StarCitizen:M80

The M80 is a heavy fighter designed by StarCitizen:Origin Jumpworks. Debuting a true focus on combat performance previously unheard of from Origin , the M80 combines interceptor-rated flight tuning and performance in the heavy fighter class with the incredible design aesthetic expected from Origin. Ship components essential to the ship's functionality are presented internally for direct repair, with lower priority components accessible externally for when combat has run its course.<ref name="M80Store">Template:Cite RSI</ref><ref name="M80Launch">Template:Cite RSI</ref><ref name="DCS">Star Citizen Live | DefenseCon Showcase.
