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
Similar to the GTF Pegasus, but swaps a gun pair for a missile bank, 2 meters shorter and somewhat thicker, this is more of a recon craft than a fighter; don't get in any big dogfights in this ship. It maneuvers 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, allowing it to do things like scanning a Sathanas, covertly.
This ship is a piece of ****! If the vasudans had done a joint terran/vasudan stealth fighter project like they did with the ullyses the result would have been somthing far better than this.
Name origin
In Egyptian mythology, Ptah was a deity that called the world into being. His name means opener of the mouth.
