Update:
The enemy had begun probing your station's sensor boundaries with greater frequency, and ambushing civilian traffic, forcing your hand but also providing a chance to field the "Thunderbird Heavy" in a public manner. One was always attached to a carrier patrol, instructed to "fire only if necessary or opportunistic." The public was shown video clips of the craft during rare moments of it's main weapon firing, the flying sparks and flames a spectacle of it's operation and certainly not violent self destruction during operation.
--
Leadership was aware of the need to leak data to the enemy, and the thunderbird-h was an eclectic mix of brilliant salvaging and a horrific attempt at innovating something new, so poorly that some quietly questioned your competency or if the enemy would believe the ruse.
--
The knights had grown restless, as the now salvaged knight frame began mobility tests in it's hanger. Tethered like a giant marionette, but still, enough to stoke their passions, violence was escalating between those who viewed themselves as rightful pilots, and would place themselves above those who would settle as simple "fighter jockeys." It wasn't just between individual pilots, but at a family and clan level that spilled over into business and civilian alliances on the station. You deployed an increased security presence in hopes of quelling the unrest.
--
The fighter program had begun to grind forward once more, data from the knight interceptors, the frame restoration project, and errata from the admiralty itself directed the shape of things to come. The official nomenclature would be "Heavy Fighter", though it was closer in mass to a corvette. The new generation would have access to a combination of purpose made equipment and scavenged components.

>Roll: 6d20 please.(2d20, +2 for your first roll, -8 on your second roll. I'll calculate it. First roll is for the carriers and strike craft, second is for the thunderbird-H)
The misadventures of the carrier and Thunderbird-H picket teams and protecting civilian ships.
(1d20, -1 for potential imperial instigation and influence)
Station security not fucking up.
1. Give them the stick!
or
2. Don't give them the stick!
(2d20) Research
Try to debug the thunderbird-H main weapon.
and
1. Heavy fighter research. (will dictate what you can do and what you can get. A bad roll on the first will impact the second.)
or
2. Research a cheap spinal weapon for the capital ship.
>Also:Please pick a name for the Thunderbird heavy and "Capital ship"
