Hmm. See, after looking at the ship dimensions I had considered doing a Fury as it\'s bigger (thus allowing for more dakka), but the smallest pattern of Fury is 40m long and looks to have a wingspan of something like 24-32m, which would make it turn rather slowly in StarMade and thus be unsuitable for a Fighter/Interceptor, and would also probably just be a bit too big for the bays.
The problem with Lightning and Thunderbolt fighters is both that they\'re atmospheric fighters and that they\'re smaller, which makes it difficult to make a decent lookalike without scaling up, which would almost certainly end up making them too big for the bays. Eh, whatever. I\'ll start prototyping a Thunderbolt and a Fury and see how they turn out first.

So yeah, not too good on the outside and its weapons aren\'t very strong. I know the wings are off but seeing as how the thing was a failure in terms of combat capability at 1:1 scale it\'s not worth fixing. Gonna try the Fury next.
