A large booster assembly, Fighter-Extension (the armor becoming the cockpit of a larger disposable unit) or a Powered-Frame for example. | * **Extension** - A part which mounts onto a given unit of sufficient, equal or greater mass than that of the unit.

| * **X Attack** - Optimized for a given environment. Example: Ground attack would be apt at moving through an atmosphere and over the ground in a way which is strategically smart (typically, heavy, slow and quiet). In terms of weapons, this will mean a weapon is especially designed to detonate or penetrate a particular kind of target. **Often, much cheaper, lighter and more effective than general-purpose weapons -- far more precise**. | * **X Attack** - Optimized for a given environment.

This usually means it goes back and forth hauling big disposable weapons and fuel like antimatter based kit and runs out quite quickly. Because it is not designed to last as long in the wild, it performs better because it can afford for its parts to be pushed beyond their normal limits so they need replacing on a regular basis because of usage, not damage. //This is often necessary because naval units are often front-line units and the extra performance is well worth the maintenance.// |
