Hmmm...Hellcat VI, huh? I would give it:
Max speed: 450kps
Max afterburner: 1200kps
Turn rate: 65/65/65dps
Shields front/rear/port/starboard: 250/250/250/250
Armor front/rear/port/starboard: 120/120/100/100
Guns: 2 particle/2 light tachyon
Missiles: 2X4 medium (2IR/2IR/2FF/2FF)
Decoys: 32
Autoslide: yes
Atmosphere: yes
Jump: no
A little better all around, but not overpowered--this ship would be just a bit less powerful than the Panther.

It's too bad that Confed didn't upgrade the shields of the T-bolts and Excals to use the new alien upgrades the newer ships enjoyed. They might have actually stood a chance.

REPEAT 60 TIMES.
If you're referring to the ships in SO, I think they were mostly in-system fighters (as opposed to carrier-based fighters) meaning they would tend not to be on the front lines and hence have lower priority for upgrades, etc.Originally posted by Saturnyne

I think the fighters also had some shield upgrades - it's hard to tell in-game, but I think you can see multiple setups for Confed fighters using WCPEdit.Originally posted by junior
Correct me if I'm mistaken, but didn't the "new alien upgrades" merely consist of better IR missiles and the Midway's Fire-and-Forget weapon?
Good point.Originally posted by junior
Considering that the second Nephilim invasion occurred within days of Blair's funeral, I don't think Confed had the time needed to upgrade the fleet...

There's also the scene that was cut showing how they can see through cloak that has bits still in the game files, but that's hardly official.
