STRENGTHS:

• Stealthy: While visible to the naked eye against a lighter background, the stealth polymer makes it almost impossible to detect via scanners.
• Well armed: With laser cannons and ordnance the ship is capable of multiple roles.
• Fast: It has a fast hyperdrive and powerful engines making it capable of getting where it needs to be.

WEAKNESSES:

• Imperfect stealth: It is quite visible to the naked eye as a dark matte black craft making it much less stealthy during short range in atmosphere engagement.
• Optimal crew: The missile pods are designed to be operated by a secondary crew member meaning if noone is in the gunner's seat the ship loses combat performance as the pilot has to fly and control the direct energy weapons. The ordnance HUD can be brought up on the pilot panel but replaces the laser cannon and Ion Cannon displays.
• Cosy: It is not a big ship, both seats slide back and recline horizontally but that is the limit of "bed space"

Description:

This ship is based on the much older X-29 gunship and performs a similar role being an effective ground support aircraft as well as being a flexible heavy dogfighter. It is very stealthy and against the dark of space it is functionally invisible allowing it to get in close before it engages.

It has made for two crew but basic flight can be done with no crew using AI commands. There is room for 2 passengers in the main compartment but standing room only.

Very cool ship!

• You forgot to add the permissions to the template, please edit this.
• And these fields are not in the pre-made template, but still part of the template, I would like to ask you to add these to your sub:
  

  • Length: (Via Metric System. Max: 50 meters. Examples: X-wing: 12.5 meters, Y-wing: 16 meters, Millenium Falcon: 34.7 meters, Slave I: 21.5 meters)
  • Width: (Via Metric System. Max: 50 meters. Examples: Y-wing: 2.9 meters, Millenium Falcon: 25.61 meters, Slave I: 21.3 meters)
  • Height: (Via Metric System. Max: 50 meters. Examples: Y-wing: 7.9 meters, Millenium Falcon: 8.27 meters, Slave I: 7.8 meters)

  Squadron Count: (Please provide the amount of fighters this submission would have in a squadron. The average squadron for any starfighter is 12, at lengths averaging 12.5 meters. The bigger the fighter, the smaller your Squadron Count should be. The smaller the fighter, the bigger your Squadron count can be. [None: 1 | Very Low: 4 | Low: 8 | Average: 12 | High: 16 | Very High: 20 | Extreme: 24 ] Squadron Sizes may be listed as just the rating.)

  Hyperdrive: (Does this ship have a hyperdrive? If this ship has a hyperdrive how fast is it? The lower the number, the faster the ship is, you may choose decimals. Any speed below 1.0 requires the hyperdrive to be added to the ship’s strengths and accordingly balanced with weaknesses. Links: Hyperdrive, Hyperdrive Comparisons)
