The SG Rahu

Description:

FS2 Tech Room Description

Almost nothing is known of the Rahu line of gas miners. It is assumed that they function in much the same way as our Zephyrus miners, funneling nebular gas into internal machinery that fractionates it into its molecular components for further processing. Rahu miners are armed with heavy laser turrets, so care must be taken when attacking them.

Veteran Comments

Attacking a Rahu should present you no great problems, though it is best done from the stern to avoid the turrets. Be well away from it as it explodes, because the Rahu's blast is no laughing matter, and at short range can shatter a lightly built fighter like a Serapis.

For some reason, this thing has extremely weak subsystems, especially the engines... a dozen of shots disables it... All you need to do is sit behind it's engines and hold your fire button... and then back off for the big boom
