================================================================================================
Overview:
    The third generation of Ravensbourne Specialist Engineering's Jenner, now sold under the
    Promethean Armouries label. A linear upgrade from the predecessor with more mobility and
    firepower. The sharp increase in price caused much of the usual customer base to balk.
    Ultimately considered a "failed" variant in terms of sales, the architecture of the -F4
    later served as the platform for later, more advanced variants.

Capabilities:
    The -F4 offered more mobility and firepower over the -F3, but with the increased fragility
    of an XL engine and a nearly doubled price tag. Gone was the heat neutrality of the -F3 but
    a pilot can still jump the full range and fire a few lasers without soaking heat. The medium
    lasers have been upgraded to pulse, their short range mitigated by the -F4's mobility, while
    the pulse's accuracy helped to counteract accuracy loss from the -4F's frenetic movement.

Variants:
    At time of release critics debated whether the -F4's performance was worthy of the price
    tag. The performance was there, it was faster, hit harder and hit more often, but the price
    increase seemed excessive. The -F3 was still in production alongside the -F4 because orders
    kept coming for the dramatically cheaper variant. The -F4's sales performance was akin to a
    PA Resurrection project but those kind of numbers were inadequate in the context of the
    level of investment put into the -4F's production lines. The -4F was itself considered a
    failure but it's architecture went on to be used in later PA Jenner variants nonetheless.
