	When stationed on the Psamtik during the main FreeSpace 2 campaign, do your wingmates a huge favor and make them fly this craft over the paper-thin Serapis. Load them up with Prometheus S cannons and full banks of Tornado missiles, and watch them vaporize enemy craft. You'll thank yourself in every mission.}}		When stationed on the Psamtik during the main FreeSpace 2 campaign, do your wingmates a huge favor and make them fly this craft over the paper-thin Serapis.

			Essentially combines the six guns of the original Hercules with even larger missile bays than the Hercules Mark II. To put this into perspective, one Tauret can carry the equivalent in missiles to '''two''' Osiris bombers. Easily the best Vasudan fighter to have ever been made in canon - no reason to ever use the Harpoon over the Tornado in this.}}

Qent: /* Veteran Comments */ That was false; recharge is directly proportional to $Max Weapon Eng, and $Power Output is ignored.

	''The Tauret is let down by its primary energy supply. Its ~~recharge is respectable, the same as either Hercules' and greater than the Myrmidon's even if only a little more than half that of the exceptional Ares. However, its~~ energy reserves are scarcely more than half ~~that~~ of the ~~Hercs~~ or Ares and two thirds ~~that~~ of the ~~Myrm~~. This is a common weakness of Vasudan craft and limits their ability in extended engagements.''		''The Tauret is let down by its primary energy supply.

	''While getting high marks for heavy missile load and numerous guns, bear in mind that this fighter's guns are grouped rather oddly. The guns are placed on opposite sides of the ships front, making hitting a fighter with all six rather difficult. Against most bombers and heavy fighters this is not really an issue, but against fighters with thin target profiles (such as the Astaroth or the Taurvii) this can be a major handicap.}}		''While getting high marks for heavy missile load and numerous guns, bear in mind that this fighter's guns are grouped rather oddly.

	''The second primary bank's guns are set in very tightly-grouped pairs, so close together that I had to move to an external view before I even realized that the ship had four guns in that bank. This does give it a much smaller field of fire than a ship where the quad guns are spread apart but makes it more likely that all four shots will hit if you are on target.
