Description: A simple upgrade on the original Droid Tri-fighter to bring a strong model up to date with Galactic technology. Removing the droid pilot and instead simply installing a droid brain into the fighter itself and installing sets of both photo-receptors and composite radiation sensors on each droid to allow it to 'see' in nearly all spectrums and directions.

The three laser cannons the ship has are all mounted on slides as the original model allowing the droid brain greater control over each cannon, and possible individual targeting. The fourth and central cannon however has been replaced with an ion cannon, in hopes that the enemy can be neutralized by the ion cannon rather then destroyed. As such they are still equipped with the buzz droid missiles which have been programmed to disable a ship rather then destroy it, though if ordered they can just as easily destroy life support systems as engines. The largest upgrade made to the fighter is networking their targeting systems, thereby passing information instantaneously between units via an encrypted short range network instead of slaving them into a large control ship.

The Tri-fighter's three engine system is still in use allowing it continued agility to match it's power, and while it still can't match the speed of an Interceptor it can now compete with present day fighter's due to an upgraded power source and engines.

Alright, this looks good. Just a few things, though.

I understand that the Wookieepedia sub probably listed the light/medium weapons, but we don't recognize those classes as per the guide. So, I hate to ask this, but could you swap them to standard laser cannons and ion cannon, please?

As for the missiles, the stats check out, but the description mentions buzz droids. I'm assuming that those function equivalently to standard concussion missile warheads?

No worries - we were going off the original sub.

How's that?

I was referring to the section on Buzz Droids in the description. I was inferring that they carried discord missiles. Is this correct?

Sorry complete confusion on my part there with regards to what you were asking. Yes, it is.

No worries. Spoke with the Starship judges on Discord Missiles. We figure they're a 1:1 equivalent so you're good to go. Approved pending secondary.

Sorry, one last thing. Could you edit your description a bit for me? It sounds like there are 3 guns per wingtip when you mean 1 gun per wingtip for a total of 3.
