As far as combat capabilities, how would you compare the Phoenix to the Andromeda?
TL;DRThe Phoenix has the same number of hardpoints as the Andromeda but different stock guns and components, plus a remote turret added later, making it somewhat more capable, though it needs another person to operate everything.
So it has similar loadouts to the Andromeda. Other than the remote turrets that will be added later, it has the exact same number of hardpoints. The stock loadout is going to have different guns. I can't remember exactly which guns are on there right now, but they are different, I think. It'll have the competition-grade power plant. So the components aren't exactly the same. The components are going to be different, but the hardpoints are the same.
So really, as far as combat capabilities, you're talking about a little more juice for the weapons and the addition of that remote turret.
Exactly.
I mean, an additional gun and more juice for the guns tells me it's more capable.
Yes, but you're going to need another person to operate all those guns.
Well, the remote turret will be automated. Eventually, it's automated. That's what the original point defense was. It's an automated weapon, so they'll have an AI blade.
Oh yeah, that's right.
