The GVB Sekhmet

Description:

FS2 Tech Room Description

The GVB Sekhmet is a Shivan design that was initially adapted to Vasudan needs by Hammer of Light engineers. The version currently in use was further modified by technicians at Mekhu Enterprises. Sporting four primary weapon banks and three missile/bomb bays, the Sekhmet packs a massive punch. Add in a top speed that surpasses that of some fighters and an ultra-dense molybdenum armor plating, and it's easy to see why the Sekhmet is the favorite bomber among Vasudan pilots.

Veteran Comments

The Sekhmet's four primary guns are mounted in a single bank, giving it a rate-of-fire advantage against just about anything, but also limiting its adaptiblity once commited to the field. Nevertheless, this is a potent bomber, and if only on a par with the Boanerges or Ursa in toughness, it manuvers better.

Considered by many to be THE BEST bomber in the game, while others prefer the Terran design philosophies of the Medusa and Ursa.
