Seems like a thematic successor to a CloakShape -- designed to be customized. To limit people using overpowered customized versions of this fighter (which is otherwise a very good and general design -- it takes work to look this vanilla), I'd be more comfortable if you put more detail into how many hardpoints it has, and what exactly each hardpoint can carry (missile pod, double-cannon pod, etc).

Thanks. I don't know what a CloakShape is.

Hardpoints have now been numbered and categorized by weapon type.

 

[Ashin Varanin]

Thanks for getting right on that. One more question, just for the sake of clarity:

Sublight Speed and Maneuverability: 1

Care to elaborate?

I would be happy to. Simply put, I desire to competitive. My logic was: (And feel to jump in here) ...The Republic General Use Starfighter GN-Throne receives the same rating. However, I felt I shouldn't be able to compete in firepower. So I lost 2 cannons. And given my understanding of how deflector shields work, atmospheric resistance is not affected by external weapons load. Only shield surface area. Thus, the loss of speed in-atmo between weapon swaps was negligible. ...Sadly. My Star Wars logic ends here.

Looks like you've thought everything out very thoroughly. In fact, I may buy one of these. Approved, and happy trails.
