Description

Blue Planet Tech Room Description

The SCWS-21 Archer is a long-range gauss cannon carried on the Uriel gunship's axial mount. The Archer excels in destroying specific subsystems on enemy warships far out of reach of their anti-fighter defenses. It is ill suited for dogfights, or for engaging maneuverable targets at distances. The standard ammunition loadout for this weapon is ineffective against shields and overpenetrates most hull armor, restricting it to the long-range anti-subsystem role.

This is absolutely essential for downing enemy beam cannons and other subsystems at long range.
