5) Wing Hard Points (2)  The latest upgrade to the Alpha is the wing hard points which allow it to be deadlier, whether adding more for large scale operations or the medium range to close the distance before engagement.  The pilots are thrilled to have them. However the missiles must be fired before the Alpha can transform into Guardian or battloid mode.

6) Electronic Warfare pods (4):</b.>The VF/A-7R has a total of four EW pods, and up to six more can be carried. Two are located in each shoulder, and two more are located under the intake/chest. Each pod houses a single continual wave transmitter that can be focused onto one target. This allows the pilot and EWO to jam up to four targets. An exciter adjusts the composition of the jamming signal depending on what type of sensor is being targeted. Each transmitter is linked to the CPU of the Alpha, allowing the pilot and EWO direct control over each pod. Making full use of the VEA-6R’s electronic attack capability requires the Advanced Electronic warfare skill. If the skill is not possessed them the ECM skill can be used at -15%. If neither the AEW or ECM skills are possessed then RSE can be used at -40%. VFE-6R’s are usually crewed by dedicated Electronic warfare specialists.

In game terms a successful skill roll means a specific system (Communications, radar, optics, targeting, Protoculture sensors, magnetic sensing systems etc) is jammed for 2d6 melees. The target can be up to 150 miles away. If one system is jammed then the target’s combat bonuses are reduced by 25% and one attack is lost as they try to compensate for the loss. Two systems jammed reduced bonuses by 50% and target loses two attacks. Three or more systems jammed eliminates all combat bonuses, reduced the targets attacks by half, and the pilot is reduced to only visual aiming of all weapons and can only fight what they can see with the naked eye.

<b>7) Sensor spoofers: Within the nose of the VF/A-7R are several sensor spoofers that disrupt the input from advanced optical sensors such as thermal imagers, passive night vision and even the Protoculture optics of Invid mecha. Range of these systems are reduced by 50% and the operators suffer a -35% on their RSI skill to interpret data provided by the sensors. The sensor spoofers replace the LWS-12 nose lasers.
Range: 4,000 feet (1,219 m)

8) Head mounted reconnaissance system: The head/sensor unit of VF/A-7R is both cosmetically and internally different than that of the other Alpha veritechs.  An AN/DAS-7 MTS-E Multi-Spectral Targeting System (MSTS) is mounted in a gimbal. This gimbal is located on the right shoulder of the veritech in battloid and guardian modes. In jet mode the gimbal is located underneath the cockpit. The MSTS has a tactical reconnaissance digital camera that has a range of 150 miles, and has a resolution that can read a milk carton up to ten miles away. Still images and video can be filtered through and viewed in several spectrums. These images can be displayed on the pilot’s and or EWO’s multifunctional displays. They can also be linked up to a capital warship VFA-6H, or VEB-12E for further link up to other UEEF craft and mecha.  The MMDS-8 missile delivery system is not present in the head unit of the VEA-6R.
Range: 150 miles, high resolution up to ten miles away.
