Greetings Commanders,
Due to a lack of information on these things I wanted to make an entry where I could post up some information for anybody who may be curious about these things.
-These are special reward weapons you get from a human technology broker.
-They are size 2 and have two versions; fixed and turretted.
(I do not have turret version, however from what I've read, they seem to be bugged. Though I suspect they are not bugged, they just don't have the auto function of most turretted weapons, instead it functions like a turretted mining laser where it allows another player to control it).
-The weapon itself is tricky to use. You basically fire by pressing the fire button and keeping it held. When the flak flashes red release the fire button and it will "flak" creating a cloud of skree which WILL damage your own ship if you are too close.
-This does insane module damage.
-It ignores shields.
-Point Defense shoots the ammo down.
-It has low ammo amount, but can disable ships fairly quickly... Unless they have point defense.
-Let me reiterate if you fly too close from when it "flaks" your ship and modules will take damage.
-Seems to be bugged as it will damage just about every module except cargo hatch.
