Carrying an [[ER medium laser]] to discourage pursuit from the rear, seven additional [[double heat sink]]s attempted to keep the two tons of reloads for the launchers from exploding.<ref name="TRO3085p116+"/> == Alternate Configurations == *; Alternate Configuration A : Intended to be equally effective as an aerospace superiority and ground attack fighter, the A configuration carried an [[ER PPC]] supported by two [[plasma rifle]]s in its nose. Three tons of reloads allow the ''Morgenstern'' A to maul even the heaviest opponents, while a single rear-mounted [[ER medium laser]] fends off attacks from behind. Eight extra [[double heat sink]]s strive to keep the heavy waste heat of its weapons in check.

Three tons of Gauss rifle reloads and a two-ton ammo bay for the MML-5 give the ''Morgenstern'' B reasonable endurance. BV (2.0) = 1,949<ref name="TRO3085p116+"/> *; Alternate Configuration C : The ''Hellcat'' configuration, the ''Morgenstern'' C mounted two paired [[ER large laser]]s and [[ER medium laser]]s in its nose, supported by a single [[large pulse laser]]. The remaining weaponry consists of two ER medium lasers in the wings, with two more mounted aft supported by a [[medium pulse laser]]. Even seven extra [[double heat sink]]s still forced pilots to rely on [[volley fire]] to avoid overheating. BV (2.0) = 1,816<ref name="TRO3085p116+"/> *; Alternate Configuration D : A missile-heavy support platform, the D configuration featured three [[Artemis IV]]-enhanced [[MML-7]]s, one in the nose and each wing, supported by [[ER large laser]]s and [[ER medium laser]]s also carried in the nose. With an ER medium and standard [[small laser]] mounted aft, the ''Morgenstern'' D carried four tons of missile reloads, a [[targeting computer]] and one additional [[double heat sink]]. BV (2.0) = 1,704<ref name="TRO3085p116+"/> *; Alternate Configuration E : This in [[Introduction Year::3134]]<ref name="MUL2"/> developed configuration carries a nose-mounted [[LRM-15]] with [[Artemis IV FCS]]. A [[large re-engineered laser]] is carried in each wing, and a single [[ER medium laser]] covers the rear of the craft. All the energy weapons are tied into a [[targeting computer]].
