Recognition notes
The Crossbow CRS-6B is a 60-ton missile boat that fights at long range, a 2473 rework of the 2468 CRS-X. Each arm's paired LRM 5 launchers give way to a single LRM 10, and the Right Torso's Large Laser is replaced by a PPC, while a Medium Laser remains in each arm. A 300 fusion engine replaces the CRS-X's 290, lifting cruising speed from 43 to 54 km/h and top speed from 65 to 86 km/h. Standard armor plating replaces the CRS-X's primitive armor. Arcturan Arms builds the type at its Arcturus factory.
