Recognition notes
The Rapier RPR-300S is an 85-ton fighter flown as a dogfighter, rebuilt around an Extended LRM 10 in the nose where the RPR-100 carried an Autocannon/20, twin PPCs, and an LRM 10 together. The nose weapon count drops from four guns to one, with a ER Medium Laser in each wing and a pair of ER Medium Lasers in the aft replacing the concentrated forward battery of the original. The XL engine and Heavy Ferro-Aluminum armor replace the RPR-100's Fusion engine and Standard armor, and heat sinks rise from 12 to 15 double heat sinks. Recognition guides flag it as a maintenance-intensive design. Lockheed/CBM Corp. builds it at Tharkad, the same factory world as the original.
