Pterodactyl

Pterodactyls are the speedy insertion dropships used by the dinosaurs of the First Fleet or Righteous Warriors.

Characteristics
Pterodactyls are suited for speed rather than strength, as are most vehicles in the dinosaur fleet. They can reach speeds of up to 1000 miles per hour in atmosphere.

Armaments
The Pterydactyls are equipped with two nose turrets which are a chain gun and a torpedo.

The armour of the dropship is scant, as it is built for racing other dropships, not fighting them, and can only withstand half the firepower other dropships can. They can be installed with shield distributors but this reduces the troop transport capacity from 30 to 25 men.

Trivia

 * The Pterodactyls are powerful, able to carry the Tyrannosaur Landmaster tanks at top speed.


 * The dropships have been known to accelerate to top speed in four seconds.
