CursedPh4nt0m Such ion beam "fans" have proofed very useful in combat actually - they have low prism combining dropoff - they cover a larger area far away and focus good when a ship comes near.
On the Spectre the Tractor beams help to pull ship into the beams.
Flak is good offense and defense at same time thats why i choose it here.
So much for wapon choices.
Ofc this ship is not a die hard compeditive and reasonable ship - the vessel makes for fun flights and fights!
