Description
A House Marik production of a Star League design, the Cheetah is a light support or reconnaissance ASF. With little armor, the Cheetah is designed to use speed to evade enemy defenses to complete a mission, but is at a serious disadvantage if faced with heavier aerospace fighters. The high thrust rating and speed comes at a cost of significantly high fuel consumption, limiting the Cheetah to a short range in the basic variant.
Armament
Well armed for a light aerospace fighter, the F-10 Cheetah has a Starflash I Small Laser in the nose and a Starflash II Medium Laser in each wing. The lasers give the Cheetah a heavy punch for supporting other fighters or ground troops.
Variants
- F-11 - This upgraded variant uses an XL Engine, and change the armor to Ferro-Aluminum. The lasers are changed to pulse models. BV (1.0) = 583[3]
- F-11-R - The reconnaissance version of the Cheetah-R strips the two Medium Lasers and adds fuel. This version is not intended to fight an enemy, as the single Small Laser can offer only token resistance. BV (1.0) = 236[4], BV (2.0) = 197
- F-11-RR - Replacing the standard Fusion Engine with a GM 250-a XL Engine, the upgraded Cheetah-R has 10 tons of fuel and mounts 2 Starflash Medium Lasers in addition to a Small Laser.[5][6] BV (1.0) = 492[7], BV (2.0) = 448
- F-12-S - The Cheetah-S removes the Medium Lasers and one ton of fuel, to be replaced by an SRM-4 pack and ammo. This variant is used as a defensive craft for installations or Dropships. BV (1.0) = 329[8], BV (2.0) = 299
- F-13 - This model upgrades the lasers to extended-range models, and mounts a ER Medium Laser to each wing. The armor is changed to Ferro-Aluminum for better protection and add double heat sinks for a better cooling management. BV (1.0) = 973[9]
