Notes:
The Simurgh is good at lifting ore from asteroids. That’s it. While it is not the atrocity of a vessel it
once was, it still lacks somewhat in combat capacity and speed. It was, however, designed for
mining, and with the modifications made to match the upgraded Harmattan the Simurgh performs
this duty well at last. When in full mining mode, it can overheat an asteroid quickly and it has
good cargo capacity, enough for perhaps nine medium-sized asteroids. With a size 3 ECM slot, it
can mount an Anti-Flux ECM as well. Many Octavian pilots, however, prefer to house weapons in
at least one of the size 2 slots, allowing them to destroy any idle Conflux possibly left behind by
other pilots passing though. The Simurgh is aggressively designed with this in mind as well; it
possesses more MODx and missile slots than any other Light Miner design, and by far the most
armor in its class. It is my no means a warship, but a Simurgh is more than capable than
defending itself against light Conflux and possibly even Light Fighters.
Ironically, the upgrades to the Simurgh have made it a better overall transport vessel than its
cousin the Wyvern; it is now the Octavian medium transport in addition to being the Light Miner of
the fleet (although it lacks the capacitor capability for very heavy size 3 weapons like the Hitman.)
