Did you make it? If so, replace Vamp with it. I think the many guns kinda fit its lasers.

Well look at its firing rate, marathon. If its current two(?) weapons were split into eight twins, then the reload time of every single gun could simply be 1/8th of the current one. :)

We could make an emp fighter. Vamp with lightning guns or slowbeams would own.
ZK needs a higher weight fighter. 600-900 cost specialist Anti-air.

We don't need any aa heavier than vamp. In fact, I don't think we would need another air superiority fighter.

Why would we not need heavier AA? In team games when both sides have air, the battle for the skies involves spamming vamps.
An alternative fighter would be interesting to have. Especially one that brings special abilities to the dogfight.

it would be nice to have another unit like vamp, but theres one problem, they cant attack structures(the source of units, production facilities, etc). Vamp type units would only be used as countermeasures, but if we introduced a fighter with speacial abilities, what would we do with them after they pwned some air units?

What do you do with vamps after you have pwned air units? You keep them out of harms way.
If you have no more air targets, you have air superiority. Time to build bombers.
Then you can send them in together with your bombers on raids to escort against enemy air and decoy enemy AA.
This is the same.
EDIT:
When you have two air players facing off, vamps are key. They are not countermeasures. You use them to kill enemy vamps, bombers and anything else you can hit.

tbh, I don't see the point of the avenger at all. The Vamp is good at what it does. The avenger is just something that dies to 2 MT and does less than 36dps to land.
When two air players duel, combat comes down to spamming vamps. That could probably be made more interesting, buts its not a priority really.

Vamp has a model. Possibly could be used for Nuke bomber or somesuch, but ideally it should match the other fighter/bomber models to some extent.

fun idea
make it some kind of tank killer fighter like this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairchild_Republic_A-10_Thunderbolt_II
so it can't attack air, but kill tanks easily with his maschine guns.
After 2-3 maschine gun runs it must be rearmed or so.
