The CORE Falcon Heavy Bomber

	The CORE realised they needed a heavy bomber to counter the amazing Crossbow, but were unable to duplicate any of the technology involved, furthering their suspicions of alien technology present in the ARM's arsenal. Instead, they opted for a combination of their Scorpion and Sabre class fighters. The Scorpion's armour was able to withstand heavy fire, and so its body was altered to accomodate a variety of new weapons.
	Placed on top is a rapid-fire ACS rocket launcher capable of launching impressive salvos of light ACS rockets towards its target. The wing mounts have been replaced with the heaviest mass drivers the CORE could fit. This array of weapons have produced a fighter capable of punching through thick armour.
	However, the engines of the Falcon struggle under the mass of its weaponry, and cannot provide the ablity that the Scorpion is blessed with. It can, however, outmanuver the Crossbow. The lack of shields does leave it more vulnerable, but it ends up slightly cheaper.
