DESCRIPTION
Designed to operate as a light patrol craft, the Spitefire-class is a well equipt vessel capable of handling itself in many situations. Armed with a pair of PC-3s in the "trunk" hull, two ion cannons in the upper wings, and Strill universal launchers in the lower wing roots, the Spitefire is capable of handling both heavy combat and starship capture. Bulking these systems is a device bay capable of housing various weapons and more utilitarian systems. Combined with agility boosting microthrusters mounted to the lower wings, the Spitfire can easily prove to be a surprisingly deadly opponent to fighter craft as well as heavier vessels, the patroller isn't without its faults though.

The interior is fairly cramped, and the odd shape can make her difficult to land at times (with the lower "trunk" hull forcing a roughly 45 degree landing angle). Along with this the use of microthrusters to help with agility can make flying the Spitfires more difficult, as pilots aren't always prepared to fly such a heavy vessel capable of turning with interceptors, but still has to deal with the momentum of a small light freighter. This can sometimes leave the larger craft to feel “slick,” and basically slide off it’s forward vector. This can take pilots a long time to get use to this in combat situations, but with time this heavy bird can be mastered.
