Aesthetics: ★★★★☆

The shape is simple and effective, with form clearly following function but not being overwhelmed by the latter, each part smoothly flowing into the next. I also like the livery quite a bit.

Systems: ★★★☆☆

A gyro ratio nearing 1:1k-kg give this fighter hair-trigger maneuverability, though the unequal placement of thrusters can still make executing a course change a bit cumbersome. There are also some issues with thruster damage from the placement of two maneuvering thrusters.

Armament: ★★☆☆☆

The fighter is heavily armed but the guns are not conveyed; fewer cannons with ammo storage may be more effective. As well, the placement of the launchers near the rear of the fuselage makes it dangerously prone to backfire accidents while maneuvering, one of which critically killed the ship.

Overall: out 3 of 5 ★.
