Subject: Prototype VHB Field Test

During the routine checkpoint set up around Leeds last night we were engaged by Phantoms. I believe a full report on the encounter has been made so I'll spare you the details. Contact me for any more info on the matter.

This report is about the the new Prototype VHB I've been lucky enough to be the test pilot for. This ship handles beautifully in a full on combat situation as was proven last night during the phantom encounter, as it was easily able to strip the shields and begin causing damage on the phantoms within seconds while i was running interference for Special Agent Max De Virgo on his intelligence gathering mission.

All the agility of a VHF after all the hull technically is of a manta if my eyes serve me well enough, but for the most part the firepower of a Bomber.

It is agile, quick, very responsive. the targeting systems for the secondary weapon grouping is a little touchy and takes getting used to but can strip the shields of just about anything in a matter of minutes, and in most cases seconds. The primary weapon cluster delivers an adequate amount of firepower to blast through the hull of most anything.

The Manta power core can handle extended abuse without breaking a sweat due to the weapons clusters being separated and the missiles not constantly taking away from the available power. Extended dogfighting is a viable option for this model even when out of missile ammo.

I would recommend this load-out for mass production with slight tweaks for those who aren't licensed to carry nomad tech. a slightly weaker version of the same prototype.

The following is a load-out of the current prototype and also my recommendations for the weaker mass production model:

Prototype VHB:

2x Nomad Energy Blasters
2x Ultra Sunrails
2x Paralyzer Missiles
1x Mini Razor
1x Nuclear Mine

Recommendations:

2x Paralyzer Missiles
4x Buckshot
1x Mini Razor
1x Nuclear Mine

I personally would like to thank you for allowing me to be a part of the research put into this wonderful piece of machinery. I prey the engineers at The Doghouse keep up the good work.
