Description: The Felucia-class missile cruiser is a ship class intended to fight enemies whose point-defense is questionable, thanks to its armament reserves comprising 100 regular missile launchers and 55 heavy launchers, each possessing their own magazines carrying a variety of ammunition. In addition, in the aftermath of Ossus, explosive-reactive armor is installed to help protect the ship against asteroids and other debris that can affect in-flight performance, and also a few tractor beams being installed to tractor objects, such as stray asteroids, out of the way. Furthermore, due to the nature of missiles, with only a finite ammunition capacity, it will be a liability in prolonged firefights, so a captain using one will have to pray for a quick victory or to otherwise use it for hit-and-run attacks. Still using the original Lothal hangar configuration, the Felucia is able to house two squadrons of fighters to defend against enemies using fighters.

However, due to the need to accommodate large magazines of ordnance, in addition to two the ability of a Felucia to carry cargo, as well as its speed, is significantly reduced, and also no heavy or long-range non-missile hardpoints have been installed. As a result, Felucias must usually be escorted when in use and won't last very long in combat if they use their missiles too quickly.

Hello, I'll be the factory judge reviewing your submission. If you have questions, please feel free to respond to this thread once we are underway.

Please add a weakness regarding your gatling turbolasers and rapid fire ion cannons, as your gatling turbolasers fire at half the range of standard turbolasers and your ion cannons can potentially drain your own ship's shields. Both of these are weaknesses in their separate submissions and need to be reflected here.

I'm not approving Extreme/High combo and this current setup at Minor. Reduce to Limited production or drop those armaments suitably and down to Very High please.

[member="Raziel"] Dropped production level (even though I do not feel that the ability to fly along nonlinear paths in hyperspace or Otherspace is of much importance in threads)...
