[Fighter Blueprint] Xenon N M5 [X3]

Fast, maneuverable, and packing a decent punch for an M5 in the form of the Particle Accelerator Cannon, the N is the reconnaisance and light harassment fighter of choice for the Xenon. It is usually deployed in large groups, sometimes alongside the heavier M. Though it can do a bit of damage, the N is poorly shielded, even by M5 standards, and any weapon capable of hitting it is capable of destroying it quickly. This weakness does not seem to discourage the Xenon, however, as they continue to deploy large squadrons of N's for both reconnaisance and general combat purposes.

This build of the Xenon N is based on the X3:TC version. It is exactly 200 blocks. I had some trouble finding good reference images for a few of the ship's angles (particularly around the nose), so it may be slightly out of proportion or misshapen in some places, but I feel like it's pretty close. Also, because of the ship's trailing antenna-like appendages, Avorion places the fighter engine glow in a spot slightly behind where it should be - there's unfortunately nothing I can do to fix this while staying true to the original design.

Screenshots (besides the auto-generated preview image) show fighters at true scale - when you use this blueprint to produce fighters, that's the level of detail you can expect from the final product.

This ship is intended for use as a fighter blueprint, as it lacks the critical ship components necessary for player control.
