It is suposed to be a cheap, tho effective export craft.
Tho now that you mention it, I think I might up the gun by a couple orders of magnitude - 3-5, maybe. Make it a threat to lighter capital craft.
I could easily upgrade the drive specs, but 650gees seemed like plenty, and 720deg/sec is probally as high as you can plausibly control without massivly enhanced reflexes.
Eh, think I'll notch things up for the -A varrient.
Ok, I added a -B varrient, updated the sizes to the proper ones, and revised ammunition yeilds(note that it's very easy to spend several times the fighter's cost in ammunition).
Here are the ORIGINALs, for refference.
Plasma Hammer Ammunition(stated yeilds are effective forward output, not net):
0.1 Kiloton Bi-Focal Presurised Plasma Bomb Ammo
-$300 USD each
0.25 Kiloton Bi-Focal Presurised Plasma Bomb Ammo
-$750 USD each
1 Kiloton Bi-Focal Fusion Bomb Ammo
-$1'500 USD each
2.5 Kiloton Bi-Focal Fusion Bomb Ammo
-$3'000 USD each
5 Kiloton Bi-Focal Matter-Energy Conversion Bomb Ammo
-$7'500 USD each
10 Kiloton Bi-Focal Matter-Energy Conversion Bomb Ammo
-12'500 USD each
There are three different varrients of fighter listed; you might like to specify.
You'll also need augmented pilots or really good AI units to take advantage of the -B's increased rate of turn, or even take full advantage of the other two's.
