S.S.F. VX-1 Stinger

Thought I might as well post something before I go completely inactive. I did tweak the fighter a bit, but other than minor changes to the central engine, the fighter is exactly the same as when I first uploaded it to the LU Creation Lab.

S.S.F. (Scorpion Star Fighter)

Front:

Back:

Overhead:

The VX-1 is currently the standard issue fighter for the SAF. It's comparable to the TIE Fighter in the way that it is built with average quality parts with the intention of mass production. Unlike the TIE, these average quality parts are slightly altered to better their abilities. These fighters are quite a challenge when facing a squadron, though a lone Stinger wouldn't stand much of a chance against a more advanced fighter class.

Specs: (No idea what to put, but I'll try my best. I'm making this up as I write, BTW )
Weapons: Two forward facing Scorpion-tech rapid phaser cannons. These cannons fire a burst of three shots with every pull of the trigger. Not the best in weaponry, but could pack quite a punch with it's advanced rate of fire.
Speed: The Stinger uses a tweaked engine to allow for better maneuverability. It's quite a bit faster than your standard fighter, but nothing to get excited about.
Armor: Again, better than the standard fighter, but isn't built for taking a lot of damage. Usually found in squads with a minimum of five to combat this. It is armored slightly more on the cockpit which can double as an escape pod should the wings take too much damage.

Rate and Comment! Hope you enjoy! My old starships are coming soon!

It reminds me of my older 'fighters'... well not really. Mine were blocky things which can't compare to anything, this is cool though.

I do like the engines, but the overall design seems blocky and simplistic. I'ld make a better connection from cockpit to wings and maybe not make them so flat. Maybe angle them slightly (sorta like an MX-11 Astro Fighter) or something? Maybe angle them up a little, that'ld be different from most fighters.

@Ant: The biggest 'fighter', the Klingon K'vort, had up-angled wings too, pretty cool looking.

Alright fine! It wouldn't be a first if it had only angled up wings, but it'ld still be cool.

Wait, the Klingon's had starfighters?!?

Probably should have made this more clear in the post, I made this when I was like 13. I was very simplistic back then. I do appreciate the suggestions Ant, Angled wings and cockpit sounds like a great idea. I do plan to remake all of my old S.A.F. stuff, as all of it is as blocky as this one. Or worse. For now I'm just posting the originals just to be able to post something.

@Ant: It was a starship, quite a big starship at that. Basically a stereotypical B'Rel Bird of Prey with wings always angled upwards (I'm pretty sure they are angled upwards, they look that way in Yesterday's Enterprise) but I mentioned it because Klingon ships look a bit like giant fighter planes.

I know in STO, the Klingons have some form or fighters, but that's about all I can say. Don't actually know much about them.

@Aqua: Ahhhh, mmk. Yeah I'm pretty much in the same spot as far as ships go. I'm more or less putting up stuff I build a long time ago with the intentions of rebuilding/refitting it later. My PPT Thunderhead is a good example of this.

@talmid: Ok, so angled up wings on a fighter would still be a first. YAYZ! My ideaz iz still orijinalz!
