    We at RevCorp specialize in constructing ships and stations in any size. We are a small company of one man (Revan9190), so ships as of current are relatively small size. Our current project is a line of fighters and interceptors. As a gift to Jacemachine of intergalactic YouTube fame, RevCorp is gifting him, and the whole of Weyland-Yutani, the first prototype of our upcoming FGHTR-22b! It is a space superiority interceptor in response to the Isanth-type ships deployed by numerous pirate factions. At first glance, it looks like a gunship, but we assure you that it is a fighter. Right now our engineers are tweaking the weapons systems and then it should be ready to fly! Duly note that this is the first project of many. There are likely to be some performance issues with the first prototype, and if detected, will certainly be corrected! We at RevCorp wish only to present you with the highest quality of products!

    The underside of the craft is still under construction. Just a couple of more systems to install before our shakedown run! I hope so far that you all like what you see! If not, that's quite alright. Thanks for your time anyways!

    Armed with: 1x Cannon
    2x Missile Pods (linked to a single missile computer)
    1x Cloaker

    (Out of character note: I was initially inspired by both the F-22 Raptor and F-35b Joint Strike Fighter for the main 'fuselage'. The missile pods were inspired by the Raptor from Battlestar Galactica Reimagined. The rear "thruster-pods" were inspired by the capital ships from Starship Troopers. I have to fix the missiles and the cannon. The reload time for the missiles is awful. Kind of want to make them swarm rockets, to be honest.)

    I hope you guys like this. I don't feel I'm a very good builder at all. It's my second "proper ship", but my first in a 'creative mode', and I put a lot of time into it thus far with periodic breaks. I've had StarMade since '13 but only played a few times, but not all that properly. And I haven't played Multiplayer yet.

    Anyways, I was thinking of scaling up to at least frigate sized vessels. I just need to put on some finishing details and it'll be ready for 'deployment'. It probably won't fare too well considering there's no shields and it's not really meant to attack stations at all. I could add shields, but for this version, it won't. It's probably suicidal to pilot one of these against pilots, but if you have enough good piloting skills, I'm hoping that the maneuverability makes up for a lack of protective features, if I can nail down the maneuvering of this sucker. The reason I called it FGHTR-22b is because Jacemachine called his build in a recent video FGHTR-15, so I thought it'd be nice to keep the designation since I'm offering it to him first (and his builds inspired me to get into building ships). Also combining the '22' from Raptor and the 'b' from the JSF. Call it what you will. Enjoy!

    Looks nice! I don't recognize those textures though, are you using a custom pack?

    Oh yes, forgot to mention I'm using Dirty Space texture pack. :) Thanks for the comment.

    I fixed the cannon (it fires rapidly now) and the missiles are now swarm. I added a few more small details and now I would consider it complete and ready for deployment!
