The Zoq-Fot-Pik Stinger is a light vessel which can outrun and outmaneuver most other ships but cannot sustain much damage.
The Stinger is a fast ship with excellent acceleration and turning rate.
Armament
Primary
The Stinger's main weapon is a spray of minute anti-matter particles which annihilate a tiny portion of the enemy ship's hull releasing colossal amounts of heat and light. In combat, the cannon is wildly inaccurate, but it can be employed an an interceptor to neutralize incoming fire.
Secondary
The Zoq-Fot-Pik's secondary weapon is a point-blank range attack. Should the Stinger maneuver adjacent to an enemy vessel, it can quickly extend a rigid, alloy tube from the front of the ship, similar to an insect's proboscis. If the tube strikes the enemy ship's exterior, it bores a tiny hole through the hull metal and injects a high-pressure stream of hot plasma into the interior of the vessel, inflicting massive amounts of damage.
Tactical Overview
Against ships like the Mycon Podship and the Ilwrath Avenger, this ship is a force to be reckoned with. It's superior speed and maneuverability enable it to attack such vessels with impunity.
Against most ships, a "tongue attack" is suicide, and showering the opponent with little anti-matter pellets is more potent, but on occasion it's fun to charge in and "lick 'em good", and against mega-ships like the Chmmr Avatar, it's your only chance to inflict any damage at all.
