Given that the Starfury exists, I'd say that, having been developed in the environment of UF, the Starfury has been designed to take advantage of all the neato starfighter tech available- shields, et al.

At a guess, I'd also say that the UF Starfury compares to its competition the same way the B5 one does. That is, reasonably tough and fast, tremendously overgunned and stupidly agile. Either a well armed medium or a light heavy.

If I'm right, then either Amanda is some kinda pilot or the Lightning is on the big nasty end of the heavy spectrum. Or both.

Blessed be.
