    by the laws of physics and simple knowledge, there would be no small space fighters, because when reaching such a high speed to keep up with the rest of the fleet is 1) nearly impossible to fit into a small design (unless you master timelord physics), 2) turning would take forever to accomplish, there's no medium to create the lift or aerodynamics in space to do fast, on the fly turning (back to 2nd half of #1), 3) there's no way to slow down in space to make anything able to dock in a hangar (no medium for resistance) 4) a reliable payload that would fit into a small design is hard to do, while being a small 1-5 manned fighter is hard to do, 5) there is no existing suit to keep a living pilot alive while at sustained speeds of even a 1 000 000th of the speed of light, which is well over lethal speeds, and wouldn't be safe. 6) even if one used UAV tech, a single contained EMP blast or hit would bust all the electronics in the computer flying the fighter. #yougotserved #PHYSICS #logicbomb

    This is designed to be fast enough to evade capital ships's fire and If any fighters or bombers got close enough to get a good shot of the back of the ship then just turn on the engines. (:

    In powder toy it is 555 pixels, but if it was real it would be 555 metres.

    @BigPig It is anti-fighter because it is very good at destroying starfighters.

    Kanokarob, this is a space design, aerodynamics don't have much or any effect on the ship's velocity.

    Well it isnt at all aerodynamic. :P
