Strengths: (Provide, in list format, a minimum of 1 strength of this submission.)

• Heavy Armor: The Warpath-class is tough, able to outlast most ships it’s size.
• High Shields: The Warpath is heavly shielded, making it a tough ship to damage.
• Burst of Speed: Due to the use of the HI-AMD-1 engine, the Warpath can reach higher speeds than would normally occur with a ship of it’s weight.

Weaknesses: (Provide, in list format, a minimum of 1 weaknesses of this submission.)

• Explosive Consequences: Because of the nature of the HI-AMD-1 Engine, prolonged usage at the top speed will cause the engine to overheat. The results of prolonged overheating are dangerous, and in every test have proven to be both destructive and fatal.
• Tank: Because of the ship’s heavy armor and weight, it moves slower than most starfighters.
• Flies like a Truck: The Warpath isn’t too maneuverable, relying on absorbing as much damage as it takes.

Description: The Warpath is a heavy starfighter designed to take and deal out as much punishment as possible. While the engine can boost the speed for short periods, the ship is not more maneuverable. The ship still corners badly. The armoring and shields are meant to turn away damage, but beyond that, it’s outclassed by most fighters in both speed and maneuverability.

Although it was relatively easy to make, the Warpath was a hard ship to put to market. No one liked it at first, and most test pilots said it wasn't what they expected in a ship. No one was sure that it would sell. The tank of a fighter would have to be tough to sell. And so they built it tough. No one was sure if it would take. But there was only one way to find out.

Development Thread: Will do if needed
Intent: To create a heavy fighter for the open market.

Alright everything seems ok, but if you don't mind filling out the description more to at least another paragraph before I send this to approval? Its just a bit below average just reiterating its strengths and weaknesses quickly. A little more would be nice.

Approved.

Please don't abuse this as i can see one of its weaknesses quickly becoming a strength.
