Oh, Toaster, I so hope that was irony.

Whether space fighters should be aerodynamic depends entirely on if they're ever going to be in the atmosphere.

Whether space fighters should exist at all depends more on tech assumptions and the Rule of Cool than anything else.

If you ARE doing space fighters, make them look cool as minis, and try to make them scale compatible with other stuff I publish, like the upcoming BoP minis.

space fighters shouldn't exist;)

@AdAstra: what rough scale? 1:3900?

I'm debating building the Jovian Chronicles 'MacLeod Program' ships in 1:3900 and sending them to shapeways (after getting DP9's approval), but those ships are *BIG* (2.85" dia centrifuge and about 3-5" long) in that scale.

Half the JC ships have obvious small-craft catapults, so fighters are necessary!
