Note that the new version came out shortly after that post. So I had to work on updating the Ante's again.  ;)

that's quite interesting.

why the weapon mounts though? wouldn't it make more sense to have the hard point as built in, or hidden?

I was planning on having a light needler in the front backed up by a light mg, but the needler was to big and costed way to much for a fighter so i've switched around a little, it got a vulcan cannon on that rear mount, looks more real to see a mount underneath the gun tbh, the front is a dual light MG, (haven't seen what it looks like yet) its got harpoon MRM singles hanging from the tip of the wings and a hidden swarmer SRM in the middle, i can play for a little and post a screen on what it looks like when its armed if you want.

But i doubt il keep the MRM's, 6 harpoons on a whole fighter wing is overkill when they are backed up with kinetic weapons.
The weapons are already there since its a fighter, you cant refit it, so it doesn't really matter if its got mounts or not  ;D

I tried having different front ends as well, i made the hull go all around it, but after looking at it, it just didn't look right without that frontal hardpoint, so i put it back on.

EDIT: looks like this

EDIT 2: In truth it looks even more weird with a weapon on it :P the gun is so big, the vulcan actually looks pretty good tho.

The new look, removed the hardpoint mount because it looked so weird with a massive weapon on a tiny fighter, could have used it as a heavy bomber tho.

Spoiler

Now, its 2 gun barrels coming out underneath the cockpit plate , also made some other slight changes, doubt anyone will notice them, it looks more like an actual fighter now and not a small corvette. ;D

No, that's 4 times as big, lol.  Anyhow, if it's being classified as a Corvette, it's fine, I just thought I'd point out that it makes Talons look pretty tiny :)
