Anvil F7C-M Ravager Variant
Anvil F7C-M Super Hornet Mk I Build
Overview: The Anvil F7C-M Ravager Variant is a salvaged retrofit of the Anvil F7C-M Super Hornet Mk I, purpose-built to outperform the Mk II and Heartseeker variants. This loadout maximizes combat efficiency through high-DPS energy weapons, tactical missile variety, and full turret integration. Every part is sourced from the field and hand-selected for performance.
"For the ones who dare fly too close—not to the sun, but through enemy fire."

Component Performance Summary
- Behring M4A Lasers: Fast, reliable, and efficient nose guns that allow precise mid-range engagements with low power draw.
- Attrition-3 Repeaters: These energy weapons ramp up DPS the longer you fire, outclassing static laser setups in sustained fights.
- Panther Turret (Twin): Restoring turret functionality adds significant coverage and damage potential, especially against agile ships. A massive advantage over stripped-down Mk II builds.
- Dominator II Missiles (EM): Electromagnetic missiles cripple shield systems early, forcing evasive maneuvers and reducing return fire.
- StrikeForce II Missiles (IR): Infrared missiles ensure hull damage once shields are down, rounding out a perfect alpha strike capability.
- Ares Power Plant (Mil-S): Stable energy output under high load. Keeps all weapons, shields, and systems running at peak under fire.
- FR-76 Shield Generator: Strong, fast-regenerating shields give the Stomper endurance and staying power.
- SnowPack Coolers (x2): Prevent energy weapons from overheating. Crucial for keeping Attritions and Panthers firing during prolonged combat.
Combat Strategy
- Open fire with M4As for accurate mid-range targeting.
- Follow up with Attrition-3s, which build DPS the longer they fire.
- Turret Panthers provide full-angle coverage — ideal in PvP and AI support.
- Dominator II (EM missiles) disrupt enemy shields early.
- StrikeForce II (IR missiles) clean up hulls for fast takedowns.
- SnowPack coolers prevent overheating from energy weapon spam.
