Thanks!
Hmm...now that I think of it, most fighters are on the large side. I was
thinking that it was 'light' because its small compared to those. I still
plan on designing larger fighters up to gunboats for heavier assaults. As
size of a fighter increases, so does firepower, but does manuverability
decrease? I would assume so because of mass and inertia. How do fighter
designers rationalize/compensate for the apparent loss in manuverability?
I have some teeny fighters too on Zacktron, the TSF-1 Revoker and the I-10
Eaglet. They're pretty durn small compared to even this one, and especially
some of the others I've seen come out of here.
