118 Industries Falcon Class Heavy Fighter

    118 Industries Falcon Class Heavy Fighter Mk1

    Great looks, nice interiors, and a turret! Yay! I don't know what makes the difference between 4 and 5 star fighters.. But maybe I was hoping for a bit more for weapons, especially if it's meant to act as a heavy fighter.

    I tested weapons against QC Cargo containers and several ships of different sizes, and felt like Falcon was doing a fairly okay job against ships of similar size, but couldn't damage anything even slightly bigger if the target had shields. It's clear that Falcon stands out as a fighter class though - similar sized shuttle ships will not stand a chance against Falcons arms.

    When testing the defensive capabilities against military-grade corvettes, Falcon showed promise in not exploding immediately. Combining the armors and shields with a good stable radar jammer, pilots will appreciate the slight increase in survival chance.

    Overall, it does fill the requirements to be classified as a fighter, but it's weapons might be a bit too underpowered for filling the role of a heavy fighter, and it sacrifices crucial evasive speed for defensive capabilities that are probably not quite enough for survival in real conditions.

    Thanks! Great review! As mentioned I'm still learning quite a lot of the new mechanics such as weapons linking to make different variants and such so I wasn't too sure, I guess I should grab some other heavy fighters and check out their weapons and such for comparison. I'm sure I can release a mk2 variant with more firepower =D
