Crystal Advanced Aircraft

After realizing their anti-aircraft cannons were inadequate, Atmosphere Mechanics set about developing an Interceptor to defend their surface fleets. The result of this was the Crystal Advanced Aircraft. The Crystal can easily engage any hostile fighters or bombers with it's 10 50mm Autocannons or Lua guided kinetic missiles as well as harass surface targets at range. Unfortunately, it's cost rivaled that of some frigates and therefore saw limited production.
