Check out the "Stargeist" in the U.E.S.F. starfighters section, the "Banshee" and the "Helios" in the new Venusian Colonial Fighters section, and the "Sauron" in the Vedraan Starfighters section. I've also added new mechs as well- the "Mandrill" in (...) (25 years ago, 28-Mar-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)

<SOAPBOX>Generally (as I understand it at least), an assault is a direct confrontation, usually from the front. With a prepared defender, losses to the attacking forces can be frighteningly high.
