ASI "Dart" Light Fighter

Vanilla : Survival ready : Armed and Fuelled

The Dart is a short range, short endurance, light fighter designed to be built and deployed in bulk. It's light frame and narrow profile allows large numbers of them to be packed into any hangar space.

Because it is mostly guns and engines it is quite speedy, and with a good pilot can dodge a lot of incoming fire. But any good hits will tear large chunks out of it.

It is primarily designed for space, but it can fly in atmo no problem. It's just a question of shortening the operational flight time because of extra fuel consumption. If the bottom engines get shot out, it can fly on its side instead.

Main thrust is on the rear and sides. This is so it can strafe at high speeds as well as use its gyros to change direction quickly. If you need to stop suddenly just turn the ship sideways and/or face a different way and push forward.
