Actually theyre a little boring. Extremely solid ships, though. I by far prefer the Rapier (either mark)

You deal death with your roars and your screams, your threats, your taunts, your overblown ego. I hand it out, one with the steel and the silence, the blackness around me, with a thought.
Boring? They're one of the nicest designs around. They're neither too extravagant, nor too simple. That's what makes them so... well, to borrow Frosty's words... neat.
Yeah, why not? Four 20mm cannon, four .50 caliber machine guns, and God's own engines in the form of a pair of 2100hp Pratt & Wittney R-2800 radials driving huge frigging props.
A little obscure, Death, but still a worthy plane. However, there is the minor detail that it's sort of hard to go anywhere in space with prop engines. A little thruster on the back end of that thing and youd have yourself a great joyride...

The CMD doesnt take that long to charge. The problem is if you miss a lot... In a head-on pass the Scim's missile would get shot down by the Tigershark's gun (even if it wasnt it wouldnt kill the 'shark) and once you get into the turning fight the Tigershark has a clear advantage. Forcing someone to eat missiles doesnt mean much when you only have a couple of shots at it and they have vulgar numbers of decoys. Guns only though is another story... the Scim would actually have a chance unless the Tigershark pilot is a damn good shot.
