The Attack Bomber

Best used for medium and long range bombing runs.

The Sea Gull is fast and with her long range weapons the ideal ship to attack heavily armed destroyers and stations.

The Sea has strong forwardly oriented shields and therefore some vulnerability in the aft ship sections.

The 60 long range blizzards are best used to attack stations and can also endanger destroyers.
Blizzards can be detected by missile defences and it is good fan out missile volleys using a spiralling flight manoeuvre. Fired in multiple volleys, they overwhelm a targets missile defence by sheer numbers.

Short range tornado missiles are good protection against interceptors. Homing torpedoes have a powerful blast radius and can destroy whole wings of attacking interceptors / fighters. Select the wing leader as your target!

The unguided Torpedoes can damage a station considerably and are un-detectable by stations missile defences.

They require perfect aiming and should be fired from a stationary position.

To aim them use, the zoom function of the Tachyon PBC. Then switch back to the launcher and fire the torpedos.

The size and hull structure are not ideal for asteroid fields and tunnels. The Sea Gull is not a dogfighting vessel but in open space, a very dangerous opponent that you should never turn your back on.

Clay: When a Sea Gull unloads on you, you’ll know it!
