"Bolt" Class Fighter

Description
An extremely fast, extremely agile fighter. Lightly armoured, as it is not meant to take damage, but instead move around it. It has 8 small gatling guns capable of tunneling into large ship light armour and small ships with relative ease. It can accelerate from 0 to 105.1 m/s in approximately ~4.5 seconds. Designed to do quick hit and run attacks against those pesky bombers or lightly armoured frigates. It has no landing gear, and is designed to be connected to an autolock landing pad. It needs to be manually loaded and refueled through a cargo container on the side, as a connector would raise the surface area and make the ship easier to hit, even if the difference is only minor. Gyroscopes are on 35% power to prevent wild spinning.

This is my best fighter to date. It implements Azimuth parts, Armor slopes, and armour thrusters. Although the world has Cathedral wings loaded, they are not in use.

Armament: ★★★★☆

The Bolt is a well-armed ship, sporting eight networked gatling cannons, all tightly grouped. While it has no launchers to speak of, their absence just serves to underline the Bolt's implicit purpose - interceptor and dogfighter...

Overall: 4 out of 5 ★.
