XQ3 Platform

The XQ3 Platform was another improvement of the XQ1 Platform.

Characteristics
These stations were installed in areas with still heavier commerce than an XQ2 Platform could handle by itself. They could dock with medium-size vessels and perform various other tasks. They also recieved another armament upgrade; it consisted of six dual turbolaser batteries and six laser cannons. Optionally, they could be fitted with an anti-warhead defense system (the station launches its own missiles to intercept incoming warheads).
