W001-Richard-OWP

Often compared to the W011, the W001-Richard-OWP (Orbital Weapons Platform) is the closest equivalent to a space version. It is merely a large sphere, with an attached rifle at the front, along with two side ammo drums. Its thrusters are extended on short poles, which allow it to adjust itself efficiently. Used mainly for point-defense roles, their small target profile and ease of use makes them ideal candidates for defending points in space; preferably with already existing ‘difficult terrain’, such as an asteroid field. The fact that they’re hard to hit and easy to over-look and ignore, allows them to land a surprising amount of kills on those that are less experienced; most Richard pilots are referred to as ‘Dicks’ because of it.

Optional armaments
An alternate standard loadout for these would be the Deep Space Weapons System:
 * Missile Pods (Medium) x 2 (equipped to sides, replaces ammo drums)
 * Cruise Missile Launcher x 1 (equipped to top)
 * Mid-Weight Long Beam Rifle x 1 (replaces Linear Rifle)
