Gameplay[]
The only Phoenix Bay you should ever consider fielding is the Frun'chek Phoenix Bay with a ShipVariants mod. They'll unleash a blistering bombardment of Radar Missiles then settle behind you firing Railguns very effectively.
Outfit[]
Phoenix Bay on an Aurora Carrier
"Phoenix bays are noisy, smelly and generally fairly grimy. If you can put up with this, you'll have some serious mobile firepower at your disposal, as the bay is capable of housing up to three of these vicious little fighters."
The Phoenix Bay is a weapon that uses Phoenixes as ammunition. You must have completed part of the Heraan Storyline to purchase these outfits.
Phoenix and an Aurora Carrier
"The Phoenix is yet another example of the Auroran will to survive. The Phoenix is slow and turns badly. One would think that it would be target practice for enemy pilots. It is, but it has one redeeming feature: it has almost as good armor plating as a Thunderhead. They plough through fire corridors with impunity, and attack in groups to maximize firepower. The Phoenix can wear a missile from an Anaconda, but a Viper will stay on its tail and pound it mercilessly. Suffice to say that Phoenix pilots suffer the greatest rate of attrition of any group in the Auroran armed forces."
A maxxed out load of Phoenixes will set you back 450k.
