dunno, think its just slang i picked up.

you shoudl add that then. either x or y can be active at once. a easy starship gunnery roll can switch active weapons type thing.

This could go in Ships and Equipment, but I wanted it critiiqued from a GM's view so here goes (now with fluff):

This is the most current, main space fighter, of the Zanlaunian Armed Forces: The design is based on the (mostly) intact carcasses of a number of and Koensayr BTL-S3 and BTL-A4 "Long Probe" Y-Wing fighters salvaged by the Squibs and sold to the Zanlites. The Zanlite starship manufacterer, Kurn-Grimms, Ironed out what they considered flaws in the original Koensayr design (particularly in the Speed and Maneuverability departments), and replaced the weaponry and power core with Zanlite manufactured weapons that didn't required short supplies of Blaster Gas, and a powerful Zanlite designed power core. They also, as well, added "Combat Particle Shielding" (a patented feature in Zanlite ship manufacture): an second outer layer of particle sheilds necessitated by Zanlite preferance for using Particle Beamers and Mass Drivers in starship combat (considered antiquated elsewhere, but have been HIGHLY advanced and refined in Zanlite Space). The Zanlites kept the simple and easy to learn control layout of the Koensayr original specs as well as the long range and internal nave computer of the Long Probe variant with a astromech droid: typhically a Utili-Mech AR-39 Series Droid (Based on Industrial Automation's R-Series Astro-Droids) that can be progrgrammed with 15 hyperspace jumps. The Design is Not a interceptor and not a bomber, but a Fighter-Bomber designed for numerous roles in combat. The Design was named the "Gun Griffin" in the honor of the Gyr Griffin, a a hardy, fierce and majestic (and very loyal and trustworthy) domesticated flying war-mount used by the Yoo' Chokk a fierce near-human race encountered by the Zanlites, and has since carried by the Zanlites to many inhabitable worlds in Zanlite Space. It is a capable and very durable fighter craft. Note: Edited it some more.

Still looks a little high for what it is. Even with the inc cost (though not much).. IMO with having both a nav comp AND a back up hyperdrive more potent than anything else listed (iirc the best i have seen in any printed book was X8) there would not be enough room to put in a power core for all that shielding, and weaponry... Also concussion missiles are 8d, while proton torps are 9d.. these concussion torps being at 8d+2 are almost as potent as protons.....

Overall it seems to munchinny for a race who has (from what i remember of your write up) been kept out of galactic affairs for a while... Even the Yeveth did not have this level of tech improvement, and they had years upon years of examining imperial tech.

personally i would bring the hyperdrive down to x1.5 and the backup at like x8 (if you must keep it. i would drop it all together.) drop the man down to 2D and the space down to 6. maybe drop one of the cannons as well.

i know what you are getting at its just in my mind, things with that much power and bulk wont be able to move around as fast. epically in such a small frame.....

that is true. big fighter, small freighter.

I think if you made it an attack freighter (pulled it up to 20m, still starfighter scale) it would sit well in my stomac. more room for more power...
