RE: Tu-99 Torpedo Assault Bomber
Comrades, attached
below is the finished prototype for the Tu-99 Assault Bomber. With a
payload possible of six hot-load torpedoes and hardpoints for eight more
external launch style, we at the Advanced Research Dept believe that this
will present a serious threat and counterbalance to the recent launch of the
Vanguard.

That is really cool looking. I am really curious though, why do you call
somthing that big a “fighter.” I mean almost everyone one here in .space
makes these relatively huge craft and calls them “fighters.” Maybe I am just
being silly but I would have called that a heavy torpedo boat or light
torpedo corvette. Maybe calling it a “fighter” fits with the PCS and EB
design scheme better or something that I missed somewhere. Well either way,
it definately looks like it can deal out some serious damage and is a really
cool looking MOC. I particularly like the “train wagaon fence” part used as
greeblage.

I think Rick calls it a bomber, which is inherently larger than a fighter.
And I think it’s way to small to be a light corvette. Torpedo boat is doable.
