Description
Considered to be well armored and fairly well armed, the Lucifer is known for its tight manuevering and prolonged weapons fire capabilities. However, numerous issues with coolant and the targeting & communications systems have plagued the design, and the ejection system was removed when the frame was refitted. However, the craft is respected for its anti-DropShip mission and House Steiner has invested heavily in production.
Armament
The LCF-R15 is laser-heavy, with two Large Lasers, four Small Lasers, and one Medium Laser, all provided by the Maxell corporation. This variant also comes equipped with the Holly Long-Range Missile 20-Rack, providing it with that far off capability to soften up a DropShip's armor, so that the four Medium Lasers can do increased damage on the close-up pass.
Variants
- LCF-R16 - The LCF-R16 upgrades the armor with Ferro-Aluminum, and improves the crafts weapons: The four small lasers are replaced by 2 Streak SRM-2s, the rear-firing medium laser is upgraded to a Medium Pulse Laser, and the large lasers are upgraded to ER Large Lasers. The new Lucifer also includes Double Heat Sinks and Artemis IV FCS. BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 1,443
- LCF-R20 - This Lyran version places more armor and three additional heat sinks, at the expense of the LRM rack, in order to increase the combat loiter time necessary for anti-DropShip operations. BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 1,536
- LCF-R16K - The LCF-R16K Lucifer II was based on captured LCF-R15s and LCF-20s. The Lucifer II sacrifices armor and the LRM-20 in order to upgrade the power plant to a Manatwist 260. It also has a close range SRM-6 rack. BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 1,109
- LCF-R16KR - The LCF-R16KR Lucifer II is a major upgrade over the original LCF-R15. This variant is protected with Ferro-Aluminum armor, and saves mass with a 260 XL Engine and removal of the LRM-20. Compared with the LCF-R15, the craft adds two SRM-6s, upgrades the large lasers to ER Large Lasers, upgrades the small lasers in each wing to a single Medium Pulse Laser, and the rear-facing medium laser to a Medium Pulse Laser, but drops some armor[1][2]. BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 1,399
- LCF-X30 - Developed by the Shipil Company on Skye, the LCF-X30 is a test-bed for Experimental Technology. Replacing the standard engine with an XL version and swapping the standard armor for Ferro-Aluminum was the starting point. Removing the standard weapon load for the Lucifer was the next step. In place of the standard weapons, the LCF-X30 carries a Binary Laser Cannon in the nose, an Extended LRM-10 in each wing for long range hitting power, while a Medium X-Pulse Laser covers the rear arc. Only two are known to be undergoing testing. BV (1.0) = ?? BV (2.0) = 1842[3]
