New Federacy Research Labs are proud to introduce a redically new fighter design, named the Vortex. It is an oval fighter with a full transperasteel front section. The pilot, instead of sitting down, lays down on a special bed. He lays on his stomach with the head facing the front. His arms are placed into slots on each sides, with grip handles inside each.
These slots are mimics of two massive extended arms on either side of the fighter. Moving the mimics moves the arms in the same way. Each arm moves with all the motion of a human hand and can face up, down, sideways, and even slightly back. Each arm has 1 enhanced gattler and one warhead launcher. On the belly resides a rotating Heavy Gattler. On top, on the port and starboard side are 2 AMS system that can fire in all directions.
The handles that the pilots hold control almost all the system, twisting them makes the fighter speed up, twisting back, slows it down. They have a scroll function to shift the weapons from laser to ions to torps, to shift the radar into different modes, to zoom in or out of the battle zone, and many other functions.
The Transperasteel front is actually a display screen as well. It is fully colored and has targeting crosshairs to help the pilot. It contains a full radar display which shows the pilot where the enemy and friends are without him having to look down. As the pilots moves his head to look up, down, or side to side, movement sensors move the display over so that he can see it all the time. The display could show the pilot more data than he would ever need, so everything is linked to a neural network and the pilot can just think about and visualize what ever information he needs at the moment.
A full countermeasures suite it installed with the fighter, with powerfull jammers, decoy dispensers, and alert systems that notify the pilots if an enemy ships get close. The ship is lightweight, but has enough armor so that it could take plenty of damage. However, It mostly relies on speed and agility to outfight opponents. Thrust vectoring and microthursters give the ship fast spin and turn ability, as well as climb.
