The ground attack optimised Z5g which is carried by Pulsar attack cruisers and Rome corvettes in attack mode is to be improved. Z5g-EA (Enhanced Attack) will be rolled out to all installations over the next few weeks. It includes enhanced energy burst performance (i.e. a bigger bang) and improved rate of fire. Accuracy will also be improved with a new targeting computer build.
The Orchid wants the DDS' ground attack capabilities improved dramatically. One idea DDS Research have come up with is a ground attack rig. This would be an automated module including 3 Z5g-EAs and the relevant power and control systems. It would be towed by another ship over the target area. This could be carried to the battle zone aboard a Provider transport.
