Heavy Fighter

Heavy Fighter

In the further development of the Light Fighter, researchers reached a point at which the conventional drive no longer provided sufficient performance. In order to move the new ship optimally, the impulse drive was used for the first time. This increased costs, but also opened up new possibilities. Using this drive left more energy available for weapons and shields, and furthermore, higher-quality materials were used for this new class of fighter. This led to improved structural integrity and greater firepower, making it an immensely bigger threat in combat than its light counterpart. Through these changes, the Heavy Fighter represents a new era of ship technology, which forms the basis for cruiser technology.
