The TX-60 Swordfish is a pretty simple fighter, just like the other ones I made albeit a bit more rustic. It also has two guided missiles, controlled by Whip's [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2108744940&searchtext=lamp]LAMP[/url] and [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2108743626&searchtext=lamp]WHAM[/url] scripts. They weren't part of the original design, but I wanted to try them out and they worked so flawlessly that I just had to include them. 

Firing the missiles is dead simple, press toolbar button 4 and aim at your target. The script will lock on and the missiles fire automatically. They are self guided so you don't have to worry about them anymore. Sometimes the locking on a target takes a while at large distances, the larger the target and the closer you are, the easier it is.

The fighter only has atmospheric thrusters and is powered by a large reactor and two batteries. Apart from the missiles everything is one grid, so you can print the entire fighter and the missiles separately and then attach them. The two batteries are good enough to keep it hovering.

The front and side gatling guns have their own separate cargo containers and are not connected to the rest of the conveyor system because of size contraints. You'll just have to reload them manually.
