==Description==
 
==Description==
Instantly recognizable by the forward swept wing design, the '''''Stingray''''' (nicknamed the ''Slantback'') is a prized fighter in the [[Inner Sphere]]. An experimental fighter just before the fall of the [[Star League]] with a wing design based upon a twenty-first-century Terran conventional fighter, the ''Stingray'' is produced by and common among [[Free Worlds League]] forces, although every [[Successor State]] - in particular the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] - has a few of the nimble fighters in inventory. Noted for maneuverability and stability, the ''Stingray'' is not fast, but it is deadly with its heavy armament.

An experimental fighter just before the fall of the [[Star League]] with a wing design based upon a 21st century Terran conventional fighter, the ''Stingray'' is produced by and common among [[House Marik]] forces, although every [[Successor State]] - in particular [[House Steiner]] - has a few of the nimble fighters in inventory.

A [[Medium_laser#Hellion_B-II|Hellion-b II]] [[medium laser]] and [[Hellion-a III]] [[large laser]] fill out each wing, while the massive [[Sunspot]] [[PPC]] is mounted in the nose.  This gives the ''Stingray'' great long range firepower, and the PPC is perfect for attacking grounded [[DropShip]]s or other armored targets.

*; F-90S : A [[2911]] [[House Steiner]] variant that replaces the [[PPC]] and one heat sink with an [[AC/5]].

*; ''Stingray'' Michael : Designed to overcome its pilot's shortcomings, the ''Stingray Michael'' removes the standard weaponry and replaces it with a [[large pulse laser]] in the nose and a pair of [[medium pulse laser]]s in each wing. To dissuade enemy pilots from following too closely, a standard [[medium laser]] is mounted in each wing facing aft. All of these weapons are integrated into a [[targeting computer]] to improve their performance. With a reduced heat curve, the ''Stingray Michael'' trades several heat sinks for additional armor.
