prowler takes versatility to a level not previously seen in Blood Hunter's products. In the past, when a ship was determined to be overly specialized or ill-suited to it's intended role, Blood Hunter's simply created a new vessel or new version of said vessel. The Prowler is an attempt to blend balanced firepower, and mission versatility into a single vessel.
This versatility comes largely in the form of hanger selection. In the past, vessels were outfitted with support craft based largely on the role said vessel was intended to fulfill. The Prowler is the first Blood Hunter's Iron Works product to leave this section open ended, there by giving the option of support craft best suited to individual missions. A Prowler being used in a patrol capacity may make better use of Interceptors as opposed to Heavy Bombers, for instance.
As with most Blood Hunter's Capital Ships, The Prowler's strength of arms lies in it's broadside weaponry. A number of Twin Turbo Laser Turrets run along the narrow body of The Prowler. These turrets act as the ship's primary weapons and are supported by a Heavy Turbo Laser near the prow, or nose, of the ship. In conjunction with the Concussion Missile Tubes along each side, there's no mistaking the strength of it's broadside capabilities.
The Prowler also boasts a formidable forward weapons array. Four individual Turbo Laser Turrets are mounted to the prow of the vessel. These turrets offer a decent fire arch, and can be aimed individually in order to track priority targets. A single Concussion Missile Tube addes to The Prowler's forward firepower, helping to enhance the otherwise minimal weaponry. Finally, The Prowler sports Blood Hunter's Iron Works signature cannon, two forward mounted M.A.R.C. 1s. These Heavy Mass Drivers fire a monstrous six meter long, nine ton slug of solid Titanium. The main drawback to these heavy hitters is that they are built into the very framework of the ship, meaning they can only fire directly forward. Additionally, the limited ammunition supply for these weapons must be taken into consideration. Wise Captains reserve these weapons for delivering the finishing blows to damaged ships, or as part of a volley in conjunction with allied vessels.
