R-41 Starchaser (R-41)

The R-41 Starchaser resembles the less maneuverable Z-95 with ions. One direct hit of all 4 weapons can make its shields down and even disable some systems, a second hit and it's over. So best apply the hit and run tactic here. In XWA don't forget to link lasers and ions and the usage of laser convergence, which can be set manually to different values but leave it on automatic would be best.
