History/Description: Born to the idea of MWB Scientist, Drake Carter the E-1 Advanced Interceptor would prove to be the greatest in its class. It is fast, agile and powerful the lethal three combo. It is lethal in a dog fight, being able to perform moves rivaled only by the infamous earlier Tie Fighter. But it carries a small shield generator unlike the Tie Fighter. But to make sure it performed the same as the Tie Fighter the shield generator was slow to recharge and could only take two critical hits. So it was hardly used and the pilots, piloting the fighter relied on reflexes and skill more then the shield to protect them. Which should be how all E-1 Pilots are trained for better effectiveness and to better the chance of success of a mission.

The E-1 is also like the early tie fighter cheap to produce costing only slightly more then the earlier tie fighter due to extra enhancements. In simulations the E-1 not only beat the tie interceptors in dog fights but massacred them proving how effective the E-1 is. The E-1 is available for purchase.

Price: 50 Million Credits [Tell me if that is too high, never produced a star fighter before so I wouldn’t know price.

OOC: The maximum speed for any spacecraft is 0.999... c. Maximum practical speed is determined primarily by available fuel and steering capabilities, I think. What exactly is a 'critical hit'?

Well in the SW universe which is what I am basing my craft on that is the speed amount for a jedi starfighter. However I may be reading the Essential guide to ships wrong so if someone could correct me please do so.

Also critical hits are powerful often lucky hits. Most of the time though its just two or three hits tops before the shields go down which shouldn't be a problem for most pilots if they follow MWB training procedure.
