Some opinions of mine; comment away.

1) Thunderbolt's CAF should be lowered to +3.
2) I know this is not the Eldar revision, but this affects the Imperial one also: should Nightwing's CAF be raised by 1?

The new units:
Lightning Fighter
The STC templates for lightning were only recently discovered and it has only started to enter service in the Imperial navy. This and the fact that it requires more advanced technologies to build than the Thunderbolt makes it comparatively rare unit. The Lightning is more agile than its predecessor, the Thunderbolt, and is better dogfighter. it is armed with two lascannons (count as linked) and a long barrelled autocannon.

Marauder Destroyer
The desroyer variant of the Marauder was originaly developed for low level operation at night time. It is even more heavily armed than the Marauder and as a consequence even more ponderous. However, any ground units will regret facing its wrath.
