Using the Royal Hawk unmodified is entirely viable, though this does mean it will not be fully armored. It also comes with a Thermal Exchanger in the center torso, reducing the heat of all its weaponry by a significant amount. It also has the Vectored Thrust kit that all Phoenix Hawks share. Even for the double-sinked Royal Hawk, this is a lot of energy weaponry, though using all of it effectively is not out of the question. The PXH-1b comes equipped with a Large Pulse Laser, two Medium Lasers, two Machine Guns, and a devastating ER PPC.In particular, the use of double heat sinks throughout the design makes the 1b capable of handling much, much more heat than its baseline sibling, while still being just as fast, tough, and deadly - if not moreso for the latter. The use of superior materials and technology in the PXH-1b makes it unbelievably dangerous, capable of fulfiling the P-Hawk's role with extreme effectiveness. Finding one on the field is nigh-impossible, and finding one for sale would absolutely require going through black markets or other underground channels.

Plus it'd let you stay at range as being within small laser range does open you up to retaliatory melee.The "Royal Hawk" is a Phoenix Hawk model built for the SLDF, and as such an extremely rare machine in the modern era. I haven't tried a single snub PPC, with the ++ version at 125 damage you'd have 150 after jumping. The only good thing about a big engine is better use out of COIL weapons but since they don't work when jumping they aren't that swell for the Phoenix Hawk who is all about the jumpy jump.

With the Vindicator you get more armor, more damage and more cooling. My Vindicator would have 5 heat sinks, 2 machineguns (for the heat), 4 medium lasers, 1 SRM6, 4 jump jets, 920 armor and be at +15 heat with an Alpha that does 178 damage.Īt best you get an extra evasion with the Phoenix Hawk and a lot farther jump. My Phoenix Hawk would have 2 heatsinks, 2 small lasers, 3 medium lasers, 6 jump jets, 880 armor and be at +12 heat with an Alpha not counting the jets.
