Well Vlad it looks like the Invasion is going to proceed and as it is going to happen, the Wolves can not be left behind. With this surge of construction across Clan Space I have had time to review our current and future Aerospace assets and I had our Scientists look at ADV-ASF/941 and what they have found after some convincing was worrying. The fighter will be formidable but it will be a terrifying heat hog. I had the Scientists look at the design once more before we begin production, bringing in a different team who did not work on the original design. The results are below.
Let me know what you think and if we should proceed.

Prime – This appears to be more like a larger Visigoth, which makes me like it as it will tweak Malvina’s nose. The fire power is still there, but not so the huge heat issues and it is all together more flexible. All three primary weapons can be salvo fired without any heat issues and a smart pilot will know to drop some of their guns at shorter ranges if they wish to use their missiles.

A – The Alfa is a ground support fighter, its energy weapons make its strafing runs a deadly threat to anything under its guns. In a dogfight the four medium pulse lasers and paired Streak-6 launchers give it solid firepower, but it has heat problems as bad as the base design should a Pilot be fool enough to dare a full alpha strike.

B - This variant is built to engage at long range with its ER large lasers and LRM-10s each fitted with their own Artemis system, but at shorter ranges the LB-20 cannon will be a deeply unpleasant surprise for hostile craft trying to get in close and it will let it be able to take a significant bite out of a hostile DropShip with a solid shot. Heat is a problem but only if engaged from front and behind and if this should happen, the pilot will have more to worry about than a bit of heat.

B – A minor change to the base design, the addition of an active probe will prove useful in space against Spheroid DropShips whilst the quartet of ER Small lasers provides enough discouragement to anyone trying to tail this fighter.

C - Built for mid-range engagements the C can engage at long range with its ER large laser but up close a pair of LB-10s and Streak-6 launchers are its main firepower. A trio of ER medium lasers fire forwards whilst one covers the rear. With the sheer volume of shrapnel and missiles in the air, the C should be able to cripple opponents in short order.
