After the success of the Shadow and its LARP missiles, PFS continued to push the technology further with the Phantom Destroyer. This ship was designed to be a more sustainable missile platform than the Shadow, with the ability to manufacture and fire its own armament in the field.

Though not as agile as the Shadow, the Phantom makes a good compliment to any fleet's line of artillery, where it can sit behind the lines and bombard enemies from a distance with great precision.

Laser Assisted Remote Penetrator - LARP

Mass: 10,565 kg
Acceleration: 29.3 m/s^2
Battery: 1

The LARP is the latest in remote guided missiles, allowing it to precisely disable targets up to 10 km so long as the host ship has a line of sight.

TARGETING: When targeting, you have the option of using the rotating camera on top of the ship, or the main camera at the bow. The Main Camera is generally the better option, but for firing without moving the ship, you can use the rotating designator.

If the Designator is chosen as your targeter, you will need to switch the tag for these two items in the interface:

Remote Control [Shooter]
Remote Control [Shooter2]

Whichever remote control has the [Shooter] tag will determine where the missiles go. [Shooter2] is simply a placeholder.

Once a missile is fired, simply point the targeting camera at your target. Note that for the Main Camera (on the bow) the missiles will hit somewhat under the camera's crosshairs, so it is recommended to aim ABOVE your target. This deviation becomes less extreme at longer ranges.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS:

1. Make sure the wings are closed and the rotors have the missiles pointed up (6,7)
2. Activate the welders and view the bay cameras to ensure completion (3,4,5)
3. Deactivate the welders (3)
4. Extend the wings (6)
5. Point the missiles down (7) - make sure you ONLY do this after the wings have fully extended
6. Switch to tab 2 and fire
7. Repeat

----------------------------- KNOWN ISSUES --------------------------

Due to lag in MP, the wings can break off if you extend or retract them.

The ship has been tested to withstand aggressive maneuvers while not moving. However, performing these same turns at high speeds will result in catastrophic damage.

----------------------------- CREDITS --------------------------

The LARP missiles utilize Whiplash's GASP guidance system, which you should get here.
