================================================================================================
Overview:
Once upon a time, there was a hovercraft called the Shrew. It was a very nice hivercraft,
fast, ok armor, and it had 5 tons of omnipod space. Its a pity a VTOL is better at it's
job...
Capabilities:
A mid sized VTOL, the Starling is a single pilot attack bird intended to be good enough to
deal with light threats and cheap enough to be used as filler in militias.
The key features are a well above average air speed, and a third of its weight devoted to
Omni capacity.
Variants:
On the larger scale, the Starling is kinda like weapon carriers. Everyone quickly
developed their own. Cheaper and slower variants exist, Clan upgrades with ferro-lamellor
armor have been seen, etc.
Notable configurations:
Light PPC, capacitor, tcom.
2 medium lasers. M-pulse laser, tcom.
Twin LRM-5s
Troop compartment, chaff pod.
ECM, Active probe, TAG, Flamer
