Designation- Darkstar-class interceptor
Length- 17 meters
MGLT- 100
Maximum Acceleration- 2,900 G
Maximum Atmospheric Speed- 1,200 km/h
Engine Units- 3x Lorrd Engineering engines
Hyperdrive Rating- Class 1
Shielding- Equipped
Armament-
- 4x Laser cannons
- 2x Heavy laser cannons
- 2x Proton torpedo launcher (2x warheads per launcher)
Crew- 1x Pilot
S-foil Actuators- Equipped
Description- The Darkstar-class interceptor is a joint Lorrd-Acherin design meant to be fielded by Acherin's frontline planetary defense forces, as well as limited use amongst certain Lorrdian special forces units for testing and further adaptation. Upon request by Draken Tu'Rot, the following design would be produced by Lorrd Engineering for the Acherin forces. A capable interceptor and heavy-hitting strike fighter, it is superior to both the R-41 Starchaser and the Z-95 Headhunter.

| The fighter in the image is rather skeletal and doesn't look like it has anywhere to house the proton torpedoes you've mentioned, does it? Personally, I'm also skeptical that it could have a power plant large enough to power heavy laser cannons, but I won't make an issue out of that. Just the proton torpedoes. Where could they be, especially if it has a hyperdrive built in there too? It could mount some concussion missiles, I suppose, but I don't see any missile mounts, either.

| I could change it to six laser cannons, one each on the bottom wing edges and two fire-linked each on the inner side of the wing. Warhead-wise, I could switch to six concussion missiles mounted up and aft of the cockpit.

Where the red circle is, is where the missiles would be held. You couldn't see it due to the picture being small. But viewing the larger version of it would show it.

| I'm going to have to be the stickler, shockingly, on this. Here goes.
I can see the heavy laser cannons, and could even support only two of them. I do not however support four laser cannons. I only see two on the lower wings, with rangefinders, similar to what the A-Wing is armed with. I also only see one concussion missile launcher, with three warheads (which I would be in favor of). I'm also going to have to go with Jace here, on its smaller, skeletal main body, and give an ultimatum; you can either have a hyperdrive or shields, but not both from me.

| I would say that the alternate linked laser cannons are on the upper, inner portion of the wings. I'd be willing to sacrifice the hyperdrive for the shields, by and large. This design is meant to be a defensive fighter for Acherin, so the ability to use hyperdrive doesn't matter too much.

| I assumed those were air intakes, but since it's Star Wars and all, they could be missiles instead. So okay, are we dealing with 6 concussion missiles, 2 laser cannons (I agree with Jaron about the rangefinders, on closer inspection), 2 heavy laser cannons, and shields but no hyperdrive? I say 6 concussion missiles rather than Jaron's 3 because I assume the 3 we see on the starboard side are 3 of 6 in total, the other 3 being on the port side, which we can't see.

Here is the link to the bigger picture, if needed.

| I'm still not seeing this second pair of laser cannons, nor do I see the placement of a second missile rack. I can go with an armored door being shut or some such and grant the six. However, I do not see anywhere that this second pair of laser cannons could exist, and thus I'm still not budging on them unless it can be shown to me.

| Stickler.
Well, I figured it was going to be assumed that if it's on one side, then it's on the other side. I've seen plenty of pictures posted on this (and back in the day too), where the picture would be something similar, and management had no problem. Honestly, there's no reason for the whole 'tough guy' attitude when there's really no need for it. It's not like this request is asking for anything big, like a weapon that can send people directly into a black hole, or a gun that can rip a Star Destroyer in two.

| I'm merely going off of what I see in the image. My critique is due to what is within that image. Asymmetric designs are known to occur, and in fact quite common in the Minmatar vessels in EVE Online. I do not recall a particular instance since I've been a Manager in which the image did not match the design that we gave leeway on. I'm not being a "tough guy", I'm just observing the image present for the design. As a Manager, I must be as critical as possible, and not being as critical as I should has been a major complaint of late, so I am correcting that short-coming, irregardless of past or present.
Again, this is based on the image presented. Nothing else. I'm not being a tough guy, I'm not going personal or anything here. It doesn't matter if it can create a black hole or shoots rainbows at people; when it comes to stuff like this, it needs to match its source image, and in this case, I am calling upon a correction to that source image.

| Well, if I photoshopped one side to look like the other, will that work then? Cause honestly, I don't see an issue by stating that the other side has things to. I think it's rather stupid to put cannons and missile launchers on one side of the picture, but to not have it on the other side. If that was the case, I might as well state that Willy Wanka owned this along with everything else half in his room.
