DESCRIPTION
The Dauntless heavy cruiser is a formidable ship of the line and one of the largest capital ships the original Rebel Alliance ever fielded. Unlike most SoroSuub capitals which tend to have an antipracy or patrol focus the Dauntless is meant for frontline combat. It is a sleek weapons platform intended to take on star destroyers and saw significant use during the course of the Galactic Civil War and Yuuzhan Vong War to name but a few. While not as enduring as the KDY wedge design this star cruiser's slender profile is evocative of Rendili's Dreadnought-class and the Mandalorian Kandosii-type before it.

Many older models are still in use by backwater system defense forces however SoroSuub continues to manufacture the Dauntless with new cutting edge technology for use by the Sullustan Home Guard.

Hangar Allocations:

• Starfighters: 4 squadrons
• Support Craft: 2 squadrons

The maximum number of squadrons for an Average rating on a ship with the length of 1250 meters is Five (5). You've got six (6) squadrons allocated. I would suggest either reducing this by one (1), changing the Hangar Rating to High and adjust the other ratings to reflect this. As well, you could increase the overall size of the ship to to 1500 meters, which would give you eight (8) squadrons at the Average rating.

Hangar Space

: (Please provide the amount of fighters/support craft this submission can hold in it's hangar by count of Squadrons, which hold 12 average Starfighters. The higher your squadron count, the lower your Armament and number of advanced systems should be. )

1000m [Base: 1 | Very Low: 3 | Low: 4 | Average: 5 | High: 7 | Very High: 9 | Extreme: 11]
1500m [Base: 2 | Very Low: 4 | Low: 6 | Average: 8 | High: 10 | Very High: 12 | Extreme: 15]
2000m [Base: 2 | Very Low: 5 | Low: 8 | Average: 11 | High: 14 | Very High: 17 | Extreme: 20]

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns and tag me when you've made the necessary changes. Thanks!

I thought being halfway between 1000 and 1500 would allow me the leeway for an extra squadron. I didn't realize we're expected to round down. I've fixed the link and dropped a support squadron.

 

[Beltran Rarr]

Miel Tevv

As far as I know (and I'm still learning), there isn't really an allowance for this. So I've always gone with rounding down. I'm going to send this over to John Locke for final approval. He may be able to shed some more light on the matter as well. Thanks for working with me on this!

 

[Miel Tevv]

John Locke

Tweaked those gun count numbers down like we discussed. Proceed with the secondary at your leisure.

 

[Beltran Rarr]

Okay, John Locke , looks like things have been tweaked to your specs. Sending it back to you for final approval.

Market status field added. I had forgotten about the custom sensor tech, they were ORC affiliated. Seems like a hassle to bother the writer about something I didn't even remember was there, so I stripped them out. Regarding the permissions field there is one in the OOC area, is it not in the proper order?

Re-approved.
