The New Reliants

[Shadow Reaper]

Worth watching to the end. The original Tana was slated to have 10, S1 missiles. Looks like it now has 16, S2 missiles. That could make the Tana a serious contender, IMHO. Will be good to see some combat footage and compare the lock times against the gold standard which is the Vanguard. This could be a great ship for escort service with an NPC pilot since the AI for the missiles is the same for a PC and an NPC, so NPC launched missiles can be a big deal in a conflict.

Unfortunately, though this notes the Tana has 2S2 plus 2S3 lasers, he doesn't note which are fixed or gimballed and the ships page is out of date. The Hardpoint calculator hasn't been upgraded yet.

Can anyone here tell us what the Tana brings to the battle? How are the guns mounted, which shields, which missiles are stock, etc.? How is this stock and would you need to put mods in to make it competitive or is this NPC fodder that will fly okay stock?

IMHO, looks like if you own a Starfarer, you want to own at least 4 of these to fly escort with NPC pilot and gunners. That will keep pirates away.

Looks like. . .we'll see.
