Description:

The BR-Predator is a fast moving and highly maneuverable starfighter, making it slightly difficult to hit while allowing it to easily track down enemy starfighters or molest capital size warships. They theory behind the engineering creation was to allow these fighters to do hit-and-run tactics on much larger ships, while allowing it to engage smaller ships like other starfighters in dog fighting situations.

However, outside their capacity to fire proton torpedoes their rapid-fire laser cannons have limited range (maximum range of six meters), which after that the lasers lose their gusto. Against ships of it's type it can hold it's own but against bigger warships they have to get close, putting the ship and the one pilot in harm's way; nearly countering it ability to avoid being slightly difficult to hit. The BR-Predator comes with a standard deflector shield, but against more powerful turrets/cannons the shield can be knocked down quickly.

More of a offensive fighter by design, it does possess the chaff system ability. This system allows it to gain a better defense against fighters that get behind it, but the system is only good against fighters. In the event it is fleeing from a warship and it unloads on the fighter, the pilot can activate the chaff system but it won't hamper or stop the more powerful turrets/cannons from them.

* Proton Torpedoes

Are these secondary mounted torpedoes or the torpedo's for the launchers listed?

If they are another weapon system You can only mount 2

If they are just the torpedo's from the 2 launchers please remove them as they are not required.

Generally Attack craft smaller than bombers may only have 2 warhead launchers. Fighters are allowed 4 weapons other than warhead launchers so if you wanted to put 2 torpedo's on external mounts that would be ok, but not 2 additional launchers.

Thanks for noticing the Proton Torpedoes, meant to remove them before submission. Ok, they are gone now.

[member="Tion Dr'iol"] Is the squadron count meant to be 14?

 

[Via Dolorosa]

[member="Reshmar"]

yes.....they are smaller than the average X-wing (12.5 meters) and squadron counts are based off that (12 for standard squadron)

 

[ADM. Reshmar]

As they are small I see no problem with that. Looks good then Approved pending
