The GVF Ptah

Description:

FS2 Tech Room Description

The stealth prototype GVF Ptah was a top-secret development project assigned to Vasudan conglomerate Akheton Corp. Designed to be invisible to standard detection arrays mounted on combat craft, Ptahs have performed admirably during their OpEval period. The masking materials and blending technologies used across their outer surfaces seem to confuse Shivan detection systems as well. The Ptah is currently available only to select fighter units in the Vasudan navy, with no word on when they will be more widely distributed.

Veteran Comments

Statistically identical to the GTF Pegasus, only 2 meters shorter and somwhat thicker, this is more of a recon craft than a fighter; don't get in any big dogfights in this ship. It manuvers like a dream, even better than the GVF Serapis, but its weak defenses and limited secondary capacity play against it. It cannot be targeted unless there is an AWACS vessel nearby, alowing it to do things like scanning a Sathanas, covertly.

It is statistically identical to the Pegasus, but is actually worse. Its' target profile is much bigger than that of the Pegasus. Rather than being a razor thin triangle, the Ptah is more of a scrunched up ball with a few things sticking out. The ball is compact, but is not as difficult to hit as the Pegasus.
