Description
You can obtain this ship in game from NPC Trading Outposts owned by builder factions. It's suitable for escort and search contracts.
The Burstfire Bomber equates the Cursor in fire power, but surpasses it in weight and power generation. This is because the Burstfire contains four small reactors and four small 02/H2 generators for its twin hydrogen tanks.
It's a fast hydrogen ship that can be sent on long missions in space or on planets, since it can refuel with ice on the journey. For planetary landings, it has extra atmospheric thrusters.
It has several gatling turrets and forward facing gatlings. It's called bomber because it can shoot rockets forwards and also straight downwards from hidden ventral rocket launchers. Despite the name, it is rather optimised for style and not for the battlefield, especially since the exposed hydrogen tanks are an obvious weak point.
