Kriel-Infiltrator

(CV CPU Tier 4, Size Class 3, Unlock Level 25, Reforged only)

UPDATED VERSION
Due to some changes in game mechanic (e.g. weapons + shield parts) the ship is updated. Instead of the full set of minigun-turrets to the bottom I changed it to heavy cannons + lasers + a huge amount of sentry guns.
Furthermore the shield got increased to withstand enemy fire better.

Primary roles: Planetary Attack CV, Helios Module, Shield, Reforged only

The Kriel Infiltrator is a standard slot Helios Module meant to take out ground POIs by pure firepower. It can dock to the Helios by using the rear cockpit but main flight cockpit is located in opposite direction on the top floor. It only offers a 3rd person flight cockpit to ensure safety for the pilot. The small size of the module limits its survival features but at least there is space for loot and production of ammo. Although the nose section has a weird shape the module can be landed on the planet on flat ground close to the POI.

Combat

10 Heavy Cannon Turrets + 6 Heavy Laser Turrets are very powerful setup to attack planetary POIs. Combining firepower with the build in T2 shield and 1 Capacitor Bank + 4 Capacitors and 4 Chargers the ship can engage the harder POIs on planets (not Sector Command - NO!). The front nose with all turrets is built out of Combat steel with a decoy generator enclosed in Xeno to attract enemy fire. All vital components are placed in the back so loosing the front section does not lead to total loss of the ship. The Turrets and Sentries are fed from 2x 320k ammo controllers. For safety when landed to loot the POI the rear is protected by 2 Sentries which activate by signal logic (landing gear).

Survival

Due to the small size there is not much space for survival features. But the Module provides at least a few basics like detector, WIFI, full med bay, O2-station, fridge, armor locker and O2 ventilation everywhere inside the ship. 1 advanced constructor can produce more ammo or what else is needed. To store the loot or production materials there is 1x 320k standard storage controller integrated in the ship. But you will NOT find a farm, hangar or further RP-stuff inside.

Summary

- Reforged only - 1 Basic, 2 Improved, 5 Advanced Cores (2.1 m CPU)
- Helios Module to dock to the standard bay (1-X)
- massive firepower against ground POIs
- Shield at 30.450 stock
- hardened nose to resist counter fire and provide save pilot position (3rd person only)
- enough ammo storage, 1 advanced constructor to produce more

Fighting

- Keep in mind this is a Helios Module and no full size Combat CV. It is armed to the teeth and properly armored but Kamikaze-like attacks will lead to death - your death ;)
- Because of the construction the POI should be enganged from one corner and from the top - not close to the ground. All turrets should concentrate fire.
- Turrets are all set to Base turrets with the two top turrets and all outer row top turrets attacking drones as well. Don't mess around with drones, target is the POI.
- Pointing down the nose can sometimes lead to not shooting with all turrets. Try to stay leveled or slightly pointing up the nose.

Have fun attacking POIs as much as I had building this beast.
Thanks to JRandall for inspiring us with the Kriel faction.
