Personally, my fighter preference is not divided between Terran and Vasudan. It's a division of where the primary hardpoints are located. For example, Chasing a Herc 1 in a Tauret; the primary weapon fire is so spread out to port and starboard on that fighter that unless I perfectly align my ship to have the same "up" as the Herc, even when I hit, it's only with half of my lasers. On the Erinyes, however, the primaries are bunched close together and usually can all hit the target at once. IMHO that is also why the Erinyes is such a powerful fighter - it can make effective use of it's 8 primaries at once.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences.

The tech database is bollocks.   It's been discussed a few times, but the Mjolnir RBC is said to have missile banks 'able to tackle multiple bogies concurrently' - or something like that. And it has nothing like that, making the things sitting ducks against fighter/bomber wings - however, that's where the GTSG Dante comes in.

What did I say about Lokis?!

Do not underestimate a Loki. In the hands of a skilled pilot, the Loki is very deadly.

Maybe so, but any pilot who can be deadly in a Loki can be more deadly in something with MORE FREAKING GUNS! =P
