I am so confused.

They handle - great, actually. They can manage a little more acceleration in any given direction than a human can handle without blacking out. Raptors - that's what I fly - are a little heavier than Vipers, but it's because they're not just guns and engines.

What's the difference in short range and long range performance between the two? [At least its a subject that he can get into. He was a pilot once, he had to be to be in Argosy Special Ops, and the woman he dated for some time was one.]

Raptors have an FTL drive, which, as you probably know, makes a difference. [ ha understatement. ]

But they don't have as many weapons. They can carry heavy stuff, like nukes. And they need two to fly. Pilot, and ECO.

Slipfighters are slipstream capable, but very maneuverable. Depending on the size of the fighter they can house two.

What are your larger classes of ships like? Are they susceptible to nukes?

[landfall]

...is anything not susceptible to nukes?

Glorious Heritage Class cruisers are designed for close sun flies, so they can take quite a bit of damage. Not without repercussions, but they can.

[landfall]

...how close to a sun?

[truth_is_cold]

Deep within the Corona but not actually into the mass itself. Slipfighters can't, but the warships can.

Wow.
