Description:
The TEI was desinged with fighter to fighter combat in mind. The lasers are strong enough to compete with any current ships and the torpedo tubes contain a fair amount of firepower for the size. The real innovation of the ship is the existence of a wing blade.

The blade is constructed out of Quadanium Steel a very durable type of metal and designed to overwhelm an enemy ship's shields and directly damage the enemies hull. This is a dangerous weapon to use however, as a slight miscalculation of timing could see damage to the ship itself as well as the enemy.

I'd rather not allow anyone maximum speed possible without a short dev thread at least for a mass produced unit. Nothing else stands out, but I won't ask for an elite fighter's amount of work either. If you could make the speed 2/2 or perform a 10 post dev thread I'd be alright with approving this.
