When you said fighter plane I was expecting, well a fighter plane. At any rate I love it, but I'd like to add my two (geeky) cents worth.

  1. Since its not aero/hydro-dynamic, it implies space capable. The stabilizing fins imply atmosphere capable as well. Therefore I'd make the fins retractable looking so that the pilot only uses them in atmosphere.

  2. The gatling guns are nice, but they imply projectile ammunition (if I'm not mistaken). Great for atmosphere, but in space??? I remember reading a Sci Fi short story where a cargo ship flew by the site of a space battle that took place over 300 years earlier where they use projectile weapons. The bullets had travelled over hundreds of thousands of kilometers and they were showered by ammunition travelling at 5000 m/s. In other words maybe add some good ole fashion energy weapons too.

Ok, it was more than two cents. Sorry.
