    SV class Star Fighter

    Definition of star Fighter class a maxed speed, armor, and fire power. Storage is low priority, as this level of the game you should have a cv brought in for the looting anyways. Warp drive is of low priority, you can use warp drive but do not let it cause you to compromise on any of 3 important factors of maxed speed, armor, and fire power. Also must of the equipment to support internal poi assault by player

    Weight and vol + cpu compliant

    No hidden thrusters-hint all zerog challenges will have this restriction

    Cpu limit t4

    Lvl 25

    Earlier in the month, I posted my new gunship/assault fighter for the challenge and hoped to get time to make a dedicated fighter as well which I have finally done :)

    SF4 - 'Banshee' heavy assault fighter.

    SX4 - Valkyrie heavy assault raider (from earlier post to the discord):

    The differences in function are:
    - Valkyrie is a long range warp capable fighter/raider with dual zone cabin, passenger seats, full life support and support facilities and cargo space for looting. It has 12 populated weapon mounts (pulse laser, plasma cannon and rocket launchers) and 6 mini gun turrets all round. It is constructed from hardened steel and has very high lift capacity (can comfortably carry a large tank type HV).
    - Banshee is more agile a short range fighter / assault vessel specifically for destruction of enemy defences. It has 16 weapon mounts with 12 populated and an empty turret mount. It has only a standard cockpit and and ammo storage with no additional support facilities and is expected to operate from a nearby CV. It is constructed with a steel exterior to reduce mass.

    The Banshee is more agile for turning however the Valkyrie is more agile for lateral movement due to having considerably more thrust vs mass in all directions especially sideways.

    (What is kind of sad is that the late game 7M CPU T4 combat CV in the background is almost as agile as both of these fighters...).
