Description
Considered to be well armored and fairly well armed, the Lucifer is known for its tight manuevering and prolonged weapons fire capabilities. However, numerous issues with coolant and the targeting & communications systems have plagued the design, and the ejection system was removed when the frame was refitted. However, the craft is respected for its anti-DropShip mission and House Steiner has invested heavily in production.
Armament
The LCF-R15 is laser-heavy, with two Large Lasers, four Small Lasers, and one Medium Laser, all provided by the Maxell corporation. This variant also comes equipped with the Holly Long-Range Missile 20-Rack, providing it with that far off capability to soften up a DropShip's armor, so that the four Medium Lasers can do increased damage on the close-up pass.
Variants
- -R20 - This Lyran version places more armor and three additional heat sinks, at the expense of the LRM rack, in order to increase the combat loiter time necessary for anti-DropShip operations.
- Lucifer II - The Kuritan version - based on captured -R15s and -20s, sacrifices armor in order to upgrade the power plant to a Manatwist 260. It also has a close-in SRM six-rack.
