Raptor

"Your engine's turbines roar as you scream out of the sky. Startled troops look up just in time to see your wing cannons blaze. You feel the plane buck slightly as your missiles streak towards their targets. A flash in the distance tells you that they have done their job and so have you. The Mega-Corps pay well, for those good enough to survive. They call you into the shadows with dreams of wealth, and you answer, the only way you know how."

The F-XX Raptor is a average ship meant to be used as a replacement for the standard ship. Aside from nostalgia, this ship has decent speed and handling, average fire power, and some challenging missions to keep you busy for hours!
