ADVANCED SYSTEMS

N/A

Strengths:

• Large Hangar Bay: The hangar bay of the Billet II-Class makes up a large portion of the ship's mass, allowing it to carry 7 starfighter squadrons into battle.
• Troop and Vehicle Deployer: The Billet II-Class can carry a decent compliment of vehicles and Republic soldiers. However, deploying these units will require a Billet II to sacrifice some of its starfighter squadrons for troop transport vessel squadrons.

Weaknesses:

• Unimpressive Armament: The Billet II only has two heavy megamasers for combating capital ships, and only possesses thirty point defense laser cannons for fending off enemy fighters. This makes the Billet II's offensive combat potential almost exclusively limited to its starfighter compliment.
• Sub-par Defenses: The Billet II's hull plating and shields are weaker than what an average cruiser sports.

Description:

Using the chassis of the original Billet cruiser's design, the Billet II is a largely improved upon and massed produced variant of the Billet-class Carrier. Advancements in Republic Remnant ship building technology have improved upon many weaknesses of the original design, bringing the Billet II's speed and maneuverability up to par with the average military cruiser.

However, the amount of power needed to run the Billet II's engines means that the Billet II is still incapable of powering any offensive weaponry worth blinking at, and its defensive shielding is still less powerful than that normally seen on the average cruiser.

• Minimum Crew Compliment: 540
• Optimal Crew Compliment: 1,620
• Passenger Capacity: 1,000 (200 pilots, 800 soldiers)
• Consumables: 1 Year
• Cargo Capacity: 6,200 Metric Tons

Under Review.

[member="Mereel Vaun"], this looks pretty solid for the most part, except that it's one rating too high. As always, you can balance this out by reducing production, lowering a rating, or adding a significant weakness.

Changed defenses to "Low" and edited the description to remove the mention of the defenses being average
