As you know for years our LHX-F1A "Bayonet" heavy fighter design was one of the best in its class. Sporting extreme agility and sophisticated electronics made it highly desired among both Lane Hackers and Outcasts. However, recent years brought unprecedented changes in this field. Numerous new designs hit the market and gradual optimization of various technologies make the environment extremely dynamic both in terms of ships and weapons. Yesterday's champions are the damned of today. Anticipating those changes we sold Falchion, Bayonet and Broadsword blueprints to the black market and started to work on a new LH-X5 series of ships. Nearly a year ago we have conducted Operation Crimson Prometheus which allowed us to secure prototype of LSF space superiority fighter. Since then we dedicated much of our Research and Development resources to the new designs. Our goal is to create a very heavy fighter comparable to your fine Rapier - but specialized in electronic warfare.
Unfortunately, preliminary tests proved to be unsatisfactory. Our prototypes are not as agile as we would like them to be and avionics module leaves a lot room for improvement. The unquestionable success of your CQ-GI series of crafts allows me to have hope that by combining our experience we could easily remove those obstacles. I do not really think it is necessary to point out the obvious - that the success of this project lies also in your best interests - as out closest allies you would get access to a more specialized alternative for your excellent ships.
Please advise if and how much resources you can dedicate to this project.
