@ImperialEevee

Now thats some interesting fighter! Coming in with style!

Comments regarding above sub:

1. Not a real comment but more like a suggestion to make this sexier.
Strengths:
A. "Alot of weapons". NICE. And you got the goodies listed! Hell yeah!
B. Small turning radius. That means the maneuverability is HIGH! NICE! Some interceptor concept right here!
C. Wide view from the cockpit.... Am i right to believe that this can hint to a weakness "no advanced electronics"? The ships is based on manual systems, thus making targeting harder and reducing their accuracy.

Weaknesses:
A. Adequate Armour. Which means..? xD Requires more clarification how thats a bad thing.
B. Low speed harder to evade missiles. I would stretch it to "generally" it is hard to conduct evasive maneuvers. So, from beams to missiles and from turbolaser barrages to ramming, its gonna be an issue.
C. Also, you need as many strengths as weaknesses. So gonna need one more weakness

Historical Info:
Once again, here too, how did the need arise for this design? Was it an original idea? Was it a blending of existing designs like imp and rep fighters? Or was it a development to a previous fighter?
If no active testing has gone down, how common are these fighters to the GRE? are they the new fashion or are they still contained due to the fact nobody knows if they are actually pulling their weight?
