StarHammer

The StarHammer variant of the Naval Man-o-War is the only vessel in the Royal Navy that can carry the massive Nova Mortar. The Entire bow of the standard Man-o-War has been reinforced and stretched to make room for this bombardment weapon and support the heavy recoil of its firing.

TriviaEdit

• In Open Skirmishes, all StarHammer names are adjectives.
• The mesh scene (which determines weapon, mesh, and effect placement) reveals that the StarHammer has mounting points for an extra LaserBall Cannon on each of its four broadside banks, similar to the standard Man-O-War. However this is not shown on the mesh themselves, and while the weapon points can be modded in, they will not look correct.
• In the files, the Starhammer, along with the Imperial Frigate and Imperial Man-o-War, was originally equipped with a point-defence Medium Lancer on its bow, instead of the Light Lancer it uses in the final game.
