Esperia Talon ship overview

The Esperia Talon is a small and light single-seat fighter designed for escort services and targeted strikes. Built in the Tevarin style, the Talon has powerful, directional "Phalanx" shields for maximum maneuverability, but weak physical armor once the shields are dropped. A pair of Size 4 weapons and a size 3 missile rack complement the Talon's "strike first and strike hard" combat style.

Key features

• Shielding: The Talon is famous for it unique "Phalanx" shields which offers powerful protection from a focused direction, making it ideal for devastating hit-and-run attacks typical of the Tevarin offensive strategy
• Cockpit: Even though the cockpit has been significantly modified for Human use, it is still quite different in may ways compared to other craft. From its unique single-stick control scheme to its Tevarin airshielding, to the fact that the entire cockpit is also a detachable escape pod
• Stealth: The alloy that makes up much of the Talon's hull is a fully synthetic material, reverse-engineered in-house to replicate the uncommon stealth qualities of the mysterious metal on which it is based
• Speed: The vehicle offers blinding speeds that facilitate dive-assault tactics. This offensive approach are achieved via super-charged thrusters and a traditionally aerodynamic frame
• Weapons: For a light fighter, it can hold powerful weaponry normally associated with larger craft with its pair of Size 4 gun hard-points. It also has a pair racks which can hold two Size 2 missiles each
• Internal Storage: The ship has internal storage, but it can only be accessed in the loot menu, and does not reveal its total capacity. This can be accessed as normal by holding F on the cockpit entry and selecting "Loot". On the other hand, a bespoke place for large weapons is on the left side facing the cockpit(or to your right in the cockpit). This can carry two large rifles and one or two small items.
• NOTE: You must jump in order to re-equip the top placed weapon on the rack
