Look up the - Batavian Fighter .
its this ship with a Dutch improvement on it :D .
this Hybrid Rocks and i am happy Z3RO created it .
its fast its very good in turning it will run out like any other smol fighter there is !!!! .
there is just one thing you do not want to do with it !!! ??? .
that is getting infront of a other fighter cause he will shoot you to pieces within 10 second .

but the ships frame and size give you a chance to recreate fighter you do not want to meet out in battel .
so i am verry happy with this upload many thanks to Z3RO .
so if want to check out this Hybrids Big Bro a non Hybrid Monster .
then look up - Batavian Fighter .

The fact about using a battery together with the reactors is this... I tried both methods: reactor powered VS. Battery powered... both times it did not work out supplying enough energy in the peaks. once I combined reactors and a battery it was perfekt even at the peaks... I theory for this.... same as hybrid cars... for peak energy usages hybrid cars use the batteries, for example during accelleration...

This looks almost like my fighter I made XD
P.S.: Systems score raised to 4 out of 5, overall score 4 out of 5; it appears the overcharge was a result of the battery pulling large amounts of power while charging; the charging process completed while I was posting this review and its usage, while idle and maneuvering, evened out. Systems writeup will be re-assessed for Issue 2 of the TFR.
Aesthetics: ★★★★☆

True to its name the Slim Hybrid is a slim design, slightly thinner and shorter than the regular Keen Fighter. Despite working within this limited size, the Slim Hybrid doesn't skimp on shaped armor that accentuates its "rocket pill" shape.

Systems: ★★★☆☆

The points in its favor are that, despite its compact size, the fighter is fully conveyed, from connector to guns to reactors, and exposes none of these systems but the connector; the downside is that its reactors are currently inadequate to power the ship - even idling it sits at 180% usage. The ship includes a battery but in a survival situation this could still lead to complications. It might be further improved by replacing some of the 6x small thrusters with large thrusters.

Armament: ★★★★☆

The ship is armed with three gatling cannons, which are very well placed to avoid damaging the ship during hard turns and fully conveyed.

Overall: 3.7 out of 5 ★.
