Approximating High-Tech and Ultra-Tech with Spaceships

Here's another build of a TL7 fighter jet, modeled on the F-15:

Light Alloy Armor x5 (dDR 12 for the cockpit only)
Control Room x2
Tactical Array
Defensive ECM x3
Jet Engine x2 (Afterburning Turbofan; 1 G acceleration; Top Speed 2,500 mph)
Fuel Tank x2 (Provides one hour of fuel)
Medium Battery (3 fixed mount 16cm missile launchers)
Major Battery (fixed mount with 2.5cm very rapid fire conventional gun)
Maneuver Enhancement x3

The armor is designed to protect the pilots from antiaircraft fire rather than add to the plane's survivability. Cost is $1.57M—less than a tenth of a real F-15!
