The Phantom gunboat is similar in design to the standard Type-52 Troop Carrier. However, it is used as a combat superiority craft rather than as a troop transport. It is equipped with a chin-mounted [[heavy plasma cannon]] and four side-mounted plasma auto turrets - two on either side - and one aft plasma auto turret. It is capable of emitting a powerful [[Energy shielding|energy shield]] that can deflect missile attacks. | The Phantom gunboat is similar in design to the standard Type-52 Troop Carrier. However, it is used as a combat superiority craft rather than as a troop transport. It is equipped with a chin-mounted [[heavy plasma cannon]] and four side-mounted plasma auto turrets - two on either side - and one aft plasma auto turret. It is capable of emitting a powerful [[Energy shielding|energy shield]] that can deflect missile attacks. The energy shield is extremely powerful, and can withstand a great deal of sustained fire from the Sabre's chain gun, which can destroy the "space banshee" with a single hit, even on Legendary difficulty. It can be assumed that these are very expensive to fit on a Phantom, otherwise it would not make sense for ALL Phantoms to not posses such shielding, as it would dramatically increase their durability in combat. | ||
