STRENGTHS

• ROF Rotary Cannon- The two cannons mounted on the nose are a nice little surprise when the S-foils are closed. They are deactivated when the foils are locked in attack position but are to be used defensively.
• MAST- Another addition to the new model. The turret is meant to be a "point defense" and activates when an IFF locates an enemy fighter with a lock.
• MULTI-ROLE- The X-wing has always been a multi-role platform but this model does not need a RIO to run attack or bombing missions. The advanced systems and more roomy cockpit allow for more mobility.

WEAKNESSES

• MULTI-ROLE=SLOWER- There are more capabilities to the new model, but those take away from the "almost perfect balance of speed, maneuverability, and defensive shielding".
• ROF Rotary Cannon- This is indeed a nice little surprise to the X-wing, but the cannons are forward-firing and relatively unguided. One might as well re-engage S-foils.
• BOOM- The success of the X-wing is its downfall as pilots tend to get too big for their britches. The fighter is well shielded, but a direct hit from a laser cannon can still take it out.

DESCRIPTION
For over 860 years, the X-wing has been one of, if not the most successful fighters in the galaxy. From a "lucky shot" to an "almost perfect balance of speed, maneuverability, and defensive shielding", Incom had a goldmine on its developmental hands. Even now the X-wing is still a formidable ship that is tearing up the galaxy for the Galactic Alliance and the Silver Jedi Defense Force. This new model takes nothing away from the others on the market, just offers a newer spin to it.

Feels like a Star Wars-esque F/A-18…and I love that!
