The SF Astaroth


Description:

FS2 Tech Room Description

First encountered in Gamma Draconis, the SF Astaroth is a fast, agile fighter that appears to have achieved its maneuverability at the expense of its armor and weaponry. Once the shields of an Astaroth are down, the fighter can be dispatched quickly.

Developer Notes

None

Veteran Comments

The Astaroth is similar to the Dragon in most respects, only more annoying. It has a ridiculously small target profile, the smallest of any ship in any Freespace game, and is fast and highly manuverable, making it annoyingly difficult to deal with via primaries. It also has a decent, though not impressive, amount of missiles to back up its lasers, unlike the Dragon. Destroy this ship at range via missiles if at all possible.

Very hard to dogfight against. However, a few harpoons bring it down quickly and painlessly at medium range.
