Recon Starfighter v1.0 (TL 10)
        
        This aerospace fighter combines the passive sensor suite usually found
    only on capital ships with a hyperdrive for interstellar travel.
        The fighter has 120-mile thermographs, 90-mile xadars, a 24-mile MAD,
    10-mile multiscanners, ALLTVs and recon cameras. It is armed with missiles,
    a xaser (ver|imp|6d*10(2)|3|20|6 mi.|15 mi.|4|20 KWh) and a pair of gauss
    miniguns (ver|cr|6d*3(3)|4|16|1 mi.|4.5 mi.|60|5,000|0.2 KWh). The crew has
    no proper quarters, but the seats are quite spacious.
        The fighter uses TL10 tech [Oct. 95 errata sheet] with the reactionless
    engine and the hyperdrive from Space.
