A pale titanium hunter built for the frozen outer worlds. It does not try to kill you outright: it tries to slow you down for everything else.
ARMAMENT
- 01Cryo shard volleyFrost gathers at the two nose emitters, then a twin volley of physical ice shards flies ahead of you. A hit applies Chilled.
BEHAVIOUR
- 01ChilledYour lateral speed, Vector Thruster forward and back movement, and acceleration drop for a few seconds. Fire rate, shields and hull are untouched. New hits only refresh the timer; it never stacks.
- 02Mid-row supportHolds the middle and rear rows and dives late. Its emitters frost over just before each volley.
TACTICAL
Kill Cryo Hunters before their frost charge finishes. If you are Chilled, stop chasing and let it wear off before the next dodge.
SYSTEMS
- 01Cryo emittersTwo nose emitters that charge and launch the shards; the cryo reservoir between them glows cold.
- 02Pale titanium hullFrost-resistant light metal over a dark mechanism frame.
- 03PropulsionMain drive nozzles. The plume brightens when the craft dives or boosts.
ORDNANCE
- 01Cryo shardA faceted shard of supercooled ice. Direct damage plus Chilled on impact.
