ADVANCED SYSTEMS
C-3a "Mercury" Class Communications Suite: Haon finally broke down and bought a supply of them, hoping they will come in handy. These are much more updated communications systems than before, hoping it be more challenging for them to break into. (x)
Maneuvering Jets: While pitted all across the TIE/VM, it allows it to make complex turns while keeping the extreme amount of speed possible to do all of this. (x)
Scramjet Booster: How it is able to get to such extreme speeds in a hurry. Activating it will give the speed it requires possible for a short period of time before needing a recharge. In space however, that recharge is very short while in atmospheric, it can take a while.
ST2X Targeting Computer: While slightly aged in todays standards, it is still a prime example of targeting computer technology, allowing the user to keep target locked on and perform complex maneuvers while giving ridicules on where to fire. (x)
STRENGTHS
- All the Firepower!: It has a massive array of dangerous weaponry, making it difficult to fight against, even if you are a corvette.
- No SLAM/Scramjet Limit: Unlike previous generations, this SLAM is more perfect than the last one. It is almost close to full realization as it never overloads on this starfighter.
- No Ejection System: It must either survive a crash landing or hope it can stop the starfighter to get out of it manually when damaged. There is no pull out switch.
- Exposed Scramjet!: It has a glaring weakness on the back, the Scramjet almost mounted completely on the outside. If shot, it will reduce its speed down significantly.
Heavy Starfighters seemed to be almost obsolete the last few years, Haon Hafey wished to bring them back into the fold. Bringing forth what was only described as a weapons platform, it was designed to go in and destroy a target with a variety of weapons. Laser cannons for starfighters, an ion cannon for capture operations, a Lightning Cannon to fry someones electrical systems or destroy critical parts on larger starships or even bomb a target a capital ship or the installation on the ground. Regardless, it was named the TIE/VM, mainly noted on the word Venom as it would most likely take a while for the poison to take effect from any of the number of weapons it shoots at a given target.
