Burster

The Burster is the Anti-Aircraft MAX of the Terran Republic. It boasts two large flak cannons on both arms that can propel flak for great distances. While it cannot track aircraft like other Empire's Anti-Aircraft MAX's, enemy aircraft systems cannot detect it until it actually begins doing damage. The "Anchor" ability locks the MAX in place and reduces its field of fire, but essentially doubles it rate of fire and reduces the size of the cone of fire bloom. (The rate of fire when unanchored is so low that many pilots will simply ignore it.) The overdrive ability increases the rate of fire by 50% and still allows the Burster to move, offering a nice compromise.
