RFP 'Sickle'

This vessel was designed as part of my Rapid Fleet Prototyping project. For more information on this project, please see the description of the world file, found here: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1499175300




The Sickle is a medium fighter, designed to bring an enormous amount of firepower in a small package, while still maintaining decent maneuverability. While it may not be as agile as, say, the RFP Vampire, it can front-load an incredible amount of missiles - especially through the use of Whiplash’s salvo script.

As part of the Rapid Fleet Prototyping Project, the Sickle was developed as a means of taking out less-defended vessels and installations in short order. However, with adequate support, it can function very well as a battleship hunter.
