Masters of Flight

The Masters of Flight is a ship series created in conjunction with the flight-sim Arena Commander. It is a series of ships that have a different loadout and livery from the stock ship. They are created in honour of a famous pilot who made a name for themselves in the UEE Navy, as a bounty hunter, or as a famed dogfighter. Each ship boasts a powerful weapon loadout that is focused more on dogfighting from the stock ship.[1]
