Z-95-SAF2 Headhunter

The Z-95 Starlight Providence 2 "Headhunter" (Z-95-SL-P2 Headhunter), also known as the Z-95 Starlight Assault Fighter 2 "Headhunter" (Z-95-SAF2 Headhunter) is a Refined, Production version of the modification kit Z-95-AF4-P1. The P2 is slightly modified and even has some improvements over the P1.

Weapon Systems
While the P1 emphasized fire power over all else, the P2 goes for more performance and defense. That is not to say that the P2 still isn't heavily armed. Two Twin Blaster Cannons (TBCs) replace the four Rapid-fire Blaster Cannons (RBCs), thought the TBCs don't pack the punch the RBCs had they retain the rate of fire and are still a effective weapon during dog fights.

The Assault Laser Cannons (ALCs) are replaced with Heavy Laser Cannons (HLCs) which are less maintenance intense and more energy efficient while still maintaining a powerful punch to bare down on heavy/large targets.

Both the TBCs and HLCs cannot be used at the same time, power restrictions simply won't allow it as well as the close proximity of the weapons, overheating would become a serious issue. The weapons also share a set of capacitors, allowing the Pilot to switch weapon systems on the fly without waiting for the newly selected weapon to charge.

The wing mounted hard points allow for any number of options. They can mount six extra missiles for anti fighter or anti light capital ship operations. Four heavy rockets for anti capital ship operations. They can also carry 6 bombs fore ground support. There also options for extended flight or slug firing type weapons as well.

The versatility of the pay load on these fighters is only matched by the BTL-S8 K-wing assault star fighter (which aren't available to the general public).

Flight
The reintroduced swing-wing is further enhanced with flaps and ailerons, allowing for improved maneuvering in both atmosphere and in space as a AMBAC system.

The engines are a complete redesign and built from the ground up of the modified ones used on the P1, The thrust vectoring is refined to aid in the P2's maneuvering. All of this adds up, giving the P2 comparable speeds and maneuvering to the Tie Interceptor.
