The SB Shaitan

Description:

FS1 Tech Room Description

The Shaitan bomber is only slightly superior to our own bombers - it's shielding is better, but its capacity seems to be far worse. Perhaps the Shivans were so assured that they would only need one payload to destroy a target.

We consider the Shaitan to be a Class C threat.

Developer Notes

None

Veteran Comments

Color me confused, but the Shaitan is faster and more manueverable than the Herc but carries considerably less firepower. Yet the Herc is a "heavy fighter" and the Shaitan is a "light bomber". To make classification matters worse, the Shaitan actually doesn't carry any bombs, just a mediocre missle load.
