So I decided to do a review on my friends Actis here so you can know what to expect once you have it in game.
So I have personally tested the ETA-2 Actis-class Jedi Starfighter and the Sylurie-45 Hyperspace Ring it uses for jumps. The ring takes approx. 14 seconds to fully charge from a dead state, and I believe it's set or can be set to draw thrust power from the starfighter. It has two clamps that clamp under the mandibles of the fighter once it's docked. A logic remote in the fighter rotates the clamps out of the way then undocks the starfighter from the ring. At this point you can drift down and fly through the lower half of the ring, Kenobi-style!
The fighter is very maneuverable, but does take some time to slow its momentum to a full stop. The thrust update, being a blessing, also added a problem when it comes to controlling a ship's speed like we could before the update. Thing's no longer "stop on a dime," so to speak. Regardless, the fighter easily meets the Faulken Standard of Starfighters with logic crammed in every place you can hide it. You got two twin laser cannons (mandibles and flight pod chin), logic cockpit hatch, logic S-Foils, logic landing gear, and a wireless block you must manually link from the starfighter to the ring. The wireless block can be accessed from the interior of the starfighter, and on the top of horizontal superstructure that the fighter docks to on the ring. Both wireless modules are in plain sight so it a cake walk.
I have already added a few upgrades of my own to it, since that is what I do, lol. TBH, it has everything I want in it, out of the box. I did add a dorsal docking rail on top of the flight pod just in case I need it, and I added a cargo system as well. One cargo box behind the flight pod where there is a solid grey block, and the cargo space is underneath behind the rail docker in another unused block space. It comes in really handy, and for RP purposes, it's the spare parts container Kenobi uses in Ep. III at the beginning.
Overall, one of his best, most fun, and and most accurate releases to date. I suggest to anyone that likes this ship to check out White's other builds.
