Description
A medium fighter mostly used by House Kurita, the Shilone has heavier arms and armor than most other fighters in its weight class. Early models suffered a manufacturing defect in the wing joint, resulting in several fatal crashes. All models were later upgraded with new wing joints and have had no structural failures since.
Armament
The SL-17 Shilone mounts a Shigunga LRM-20 and a Diverse Optics Type 10 Large Laser in the nose. For shorter range attacks, two Diverse Optics Type 20 Medium Lasers in the wings can be used to finish the job. In case of another fighter finding itself behind the Shilone, a rear-facing NCK "Thornbush" SRM-4 launcher can dispatch pursuit.
Variants
- SL-17AC - The most notable variant replaces the nose mounted LRM-20 rack and a heat sink for an Autocannon/2, with a total ammo loadout of 45 rounds. This allows the Shilone to fight at increased range, surprising the enemy and staying out of harm's way.
BV (1.0) = 1,016, BV (2.0) = 972 - SL-17R - This simple upgrade of the SL-17 replaces the low-tech heat sinks with double strength versions[1]. BV (1.0) = 1,214, BV (2.0) = 1,230
