///// Description \\\\\

Designed as an on-board fightercraft for HDY's newest generation of capital ships, the Rifter is built to offer comparable performance to an ordinary fighter on a smaller, more compct frame better suited to hangar storage.

Initially, the decision to build a new fightercraft to act alongside the Scythe mk II was made after it turned out that a calculation error made during the design of the Myoko Heavy Cruiser prevented the effective storage of Scythe mk II Interceptors on board the ship. Modifying the hangar bay to accomodate the larger fighter proved impossible, and so the only feasable solution was to come up with a new fightercraft.

The Rifter fills a comparable role as the older Peakaboo Snub Fighter, but does not sacrifice as much performance. The ship is currently undergoing final trial runs and is expected to enter service within the coming month.

Although all my builds feature full conveyor connections and all or most necessities for a successful survival experience, I recommend against their use in survival playthroughs. This is because the ships are designed to fill a certain role in a fleet, and might need other ships as support. Hydrogen thrusters could aslo prove to have a cripplingly high ressource consumption. Conveyoring is installed more for balance reasons than anything else.
