Strengths:

• Relatively cheap to manufacture

Weaknesses:

• Very average at most things; this isn't any fancy ship.
• Escort ship only; it won't easily be transformed or used effectively in other roles.
• Not modular; the parts used for this ship are made specifically by Dagobah shipyards only.

Description: This ship is the first of four new escort ships for the Galactic Alliance, as per part of the recent contract. Although that is its main purpose, it shall be mass-produced and readily available to the general population.

Z-C3 Hyperdrive Dual Twin-Cricket VC 52

Typically, components of a starship need to match the production level of the starship that they're on, but a starship can have a lower production than the components used.

For example, a mass produced frigate can have a mass produced hyperdrive and power generator. A one of the kind unique frigate though may have a mass produced power generator and a unique hyperdrive.

So our basic options for this are to reduce this ship's production to unique (the same level as the hyperdrive), or remove some components to match the ship's production level.

Didn't/don't understand affiliation and production, so it was made with different intentions. I just put in a modification request to be made mass produced. Will tag you if and when it is approved. Was there anything else?

 

[Gir Quee]

Cool, that should solve the production issue.

Armament: Average Defenses: Average Hangar: Very Low: 0 Maneuverability Rating: Moderate Speed Rating: Moderate

Overall, if a rating is increased above "average" (such as to "moderate"), there needs to be a commensurate drop in a different rating, a change to lower production, or the addition of a significant weakness. This means that we are 2 ratings that are too high right now.

For example, if the speed is being increased to "moderate", the maneuverability may drop to "low". Or a mass produced ship may go to "minor production" for that rating increase. Or there might be some note in that says that the ship doesn't have shields. These are all hypothetical examples, of course. You're welcome to balance it any way or combination of methods that you like.

Changed all to average. I thought that the hangar rating counted as 2 drops hence why 2 things were brought up to moderate.

Looks good from a stat's perspective. I'll admit that the hangar count isn't quite as intuitive as many of us would like (since it's based more on ship size than ship class). I don't know if you saw this or not, but there's a little Excel document that you can use at the bottom of the starship template post to kind of figure out what hangar size goes with what size and ratings.

I'm pretty much good to go on stamping this then, except for waiting on the component productions to change. Tag me with a post when that is complete.

Updated components to mass produced.

Awesome. Pending Secondary Approval. Thanks! [member="Jamie Pyne"]
