Description
When this weapon's destructive potential became apparent on the field of battle, a law was created to prohibit its civil and military use. Since then, its deployment has violated all war conventions. Although nearly all stockpiles were destroyed in compliance, a few arms traders managed to steal the blueprint.
Characteristics
Scatterguns, in particular, stand out from other in that its projectiles travel very fast and far, bursting into small explosions when close to any ship or asteroid. If no target is approached by the projectile, no explosion is made.
The Icarus Heavy AS possesses the best overall stats out of the three available through the Valkyrie add-on (Nirai .50 AS and Berger Flak 9-9), though it fires the slowest at about once every second. The projectiles' extreme range and speed—farthest and second-fastest, respectively—and their explosive capabilities makes this weapon perfect for attacking clumps of ships from far away, before they can even register you as a target. Sacrificing a considerable amount of DPS output for increased range and power, this scattergun is worth the Mass Driver MD 10 if the player does not particularly enjoy close-quarter combat.
This weapon is obtainable bonly via a blueprint, or rarely, from ships of Most Wanted Criminals.
The Icarus Heavy AS is comparable to M6 Series of beam lasers as it has long range and low DPS, but it fires much faster.
