−	*; Alternate Configuration  B : The all laser carrying ''Batu'' B configuration is an excellent strafing vehicle, mounting seven [[medium pulse laser]]s: three in the nose and two fitted in each wing. An [[ER medium laser]] discourages anybody who seeks to interrupt the pilot's strafing run, while the included [[targeting computer]] making this configuration's attacks impressively accurate.

−	*; Alternate Configuration  C : A failed attempt at a cool running configuration, the ''Batu'' C is built around a [[Gauss rifle]] in its nose supported by two [[ER medium laser]]s, with twin [[ER small laser]]s mounted in the wings. An additional ER medium laser is mounted aft, but pitiful single ton of Gauss reloads forces the pilot's to drop back to their relatively weak laser weaponry.

−	*; Alternate Configuration  E : The ''Batu'' E is apparently geared for anti-[[DropShip]] and anti-[[WarShip]] operations. The nose carries a single [[UAC/20]] and the aft is protected by four [[Technology Rating|advanced]] [[Improved One Shot]] [[Streak SRM-2]] launchers.

A pair of [[ER medium laser]]s in each wing provides close-in firepower, while the nose-mounted [[iATM 12]] provides most of the ''Batu'' Z's hitting power.
