Ninja EDIT: The 'Milly' carries 15-tons of Fuel and a 120-rated Engine, giving it a 4/6 movement profile, while the Starblade exceeds the Seydlitz's 11/17 movement profile with it's 210-rated Engine and 8/12 movement profile. Sarna puts the Seydlitz at 5.5Gs safe burn and 85.Gs max burn.
Double Dragon Ninja EDIT: During the writing of this post, it came to light that the Starblade's weaponry is closely reminiscent of the Dagger, a 45-ton Aerospace fighter.
As noted in both the title and the corresponding aerospace fuel thread, these are the Work In Progress [WIP] Aerospace Craft in question. My apologies for the messy MegaMekLab, but I haven't invested in Heavy Metal Aero yet.
The "Starblade" is inspired by the Wing Commander movie version of the Confederate Rapier. It has a Rotary AC/2 and a trio of Small Lasers, 2 in the wings and 1 rear-facing one covering the rear-arc. A 210-rated engine gives it better speed then the Seydlitz while 6-tons of fuel gives it effectively twice the range as well. A rear-mounted CASE vents the Starblade's single ton of RAC/2 ammo out the aft section of the craft in the event of an ammo explosion while 4-tons of Standard-Grade armor give it, again, twice the protection of the Seydlitz. Two RL10 (Bomb)s mounted on each wing allow it to attack ground targets. It's tiny wings make it difficulty to maneuver in atmosphere however and the bombs are usually used against enemy Dropships. The name is taken from my favorite Arcade Rail-Shooter, Starblade.
The 'Milly' on the other hand is a technologically advanced Aerospace Craft designed for AWACS-style combat support. The Command Console and C3 Master Unit along with 4-tons of Communications equipment allow a commander to provide and receive up to the minute tactical data, while the Guardian ECM and Beagle Active Probe combine with the 3-tons of Vehicular Stealth Armor help the 'Milly' to effectively hide from and detect anything that might threaten it. Which is good, because it's entirely unarmed, both making it a sitting duck and allowing it's 10 Double Heat Sinks to dissipate the Stealth Armor's heat with impunity even at 50% capacity.
The 'Milly' fosters a slew of imaging and detection equipment ensuring anything that COULD hide from it won't be hiding for long. The Hyperspectral Imager it mounts ensures that ol' 'Milly' can find just about anything, while the High-Resolution Imager, Infrared Imager and Look-Down Radar provide supplementary support for bad weather, anti-ECM, and ferreting out infantry. It's 4-tons of Communications Equipment can enable it to sit well outside the Area of Operations if friendly Satellite coverage is handy, while the Beagle Active Probe's replay function makes the 'Milly' invaluable for training up new officers.

Nice fighters, best place for this thread would have been the Battlespace/AT2 board since that covers fighters and other AEROSPACE units...
Now is this using fusion or IC engines? Your stats leave a lot of info out.

This and the Overlord thread should be moved to the Aerospace board.
They're rather thin-skinned, and the AWACS is extremely slow, the idea might actually work a lot better on a Small Craft, minus the stealth armor.
The engines are clearly SFEs. ICEs aren't even available for Aerospace Fighters.

Oops. Sorry, didn't realize those included Designs. Noted for the future.

As I said, it wasn't clear Retry since he didn't put the info, thus why some things are important to include, you know avoiding confusion and all that.
