Special Features

The rear gunner station and weapons have been replaced with a towed sensor array that increases sensor range to extreme when deployed. While Deployed, the ship cannot go faster than speed 3 without suffering -1 SS per turn. Deploying/recovering the array takes 1 action.

Sensor Operator - the Sensor operator Reduces the difficulty to spot and identify ships by 2.

Notes

A proposal to turn the Venerable ARC-170 into a dedicated Recon craft. Unlike the RC-170, the ERC (Enhanced ReCon) model strips *all* weaponry and removes the gunner in exchange for better speed, stealth, and sensors. One of the more intriguing features is the addition of a Towed Sensor Array that lets the ERC-170 increase its sensor array to Extreme. It also includes a HoloNet array to allow instantaneous transmissions of information.

Note for DMs - this can be treated as an internal design from Incom, allowing any faction to place orders for or acquire the plans for this design.
