The Type 21 Fast Attack Craft “Buzzard” is a swift and agile ship designed to combat other ships of it's size.

The Buzzard has 24 forward facing small lasers that are sequenced to maintain a high rate of fire. This volume of fire is useful when firing on fast moving craft. The Type 21 is also equipped with two large beam cannons to deliver a potent burst of heat. For increased performance against small ships, the Buzzard is armed with four auto-tracking laser turrets.

The ships interior is modest but contains all necessary facilities for extended missions, including kitchen and sanitary facilities as well as a bed and obligatory coffee machine.

The Buzzard's weak shield and low hull points mean it should not engage large ships except in an ambush or hit and run. The ships best defence is speed.

I shouldn't have put guns on the centreline. They break quickly during combat. Wing guns can last the whole fight. Lesson learned.
The sequencing of the lasers is a bit janky, but it works.
Lots of light bleeds through on this one, it's too small to enclose the interior in Blocks. Will have to consider this in future FAC.


Due to the Alpha status of Starship EVO, this ship will likely become obsolete quickly. I'm not sure how to update, will probably just build new ships as the game progresses.

If you find a problem with the ship, let me know. I've got a lot to learn. If you find a bug, tell Tsuna.
