Ships/Radovich

Radovich

With its very unusual high speed for its size the Radovich can be a very deadly long range turret skirmisher like the Scarab, and is an upgrade to the Scarab in virtually every area and can still be used in a more raw slug-fest with its 8 broadside ports. This one is well worth considering especially if you have been enjoying the Scarab.

Great ship for blockade-running and dead-drop missions because of its speed. Even if the enemy is using engine impairing, you can usually reach the station.

Maneuverability is great for its size, flies almost like a corvette or light frigate. Also good for mining and trading.

Turret placement on the Radovich is fairly standard. Three guns are evenly spaced along the narrow dorsal surface. The remainging four are placed in the centre of each large side. Despite expectations from such a long ship, there is a pair of small and forgiving arcs directly ahead and behind the ship. Keeping a target in these narrow arcs is difficult relative to the benefits, so most captains are advised to accept the reduction to only 5 turrets: use broadsides against enemy capital ships. Even for a swarm of strike craft, a good blast with the broadsides is as quick as using pulse turrets to shoot them down.
