Description
The Lochaber is designed for one thing and one thing only: The total destruction of enemy capital ships and stations. The silhouette of the Lochaber when seen from above has led luckless ship crews to nickname it the "Devil's Cross".

Capable of carrying a crew of three, the Lochaber features four merge block mounts that enable it to carry a wide variety of outboard ordnance such as the Longbow two-stage, Hammerhead guided, or basic Lance torpedoes. With the extra crew handling both ship defense via turret gunning or priming, firing, and even guiding torpedoes while the pilot handles the tricky flying, the Lochaber is a capital ships worst nightmare outside of another capital ship.

Composed almost entirely of the heaviest armour available to fighter class craft to enable it to stay on target for as long as possible, the Lochaber features four CSD Scattercannons for anti-fighter defense as well as an underslung CSD Battlecannon firing high explosive rounds that can punch through large ship and station light armour in a single shot. The three gatling turrets are placed at the ships extremities and provide excellent coverage from all approaching angles so the Lochaber can remain on a steady course while launching torpedoes.

While slower and less agile than other fighter craft, especially when carrying ordnance, no other ship in the NeoTech arsenal is capable of launching such a devastating amount of firepower both accurately and while still managing to bring the ships crew home again.

Torpedo Notes:
- Lance: The Lochaber is capable of carrying a full load of the basic Lance torpedo. Once up to max velocity and lined up with a target the merge blocks can be released and gentle upward thrust applied to lift the Lochaber away from any released torpedo, which will continue to its target and detonate once within range.
- Hammerhead: The Lochaber is rated to carry a maximum of two Hammerhead torpedoes, one each at the extremity of each wing. The Hammerhead is a guided torpedo meant for precision strikes. Before loading a Hammerhead onto a bomber its thrusters should be turned off to avoid damage while manoeuvering. Once separated from a bomber any Hammerheads can be remote-controlled directly. Ensure the warhead group has been added to your UI with the "Detonate" command and press when the target is reached.
