This is a fast, effective, Light Frigate. The Fire-Class can obliterate a squadron of starfighters, or, along with many counterparts, go up against a larger, heavier cruiser.
Its 2 TIE Devil Squadrons and 1 TIE Devastator Squadron can be used for reconnaissance, or battle engagements, while providing a long-range amount of punch, in addition to the Fire's own turbolasers. Fire Frigate Commanders can expect this ship to be able to go up against a Dreadnaught and several starfighter squadrons, and emerge victorious.

Eh... doesn't that kind of make building ships by length pointless? Not to be an ass or anything, but length (and by definition, build time) generally lead to allowable power.
If I recall correctly, Vinda's Enveloper R&D was only 3000 meters, but because it was circular, the build time was 17 days. Now, that is up for reevaluation, but if we're going to be building spherical ships, shouldn't a restriction be put on their build time, as they shape allows for so much additional power?

Note the name, Attack [i]Sphere[/i]. The volume would be greater than most box ships.

I would raise a concern about the Attack Sphere... shorter by 600 meters than my own Starblazer, but it carries 19 sqaudrons more (and Devils are bigger than SAS', too!), and a lot more guns...
Excuse me if I believe a change should be made...

You could have saved yourself some trouble, and me in the process, by checking the one I looked over and put up on the approval list.

(As a note, I'm pleased to see the staff not just exempting themselves from Kanbal's R&D review. Commendable.)
