Overview

The Split M4+, the Asp improves on the M4 Scorpion primarily in shield strength.

Background

The Asp is a highly maneuverable medium fighter, which can hold its own against most similar-sized opponents.

Physical Characteristics

Painted rusty red like all Split ships, the Asp resembles a crab's pincer, with two fuselages that meet at a combined cockpit/engine section at the stern.

Combat

Typically of Split ships, the Asp relies on its heavy firepower and evasive capabilities to defeat foes while lacking shields. The Asp's 25MJ is enough to take a few glancing blows from an M3, while it gives it almost complete dominance over basic M4s and M5s.

Suggested Roles

The Asp is a good mid-range fighter to use on carriers due to its reasonable cost, heavy firepower and good evasion. Its PBE compatiblity makes it deadly against all classes of ship, while it costs a fraction the amount of an M3.
