A small unique design of scout drone that is jump capable (36 second charge) with dual continuously firing forward-facing pulsar beams.
Equipped with a radar jammer, you can continuously fire the pulsar for 25 seconds with jammer engaged before power fails. Will slowly charge batteries with radar jammer engaged if not firing weapon.
Ship Core is located in behind the front camera in a small open cockpit cove (pilot straps themselves in while exposed to space but shielded by the rest of the structure).
Space used for the jump drive means that the weapons are weaker than a similar sized fighter, so it's much more useful as a scout or a raider, taking advantage of it's jump drive to strike at poorly defended outlying infrastructure.

Folding wings are certainly possible, except that the angle I have them on is in fact a turret mounting point, and manually controlled to an angle other than 45 degrees... it's about 30 degrees.
Turret angles can't be controlled by logic, so it would be an inconvenient process to fold these wings out and in... I went for an aesthetic and different angle rather than an adjustable angle. This is something I've done on a few of my builds... it breaks up the boxiness of builds, especially on large scales, when you can get away from the 0, 45, 90 degree angles of everything.
Turrets on the sides would indeed be pretty neat, but I avoided any additional unecessary weight to increase the jump drive recharge rate. It would be a very easy thing to place a turret mount on the sides and plop a small (Aegis class for example) turret on either side - almost no work at all. Worth considering for any player that would prefer firepower over jump drive recharge rate.
