LAC-9C Accipiter - Fighter-interceptor

Description
The Accipiter
A small grid fighter inspired by Homeworld 3 strike craft

The LAC-9C Accipiter is an agile fighter-interceptor built for fleet defense or fast attack roles. The Accipiter is the atmospheric counterpart to the LVC-4D Excubitor. Like its relative, it is designed to be fielded from a carrier or forward operating base.

Features high acceleration in all axes, high turn rates and small frontal area. All of this, combined with high damage output, allows a skilled pilot to defeat heavier vessels, provided he can evade most incoming fire. As there is no H2 tank, the chances of catastrophic sudden dissasembly due to a lucky shot are minimal.

The LAC-9C comes with a basic RWR in the form of a broadcast controller. It will issue an alert to chat when an enemy grid locks onto your ship, and an all-clear when it is no longer locked. As an extra, it can also tag points of interest as GPS markers (see toolbar page 2). If the cabin toolbar breaks, check this discussion.

Name/VTOL capabilities remind me of the Accipter in PW, while the 3rd pic's radiates classic PW orange toning.

Cool fighter.

@Shadowpheonix Here it is, I've just uploaded it: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3500211900

But be aware that, since it's a prototype, there will be missing features. You'll have to configure it yourself!

The other versions I won't upload, since they are basically the same as the C variant but with worse performance.

Are any of the other fighters in the last screen shot available? Specifically, I am interested in the XLAC-9.

@Grasshopper K I guess you are right, I'll keep that in mind!

@YoYonis No problem!
