Though it has performed well in exercises, the ''Shiva''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s critics have seized on the design's weak armor for its size, only carrying 10 tons of [[Andurien Composite 3]] [[ferro-aluminum]] armor, though the 18 [[double heat sink]]s mounted on the base chassis has attracted praise. Originally intended as the League's principal carrier aircraft, the complex logistics required to supply the ''Shiva'' with pod-compatible weapons has limited its effectiveness in that role.<ref name=TRO3067-154-155/> ==Weapons and Equipment== The Primary configuration features a short-range combat loadout consisting of a balance of energy and ammunition dependent weaponry. A large [[LB 20-X AC]], [[SRM-6]], and [[ER small laser]] crowd the nose mounts, with twin [[large pulse laser]]s mounted in each wing, and three additional [[double heat sink]]s added to keep the extra heat in check.<ref name=TRO3067-154-155/> ==Alternate Configurations== *; Alternate Configuration A : The A configuration again mounts a mix of energy and ammunition hungry weapons, this time focused on longer ranges. An [[Artemis IV FCS]]-enhanced [[LRM-10]] and [[ER small laser]] are mounted in the nose, supported by the [[ER large laser]] and [[Gauss rifle]] mounted in each wing. Two tons of missile reloads and four of Gauss rounds keep those weapons in operation during the length of a standard sortie.

Four tons of reloads keep the Gauss rifles fed while four additional [[double heat sink]]s strive to keep the PPCs and lasers in check.

A single [[medium variable speed pulse laser]] covers the aft arc, and a [[Guardian ECM suite]] provides electronic warfare support.
