Recognition notes
The Firefly FFL-4B is a 30-ton striker, a 3047 field refit of the 2679 FFL-3A original. Where the FFL-3A carried a scattering of small lasers and a TAG across its arms and torsos, the 4B strips that suite: the left arm's small laser and TAG give way to an Anti-Missile System, and the right arm's small laser is dropped altogether, leaving minimal, weapon-pod arms without hands. It carries a Medium Laser in the left torso, right torso, and center torso, and an LRM 5 in the right torso. The refit swaps the 150 XL fusion engine for a standard 150 fusion engine, trades the ten double heat sinks for ten single heat sinks, and replaces the ferro-fibrous armor with standard plating. Cruising speed holds at 54 km/h with a top speed near 86 km/h, and a single jump carries it 120 metres. It's built as a field refit at various sites rather than on a single factory line.
