Tech Room Data
The GTW-83 Lamprey cannon is a second-generation Leech gun. It drains the energy systems of its target, depleting the reserves available to the target's Primary weapons, shields, and engines. Coupled with a weapon that pummels both hull and shields, the Lamprey is highly effective against enemy fighters and bombers.
Veteran Comments
Though I've tried this repeatedly in single player, it seems to have no effect. Perhaps in multiplayer it does, so try it there and tell me.
In multiplayer the Lampray loses out somwhat, although it functions as predicted, it doesn't prevent the target from fireing missiles. In many ways it's simpley more efficent to take duel GTW UD-8 Kayser, GTW Prometheus S, or GTW Subach HL-7 to the target and get done with it rather then fiddle around with such whimsy as the Lamprey. I'm sure that under some tactical situations this is an excellent weapon however.
This thing can be quite annoying if it is used against you... If you get constantly shot at by this thing, you won't even be able to shoot a single bullet, because your energy reserves are already drained within the first 3-5 shots... Not mentioning the shields going haywire. Very effective against stuff and people who rely alot on highly energy consumptive weaponry, such as a GTF Erinyes with Full Kaysers. Shoot him with this several times, and he's hopeless
