Special abilities

Squad repair - All squadrons can be ordered to return to their parent ship and undergo repairs during battle, this can even replace lost craft in the squadron and can be done regardless of how much damage and losses the squadron has taken so long as it is still intact. As an additional note, Vespids will be restocked with it's 24 bombs upon docking with it's parent ship. This is done immediately, and can be sent back out the following turn.

Bomb target - Vespids can be ordered to attack a specific capital ship, where they will immediately move towards the target via the shortest route and release the squadron's entire payload of short-range bombs to devastating effect. When the order is given, the squadron will move towards and fly along either the top or the bottom of the target, depending on which side is closer when the order is given. Be mindful of the environment when giving the order to bomb a target, as the Vespid will not evade hazards such as flak and debris mines naturally.

Notes

• The design of the Vespid is a direct nod to the A-B Raider from Galactica 1980.
• In Deadlock's v1.5.112, the ship's hit points were increased from 32 to 36; ship size decreased from -2 to -3; and velocity increased from 3.0 to 3.4.
• The craft's name is from the scientific family name Vespidae, of which wasps and hornets are a part.
