Flaktar

Flaktar are a kind of alien found in the Middle Maps. They are of medium strength. They are a very fast kind of alien that shoots red lasers, doing 3000-4500 damage per second. What is interesting about Flaktar is that about every ten seconds it shoots a triad of missiles doing about 6000 damage. A Phoenix, Yamato, Defcom, or Liberator could easily be destroyed by a Flaktar, but a sub-elite Piranha is capable of beating a Flaktar. Be warned that because of a Flaktar's speed, you should not engage one at low health because you will not be able to escape it unless you have a very fast ship.
