Since the collection was missing a proper ion powered space fighter, I decided to build this one. It's pretty simple and cheap, running solely on battery power. As long as you keep the batteries filled, you won't ever have to worry about fuel and it will fly right away after printing it. It's not super fast, but pretty agile thanks to the large thrusters on the bottom. That also makes it very effective on the moon, without having to fear a crash all the time. With four gatling guns and only light armor it doesn't stand a chance against the much bigger fighters out there, but it's still better than flying around in your suit alone. 
The coloring is all greyscale, so you can change it very easily by adjusting the color of the lights and LCDs. The LCDs are also the only dlc blocks, you can replace them with text panels or just windows if you don't have the dlc.
The general shape of the fighter was inspired by the [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1719118615]Winox Fighter[/url].
