So the stats are something like: ?
Raptor Air Superiority fighter.
Size: 3 (2) - Stealth 1.
Powerplant: HMT (Technically, it's a FPP for DS/SG)
Movement: Aerospace/VTOL
Armour: 3/2
RFAC/2 (Forward - AA - Enh) - 4
GMS/L (AA - Sup); [Krait AAM] - 2
GMS/H (AG - Enh); [Hellfire GMSM] - 4+1 (extra 4 missiles)
External Payload - 4 (GMS/H (AG-enh), freefall bomb load or interface
module)
I don't have DS or SG with me, so this is from memory with some rules
tweaks (the extra ammo).
Unless you're using an in-house weapon system, there isn't currently a
GMS/M; only /L or /H.

They can carry a heavier payload than
spaceborne fighters and can interface from space on their first mission
to the
planet with the help of an interface pack which limits their normal
payload by
50%.
They cannot operate in space per se, other than conduct the interface.
On the
ground they have superior manueverability at half the cost of a
spaceborne
fighter. They are VTOL and can operate from unimporved strips with
limited
support. The Raptor carries a RAFC and a GMS AAM (the KLosrait) which
can guide
via IR or radar.The krait has a normal engagement range of 30km, which
is halved
against the Kra'Vak in the early part of the war. The Krait is capable
of being
launched 70 degrees offbore. 4 are carried in internal bays on the side
of the
A/C.
For air to ground operations the Raptor has an internal bay which can
carrier
8x1000 lb bombs of Hellfire GMS/M in a rotary launcher. The Raptor also
has four
external hardpoint where it can carry an additional eight Hellfires or 4
1000lb
bombs. These can be either gravity bombs, CBUs, or or LGBs. The
hellfires can be
configures for anti-area defense.
