Sure, it's expensive. Yeah, it prolly isn't worth it, but I loves me some interceptors. Call this a tribute to the MiG-25 Foxbat.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
The Mikoyan-Gurevich Design Bureau was once one of the finest and most well
known producer of aircraft in the world over a millennium ago when Humanity was
still confined to Terra. The ages, however, were not terribly kind to the
company. It remained alive only through production of various conventional
aircraft, mostly for use by planetary defense forces and militia units. In
2950, it moved it's industry from Terra to the world of Carbonis, where it
would remain, still grasping at straws to stay alive. The company finally got
a break in 3061.
The FWL government issued a set of specifications in that year for a medium
weight, high speed interceptor for use on board Dropships and Warships who
needed to destroy incoming fighters and bombers quickly and as far away from
them as possible. In February of 3062, Mikoyan-Gurevich unveiled the MiG-45
Exo/Endo-Atmospheric Interceptor, known to the bureau as the 'Fangtooth'. The
MiG-45 is the company's first foray into the Aerospace industry, and
hopefully, not it's last, though they are taking a huge risk with the amount
of funding they have put into the project. They can only hope it will pay off.
==Capabilities:==
The MiG-45 is about one thing: speed. The Fangtooth can achieve the fastest
possible speed for a craft of it's weight, a feat achieved only by a few other
aircraft. With the goal of engaging enemy craft at distances far away from the
airbase or ship the Fangtooth was launched from, the Fangtooth uses a massive
385 XL Fusion power plant, comprising nearly half of the craft's weight. As a
result, armor protection had to be cut to a light six tons, meaning the
Fangtooth is not much of a dog fighter, but because of the extreme speed, the
Fangtooth has succeeded, however slightly, in the interceptor role it was
designed for.
The MiG-45 is armed with racks of long and short range missiles mounted
underneath both wings of the craft as it's main weapons, offering the greatest
arc of fire. Intended to close to short range as soon as possible, the main
armament consists of two Streak SRM-6 racks with three tons of ammunition. The
guided capabilities of the short range missiles offers the Fangtooth good
firepower when the enemy is close at hand. Intended to be used when closing to
SRM range, the Fangtooth is also armed with two LRM-5 racks. A single ER Small
Laser acts as it's only defense when the missiles run dry.
==Deployment==
The MiG-45 was tested extensively in the time it went from a single prototype
in 3062 to being approved for limited production in late 3065. Numbers of the
Fangtooth remain relatively low due to the expensive nature of the power
plant, with most being allocated to worlds on the border with the Capellan
Confederation.

I think that you could get better performance out of smaller chassis, this reminds me of the Black Lanner, which I tired to replace with my Shadowdancer omni.
with 40t chassis you could get this
9/14 speed
SI would stay at 9
8 tons 280 XL engine
10 double heat sinks
3 tons cockpit
4 tons of fuel
6 tons of ferro-aluminium armor
19 tons of weapons
(Two MML 7s + Artemis IV with 3 tons of ammo and three ER medium lasers for example. The MMLs while having less ammo can do the same damage in short firefight and there are strong backup guns.)
I used less fuel since I view interceptors as engage, kill, fly home type of fighter. Not meant to move too far from it's base. The ammo load corresponds with that, 1t of LRMs is used as the fighter approaches and two tons of SRMs should be enough to carry you through the dogfight.
Original configurtion is also easy to mimic as well and you would still have something to play with.
