TIE Fighter Stats [X-Wing: Alliance | X-Wing vs TIE Fighter | TIE Fighter | X-Wing | RPG ]   Name: Spectre Advanced Missile Boat (SPECTRE) SLAM System: Yes Weaponary: 1x Green Lasers 2x Ion Cannons 2x Variable Load Warhead Launchers 2x Advanced Concussion Missile Launcher   The Missile Boat suffered in dogfighting capability with only one forward mounted laser pod. Shadow works has overcome this deficiency with a little piece of hardware called the "dual-shunt capacitor". The capacitor allows energy to be diverted to two energy weapon mounts instead of one. The gun power matrix can hold triple the energy for use in shields, improving the defensive qualities of the Spectre. A pair of Ion Cannons are mounted alongside the laser barrel providing optimal suppression firepower. Mission Objectives: Essentially the same as Cygnus Spaceworks' Missile Boat. The enhancements provided by Shadow Works allow a more controlled and flexible approach by using warheads to quickly down shields or turbolasers, then using the Ion Cannons to disable a fleet in minutes. A single Spectre could conceivably devastate a squadron of CRVs or a pair of FRGs in the hands of a skilled pilot. Planetary defence would be an ideal use for such craft, as starships would be susceptible to sub-light speeds and limited intra-system manoeuvring. A group of Spectres could SLAM in and cripple them with one pass.
