Medusa Heavy Interceptor

The MEDUSA Heavy Interceptor is a small grid fightercraft for space and non-atmospheric, low gravity environments. Additional protection, strong thrust capacities and a good portion of armament form a ship that is intended to intercept and destroy incoming enemy fightercrafts, making the MEDUSA the dedicated escort-craft of the line.

This item is full vanilla and easy to build in survival. It is fully conveyed, thruster-damage compatible and uses no DLC, mods or subgrids.

With its embedded Cockpit, additional front-armor, an aggressive shape and a wide selection of hydrogen-powered auxillary thrusters, the MEDUSA stands ready to attack any fightercraft, entering it's sphere of influence.

The MEDUSA is the last step of the Gorgon-project, closing the gap between its sister-ships. Either being stored on a home base or mothership, the fighter stands by to perform escort missions or short-range patrols on demand. A selection of large Ion-Thrusters in all directions enable the ship to perform quick turns and also allow the MEDUSA to safely operate under moon-gravity. The hydrogen-thrusters can be turned off outside of combat-situations in order to safe fuel. A set of multiple large batteries also ensure that the ship can provide the power-output to fly at its limits. A selection of small reactors also provide additional power-supply.

In terms of armament, the MEDUSA features six 25mm gatling guns as well as two 200mm rocket launches, giving her a bit more firepower than the Stheno while lacking the precision of her older sister. Instead the MEDUSAs gun layout covers a wider area, increasing the chance to land a hit in a close combat dogfight.
