Overview:
    It's rare for a configuration to be deemed so "meh" that it is actually removed from
    official listing and replaced.  But that is the fate of the original Sun Crusher C.  In its
    place there is now a rather generic heavy energy  direct fire support
    anti-air configuration.

Capabilities:
    This configuration of the Sun Crusher dedicates itself to basic air defense.  Though not
    capable of substantial damage, conventional wisdom dictates that any hit at all can
    potentially crash a fighter.  The active probe allows the Sun Crusher accurate targeting
    even if the offending fighter is playing games with electronic warfare.

Variants:
    Originally the C configuration was supposed to have 8 MML-3s and a Light PPC.  Given the
    similarity to the B configuration this wasn't distinct enough to warrant its own
    configurstion and was thus scrapped.
    
    The next idea was a twin Snub Nosed PPC configuration.  Once again comparisons were made to
    the A configuration.  Admittedly the inclusion of PPC capacitors did change the mission
    profile substantially, but not enough to stand out.
    
    Idea number three was an ERPPC with Rotary autocannon.  Testing was promising.  The role was
    similar to the A's but the extra range of the PPC gave it a secondary role in air-defense.
    This prompted the replacement of the RAC with an LBx cannon.  This was perfectly workable
    and perhaps a better design.  But word came from command to cement the air defense roll and
    make sure the effects of Flak were felt.
