Description: The Shrieker-class was made to be small and terrifying, swarm and overwhelm enemy fighters with speed, and small profile. While its main intent is not to kill or destroy fighters (although possible), its priority is to capture the fighters.... either to sell or scrap the fighter, and sell off the pilot to the highest bidder. With its smaller profile, it didn't have much room for other necessities, which typically makes it almost feel like a cheap, throw-away fighter, with lesser components than the average fighter. It also has an obscenely loud shrieking sound as it whizzes by.
Intent: Standard Golan Arms fighter
Who Can Use This: Golan Arms and friends

Squadron Count: 20

This is pretty high given this fighter's other attributes. While it's possible to get high squadron counts, this usually comes at the cost of performance in some other areas, most often in weapons and/or defense.

While the defense is marginally lower than the standard template fighter, its speed is also improved, which I would call a wash.

I see two basic options:

1) Change squadron count to 12
2) Almost halve the armament(and its weapons listing) or the defense rating.

If you other ideas or suggestions, I'm open to them as well.
