General Information

The simplest of all the PDS turrets available. It is however an excellent turret with the best range of all the turrets, making it fire before any other turret. The primary targetting is set to Corvette class, and it does an excellent job at it.

Weapons Details

The turret weapons system is as its name suggest based on Meson particle projectiles. A 1 meter wide mini cyclotron with an eonium field accelerates Meson particles up to near lightspeed. The turret's tracking system is very fast, and allows for the turret to hit ships very efficiently.

Defence Details

This turret uses a metal/crystal self reinforcing liquid armor. This type of armor is excellent for stationary targets that do not travel at high velocity.

Notes

This turret is a lot more powerful than the more expensive Interceptor ship, and has the same targetting. However, there is only a limited enemy fire avoidance engine fitted. Once in orbit around a planet it stays there till its been shot down.
