ADVANCED SYSTEMS

• Screamer

Strengths:

• Quick: The Eagle is a fast strike craft, able to get inside an enemy formation quickly and get out just as quickly often leaving a wave of destruction in its wake.
• Invisible: The Eagle boasts an advanced Screamer system, allowing the Eagle to hide its drive emission, allowing for the Eagle to approach without warning towards a target.

Weaknesses:

• Carrier: The Eagle lacks any hyperdrive capability, forcing it to rely on carrier ships to get it into and out of a battle.
• Shielding: To ensure the maximum speed and weapon power capabilities, the Eagle lacks an extensive shield array, relying on its speed and maneuverability to keep it alive.

Description: The Eagle stands to serve as the primary fighter craft of the Federation of Allied Systems. Whether deployed as a garrison force in a Federation star system, or leading the vanguard of a fleet battle, the Eagle is able to serve at its best. The Screamer unit onboard the ship provides it with added protection against enemy forces, forcing them to rely on visual sight more than their targeting computers or sensors.

[member="Sentus Olan"], welcome to the Factory. This looks like it's two ratings too high. I'd recommend lowering couple ratings, either two ratings from a single field (ex. Armament: High=>Average) or one rating from two separate fields (ex. Speed & maneuverability: High => Moderate). But ultimately, the choice is up to you.

Invisible: The Eagle boasts an advanced ECM system, allowing it to appear nearly invisible on most ship sensors. This allows the craft to be deployed at the edge of a star system, and enemy forces won't know what's coming until its already too late.

I'd recommend looking at the Stealth Category on Wookieepedia here. The closest equivalent to ECM in the Star Wars setting are different types of sensor jammers, which may be another alternative to consider.

I'd recommend rephrasing this to better match the Screamer's actual abilities. The screamer can help hide a starfighter's drive emissions (which is probably especially effective at range), but it doesn't really make it "invisible" per se.
