==Description:==

===FS2 Demo Tech Room Description===
Little is currently known about the Shivan Nahema class bomber. It appears to be very maneuverable and carries a large payload. The Nahema seems to be primarily designed as an anti-fighter escort, using it's large missile loads to devestate all but our heaviest fighters. Pilots engaged in a dogfight with the Nahema should be aware of its fighter-like speed.

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
Either the SB Nahema class is a new Shivan bomber design, or the Shivans are finally taking the GTVA seriously and bringing in their best ships. The Nahema is considered to be the Shivan's most dangerous bomber. It has demonstrated the ability to outrun virtually every fighter in the GTVA fleet. Its powerful laser banks and high-capacity missile bays make it a threat to combat craft of all types, as well as to capital ships.

===Veteran Comments===
''The Nahema is a true fighter-bomber, and it can give a Myrmidon a run for the GTVA fighter's money in a dogfight if it wants. It is also very fast, making it difficult to intercept before it closes to torpedo range and starts launching. These should be the number-two priority of an interceptor pilot, right after any Seraphim.''

''If you're wondering why the Sekhmet is such a good ship, this is why. The Sekhmet is based on this tough SOB. They're tough, fairly quick, maneuverable, and well-armed. The last commetator had it right. Get rid of these things ASAP. While a Seraphim carries more raw firepower, a Nahema is a threat to anything in the area from the size of an assault fighter on up.''

GVB Sekhmet

2006-05-02T16:38:37Z

Moonsword: /* Veteran Comments */ My two cents' worth.

==Description:==

===FS2 Tech Room Description===
The GVB Sekhmet is a Shivan design that was initially adapted to Vasudan needs by Hammer of Light engineers. The version currently in use was further modified by technicians at Mekhu Enterprises. Sporting four primary weapon banks and three missile/bomb bays, the Sekhmet packs a massive punch. Add in a top speed that surpasses that of some fighters and an ultra-dense molybdenum armor plating, and it's easy to see why the Sekhmet is the favorite bomber among Vasudan pilots.

===Developer Notes===

===Veteran Comments===
''The Sekhmet's four primary guns are mounted in a single bank, giving it a rate-of-fire advantage against just about anything, but also limiting its adaptiblity once commited to the field. Nevertheless, this is a potent bomber, and if only on a par with the Boanerges or Ursa in toughness, it manuvers better.''

''Considered by many to be THE BEST bomber in the game, while others prefer the [[Terran]] design philosophies of the [[GTB Medusa|Medusa]] and [[GTB Ursa|Ursa]].''

''I agree with the previous commentators. The Sekhmet is a capable enough dogfighter in some hands and is capable of going in unescorted if properly armed. The only major flaw (if you want to call it that) is the lack of a second primary bank, meaning that carrying disruptors or the Maxim is not the best idea you've ever had. However, the rate-of-fire advantage offsets this, givng the Sekhmet enough teeth to engage damn near anything and come out alive. The Vasudans would do quite well indeed to scrap every Osiris in existence and replace them with the equivalent tonnage of Sekhmets.''
