Live Poll: Congratulations Starfighter, What Small Fighter Ship Do You Want to Command
Poll Page: https://www.imdb.com/poll/sSnoKE-STT4/
List Page: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls501569145/
(In my best Centauri’s voice* impersonation) “Greetings Starfighters! You have been recruited by the United Star League of the Star League, Starfleet, The Rebel Alliance, Battlestar Galactica, The Brown Coats, and all the other good guys to defend the frontier against combined the Evil Axis of Power of The Empire, The First Order, The Alliance, The emperor Ming, the Cylons, the Ko-Dan armada and every other evil space force. As Starfighters, you be allowed your choice of one to four manned small fighter spaceships to pilot. So which one do you want?” “If you don’t see what you, just described it to me or my associates, Hans Solo and Chewbacca over here and will see if we can procure you one. If it belongs to the other side, shall we say, not admitting to anything illegal or unethical, of course, shall we say “Liberate”** you one?” “Just remember: 1, always trust Centauri, and 2, these ships are for fighting only. They don’t come with beds, toilet or a kitchen like a space yacht. I often wonder how Skywalker survived that long trip to Dagobah in that X-wing fighter with no bed, or toilet. Just food packs. Barbaric.”
* As a salute to Robert Preston’s last film performance in The Last Starfighter (1984).
** AKA: steal from the enemy.

@dgranger,
Great idea for a poll. This website may be helpful, especially under the categories Anime & Manga, Film and Live-Action TV:
Space Fighter
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SpaceFighter
Excerpt from web page.
Babylon 5:
Star Trek: Largely avoided Space Fighters in favour of larger ships, but they did show up on some rare occasions, mostly in Deep Space Nine. The Maquis used small ships somewhat similar to Space Fighters, and some rarely-seen old Bajoran ships fit the bill. The Dominion had ships called fighters, but these were really small warships, and had enough space for a full-sized crew. Usually, it seemed large ships in Star Trek had weapons both accurate and powerful enough to easily take out fighters, no matter how small and manoeuvrable (which would certainly explain why they're rarely seen). ...

The Death Glider is the primary fighter spacecraft used by the Goa'uld. They are capable of both atmospheric and space flight and combat. They are primarily armed with two staff cannons and piloted by two Jaffa.

Suliban cell ships were the primary ship types used by the Cabal during the mid-22nd century. They were armed with particle weapons and equipped with cloaking devices.

Done. I’m still not done with this poll yet. I still got the two Independence Day films to do.
You got any suggestions?

I totally forgot about Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers.
I am not sure if the name of the fighter is Thunderfighter:

Please correct:
As Starfighters, you will be allowed your choice of one to four manned small fighter spaceships to pilot.
#1: its movements ... does spend
#2: takes care of the ship’s functions which may be a weakness if the droid gets hit.
torpedoes
#9: its wing tips
#12: technically
#13: (Sorry, but this is the best shot.)
#17: torpedoes ... Dan Dassow
