     The RSI Scorpius is my favorite dedicated fighter. Enough missiles and guns for any pilot to be happy, atmospheric flight that makes the Scorpius sing, gun-racks and storage to make a bunker runner happy, enough room for a friend in need of a ride or who just wants to shoot a bunch of guns, a silhouette that invokes the nostalgia of classic ships like the X-Wing and Starfury while maintaining the uniquely Star Citizen design and aesthetic cues of RSI ships like the Aurora... it's just such a great package.

     If it had an exterior 3-SCU cargo grid on its bottom instead of the ability to change its turret position, it REALLY would be the perfect ship for me. I am happy with it as it is anyways though. :)
