Furion

In-Game Description
Difficulty: Very Hard

''The Furion is a medium attack craft featuring a flexible front-firing primary weapon system to combat a variety of threats supported by a highly damaging 360-degree close-range deterrent for those looking to undermine its limited firing arcs. While it excels at front attacks, its maneuverability is lacking.''

Summary
The Furion is a medium attack ship that specializes in taking down heavily armoured targets.

Its short-range heat-limited Plasma Thrower ignores enemy armor, and it carries a compliment of Corrode Drones which eat away at all of the armour on a target ship.

The rapid-firing AUG cannon has a narrow 100% forward firing arc, and anything not directly in front of the Furion can only be hit with one cannon.

The Furion Missiles are likewise forward-firing, but given enough of a turning radius they can track targets at any bearing.

Tips
Send your Corrode Drones at your target, then use the boost to close the distance. Fire your Furion Missiles and open up with the AUG Cannon on the way, then light them up with the Plasma Thrower once within range.

When facing a Furion, keep your distance, use mobility abilities, and maneuver to stay out out of the forward firing arc of its AUG Cannon and out of range of its Plasma Thrower. Use point defense and fighters to take out its Corrode Drones as quickly as possible.

Healers should prioritize assisting any ship engaged by a Furion at close range, as the Furion's high DPS and armor-denying ability mean it can make short work of all but the hardiest targets.
