NOTES:
MINI-Concussion Missiles:
Small concussion missiles that are set on a proximity fuse(usually four enemy fighters). Has lots of shrapnel in it, and is used when the Saber Assault Bomber/Space Superiority Fighter is being used against enemy fighters.
Description:
This fighter was originally designed to be used by the Cren, because due to their numerous arms and heads, they could use all the weapons at once, making it a very excellent fighter.
Later, it was decided that it would be better if more then one species could fly it. Therefore they put a droid brain in all the ships piloted by non-Cren, capable of letting another species sit on a command ship, controlling the craft. The droid brain receives signals via normal communications and also radionics communications.
It will be used in space and ground combat. When they are planned to be sent after a ground target, the payload will be a total of 6 Concussion Missiles and 20 Thermal Detonators. When they are sent out after capital ships, their payload will be a total of 10 Concussion Missiles. When sent out on anti-starfighter duty it will be 20 MINI-Concussion Missiles, or a combination of 10 MINI Concussion Missiles and 6 Concussion Missiles. They are so fast and manuverable that they can be sent out, one wing dedicated to bombing, and the other dedicated to anti-starfighter duties. If the situation arose and there wasn’t any starfighters, the second wing could also strafe the targets. The Saber Assault Bomber/Space Superiority Fighter can be sent into combat and expected to return intact.
Did as you wanted Lup, and I also edited the weapons down a bit(removed an ion cannon).
Kas:
Changed it so that I have two different projectile launchers, but there are no variables and no thermal detenators.(I hope that statisfies your requirements). I do want to note that Thermal Detenator Bomb Chutes are seen on the TIE Bomber, though they can be changed to concussion missile launchers, or proton grenade launchers.
Removed the Turrets.
Edited speed and DPF changes.

bump.

Thank you.
#33 8:17am 25/02/04
Mmmph.
Approved.
#32 5:39am 22/02/04
reduced to 150 DPF.
#31 8:10am 20/02/04
Probably a little bit more than that, because this is a damn huge fighter.
#30 4:42am 17/02/04
So you want me to reduce manuverability to 155 DPF or something?
#29 2:25am 16/02/04
You are.

It's 4m at the center of the wing, including the bubble cockpit. At the tip it is very narrow, then it widens out, then it narrows again. And I'd think most fighters at the tallest point are about 4m(though I could be wrong).
#27 7:38pm 14/02/04
Isn't very tall?
IMO 4m is @#%$ tall for a fighter.
And no, it does not have a small cross section. Its dimensions contradict that statement.
#26 2:57am 14/02/04
Well it was designed to be very aerodynamic(before the guns were added) and it isn't very long or tall. As well there is no friction in space, and it has a small cross-section.
#25 7:00pm 13/02/04
Wider tends to lend to being more maneuverable and stable. Turning thrusters are spaced further apart, etc.
#24 6:56am 13/02/04
Ah, good point. Right you are.
One last thing. Maneuverability. I really don't think a 10m across bomber, or fighter for that matter, is going to be THAT maneuverable.
#23 1:48am 13/02/04
Not really, because the only extra power I was adding was power from weapons and shields. Since I removed the power from shields, then I would have to cut the fleeing power in half(like I did).
#22 3:52am 12/02/04
Or logically, you could reduce the boost by one third, rather than however much you did, because that makes sense.
