Militarized Freelancer Ships

[Revan]

That's not true. Today's fighter crafts, with all their fancy electronics, try to give the pilot a huge field of view. Things like short-range dogfights with HMS and high maneuverability missiles (Like Archer, or Aim-9X) allow the pilot to actually shoot something at a real 90? deg while pulling high-G maneuvers, and favors those who can actually see what's behind them.

I am going to go ahead and say, spaceships shouldn't have to look anything like planes, because there is no wind resistance, no need for wings - and definitely no need for any torpedo style body because again no resistance, so in my opinion ships like the sabre make sense.
