The F-6000 Is Nistolonias response to the growing number of satellites being used as weapons. It is a fighter, albiet a very fast, very unmanuverable one.

It is able to maintain an alititude around the level of most high flying satelittes, where it can deploy its payload of long ranged missiles. It has no other weapons, little armour, and has terrible turning, but against its type of target, it has a 95% hit rate (in tests)

The F-6000 is open to the public for purchase.

OOC: High Earth Orbit is currently out of reach for this 'aircraft' because Medium Earth Orbit reaches from 1400 km - 35,790 km. And to get up there you need a massive spaceship with huge fuel tanks.

OOC: Lemmie change the sizes...

OOC: Nistolonia, I'm no expert, but nevertheless, I'll give you some advice. I say you register up at the NS Draftroom (http://s13.invisionfree.com/The_NS_Draftroom). There are lots of technicians and experts that will be more than willing to help.

Sounds interesting . However , we do not have a need for such aircraft because we can scramble our X-Wings or T-Wings should any killer satellite appear to threathen our sovereignity .

Therefore we would like to propose that we share technologies with each other to further enhance our fighting force . Could we also request that you send us one of these aircraft for a test to see if it could be integrated into our fleet if modified ? We would subject it to a couple of tests .
