Notes:
- Clustered Fighter: Rays are always accompanied by seven Remoras which act as free-floating turrets (360°). The Remoras may not be targeted or act independently until after the Ray has been destroyed.
Description: The Remora/Ray Node Cluster is an entirely different type of Alien swarm ship. A Ray Node ship is surrounded by up to seven unpiloted Remora drones.
Each tiny Remora carries one Light Burst Maser and provides additional firepower for the Ray Node that supplies its power. Power is transferred remotely, with no need for physical contact. Think of the Remoras as free-flying turrets.
You cannot target the individual Remoras while the Ray Node is alive. However, once you've killed the node ship, the individual Remoras will attack you in a swarm. You will then be able to target htem individually and pick them off one by one.
