02.Bullfrog

Sonic Mining Platform "Bullfrog"

Initially used for mapping and deep sea mining operations, the Bullfrog is now one of the main workhorses of the war.It has a high intensity doppler pulse system used for mapping out underwater cave systems. The Bullfrog has heavy shielding to protect against pressure and potential cave-ins, which proved invaluable when the wars started. It was soon refitted to be a heavy weapons platform, with micro-torpedoes retrofitted in every possible hardpoint, and two pairs of high velocity supercavitating needleguns fitted on side turrets.

Bullfrog pilots soon realised that by overcharging the ping function of the ping system, they could inflict massive pressure damage on surrounding craft. This system was soon repurposed as an effective area of affect damage weapon by Bullfrog pilots, who christened it "The Croak"

Pilots are not advised to overuse this ability as it is not clear how well Bullfrog's hull can withstand repeated abuse with stress of this magnitude.
