Angel, Experimental Biomechanical Fighter

My second, yet way better model, resembling a mix of anime, science fiction and my own mind.

Codename: Angel
Origin: Unknown
Creator: Unknown
Hardpoint: 1x Class 10 weapon, 2x Class 9 weapon.

I already began working on the physics for this beauty, it will include a big weapon on the front of the ship which you will hear more about later.

She looks nice, but only 3 gun hardpoints? That's not much......

Nice one

as for the 3 hardpoints: great too, actualy a ship that isnt a star destroyer. The fighter and game balance would just win with gun hardpoints being like in the old privateer or wc games, 2 guns max for light fighets, 4 for heavy fighters... right now we have vhf with 8 guns and they have like no energy drain. I can take out capital ships with few shots, thats riduculous, we are flying FIGHTERS not cruisers and even when its a heavy fighter, it shouldnt be kiling a capital ship with few ships without using torpedoes....

Actually technically it doesn't have a limit of 3 weapons.. it's going to have 4. It's got the three standard Hardpoints (1 grade 10, and 2 grade 9's), yes.

But as stated by the ship creator, it will also have a built in weapon on the nose of the ship.. which I expect to be semi-spectacular. I hope it's no a "Star Destroyer Beam Cannon" or something equally as overdone.

I agree with the above poster. 8 grade 9+ weapon mounts on any standard ship, even if it IS a very heavy fighter... is just a tad much. Especially considering how much energy a VHF puts out for weapons fire, as well as the uber-shielding they end up having.

I'd relish some fancy designed "Standard Fighters " or "Light Fighters" that only had 3 or 4 hard points... but other perks. But maybe that's just me.

I think the same way as you do. All I want is a pretty fighter, not something that looks like a overpowered flying stone.

VERY nice, i would liketo add to my server when complete
looks more like a light or medium fighter tho
with lighter weapons looks like it would make a great interceptor

The infinite reaches of space are my home. And you'r trespassing.

Kudos! Its nice to see new development projects that aren't adding capital ship turrets to light fighters

As I play the game more I get distressed at the lack of piloting/gunnery skill needed. Basically you just lay down streams of fire and hope your generator doesn't cack out. NPCs are even worse with infinite power.
