M4+

M4+ ships are light fighters, slower, with heavier armaments and defences than the regular M4s, they usually don't fit the interceptor role but make a good alternative to the expensive M3-class ships for fighter fleets at the cost of some potency. They constitute lethal symbiotes for carrier craft.

M4+ include:

• Argon Elite
• Boron Pike
• Paranid Theseus
• Split Asp
• Teladi Kite
• Yaki Tonbo
• OTAS Solano

Note that an M4+ designation does not exist in the game. These ships are referred to as M4 class ships in-game, however they are slower, more potent and better defended than their counterparts so they are given an alternate designation in the community.
