Zoid Name: Pteras, Doctor Mod
Hopefull Rank: D
Description: The Pteras, Doctor Mod is my attempt to both reflect my characters ability to modify zoids and my hope to RP any Pteras fights in a way other then 'I take my 6 missile shots, and now cannot really do anything'. I gave it a new Red/Black/Gold Highlight color scheme to reflect my characters need to differentiate his work from that of others.
The Changes: Statistically, The Pteras Doctor Mod is very close to any other Pteras, it has no additional abilities or support systems that could help it. The only changes are in the weaponry mounted. To counterbalance for the slight increase in weight for the weapons, some of the external armor had to be removed, and it therefore takes more damage than it normally would.
I replaced the 2 AA mounted back missiles with 2 'Modular Setup' Missiles that allow the user to modify the setting (air/ground target, missile speed, arming times) before firing them(but not after) they are otherwise of approximately the same power as the AA mounted missles were. Since the back AA missles were missing from the sprite anyway, i just added in the new ones in its place on the back.
The only change aside from that is that the 18mm Vulcan Gun (not included in original sprite) to a 25mm Vulcan Gun, now mounted on either side of the head. This was mainly done to give the Pteras the option of attacking after the missiles have been spent (and actually having a weapon that could plausibly cause an effect) instead of just flying around waiting until it runs out of gas.
Summary of changes:
Weaker Armor
Replaced AA Missles with Modular Setup Missles
Replaced 15mm Vulcan Cannon with 25mm Vulcan Cannon, changed location of gun
