			Easily the best fighter you can play with in Unification War. The gun mounts are better than the Shrike, Falcon, and Kestrel. Afterburner is decent, and the Mustang Alpha maneuvers exceptionally well. Using linked P-16s or P-22s makes for easy late-game kills of enemy fighters.}}

	The Mustang Alpha is one of the newest space fighters to be developed by the UNE, and it is quickly becoming the de facto standard throughout the solar system. Better armed and armored than the Falcon or the Shrike, it also boasts a more powerful reactor and a completely new sensor array of the kind previously seen only on much larger ship classes. These improvements make the Mustang Alpha a fierce foe to any who would challenge it in combat.

	One handy feature of the Mustang Alpha in a dogfight is the tight mounting of its guns into the nose, ~~almost along~~ the centreline of the ship and just under the player's eye level, allowing the player to almost 'point and shoot' and target close-up shots much quicker than ships whose weapons are spaced more apart.

	Players used to relying on CMs to avoid secondariness will need to change habits with the ~~Mustang~~ Alpha, which only carries a maximum of two. Fortunately its relative manoeuvrability for a TVWP ship makes tight turns (and quick bursts from the afterburner if you can spare it) an effective replacement tactic.
