Ok. This was propably made before, but I have to post it. This is my Battletech tribute to the, in my opinion, most beautiful and incredible plane ever. The X-02 Wyvern from the Ace Combat series. A forward swept wing design which can fold its wings if you wan't to go real fast.

http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs49/f/2009/169/c/f/X_02C___The_Ghosts_of_Razgriz_by_BoggeyDan.pngThe X-02 Wyvern was intenvented and tested by Clan Wolf in Exile. It was constructed with the goal to create the best Space Superioty Fighter ever. The base idea for this came from the Scytha, which was also a good, but no perfect fighter. The Wyvern gets the same Thrust Ratings as the Scytha, but holds far better Armor protection. It gets forward swept wings and a vector Thrusters for better maneuvrability (House rule, Maneuvers and facing changes cost 2 less thrust points in Athmossphere and 1 less in space). But the most noticable feature is that its wings are foldable. This helps the Fighter to build up incredible amounts of speed, in shorter time (House rule in the foldmode each thrust point gives 2 Velocity instead of one).
The Wyvern is also inteded to go up to toe with the most advanced fighters of the time. Imcluding Word of Blakes Striga or Rusalka Fighters. As maneuvrable as the Striga (Moreso if the houserules are used) the Wyvern has also more Armor protection making it quite sturdy. 5 Tons of fuel gives it standard capacity fueltanks, but if the houserules are used this is plenty.
These are the base data for the Wyvern Omni Fighter.

Primary Variant of the Wyvern is intended to get Air Superioty fast, but can also be used for deadly Strafing runs. 2 Medium Pulse Lasers in the nose, and 2 Large Pulse Lasers in each wing gives it very accurate and deadly Firepower. 2 ER Meds protect the aft of the fighter. 24 Doubleheat Sinks keep it cool.

The Wyvern Charlie is something odd. Its only weaponry are twin Large Pulse Lasers in the nose of the Fighter. Why only these weapons one may ask? Well, the Charlie is intended as a bomber Variant. The Light Weaponry improves its thrust ratings to incredible 4 to 6Gs. Even with a 15 Ton Bombload it is still as meneuvrable as the Stuka.

Final Variant is Delta which uses 4 ATM 9 (2 in the nose, one in each wing). 8 Tons of ammo provide plentyful choices. Backing up the Launcher is a single ERPPC in the nose and the typical Double ER Med in the Aft.
