Armament:

• Forward
  4 Heavy Laser Cannons
• 2 Heavy Ion Cannons

Squadron:

• 12 in a Squadron

Special Features:

• 1 "Defender" Deflector Shield Generator, a shield generator that can take a significant amount of punishment from its foes
• 1 Charged Hull Plating, allowing a significant, but temporary reduction in damage inflicted to the hulls
• 1 Standard Navicomputer, requiring the pilot to manually input the coordinates for their location, requiring extensive knowledge or access to knowledge of the hyperlanes and features of the galaxy. Coordinates can be externally inputted by a friendly station or capital ship.
• 1 TriLuna 60MGS Stardrive and Hyperdrive System
• 1 Advanced Life Support Systems, featuring a near-perfect atmospheric air filtering and recycling system
• 1 Tensor Field Generator and Inertial Compensators, assisting in maintaining the structure of the starfighter despite high-G forces within gravity wells
• 1 Hypermatter Annihilation Reactor (Power Output: > 1.08E21 W)
• 2 Nubian Creveld-1 Radial Ion Drives
• 1 Extensive Sensor and Communication Arrays

Structures:

• 1 Cockpit, the area in which the navigational systems and central control of the ship's propulsion system lies.
• 4 Storage Units, storage units that allow the Furaribi to carry equipment, supplies, and weaponry for its pilot

Maneuverability: 3
Speed Rating: 3
Hyperdrive Class: 3

Strengths:
+ Durable and resilient hull, coupled with molecular shields which make it a superior defensive ship that can take a beating
+ Large storage space fast hyperdrive, and extensive sensor arrays allows the starship to fulfill a great long-distance reconnaissance purpose
Weaknesses:
- Inferior speed and maneuverability to dedicated space superiority fighters, making it more susceptible to "swarm" tactics or interceptors and dependent on capital ship or interceptor support

Production Cost: 90,000 credits

• Material Cost: 27,000 credits
• Manufacturing Cost: 54,000 credits
• Labor Cost: 3,000 credits
• Assembly Cost: 6,000 credits

Description:
The Furaribi-class Defender, unlike its sister the Furaribi-class Starfighter, is a heavy assault starfighter used by the Inari Shogunate. It serves as the main backbone for the naval force of the Inari Shogunate and is the main staple produce of Izanami Ironworks. Unlike most Inari Shogunate designs, aesthetics have been spared for greater production efficacy and speed, allowing the Furaribi-class Defender to be produced rapidly to meet the Inari Shogunate's increasing demand.

Due to the large array of communication and sensor systems, independent hyperdrive, large storage space and highly sophisticated hull and military-grade shields, the Furaribi-class Defender is used for a variety of purposes: a front-line heavy assault starfighter, a long-range reconnaissance vessel, and an armed escort for cargo freighters. This is all due to the Furaribi-class Defender's reputation for being extremely durable under all situations, allowing it to be forced into different roles regardless of its original construction.

The Furaribi-class Defender is classically known to be paired with two Furaribi-class Starfighters in combat situations, although that has been recently eclipsed in favor of simply having more Defenders as the Izanami Shogunate is able to exceed the demand of officers within the Inari Shogunate.


Development Thread:

• None

Intent: To create a standard starfighter for the Inari Shogunate to use for its navy. Its nothing out of the ordinary, and not meant to be a super edgy, combat superior starfighter. The only key point is its highly defensive nature (strong hull, strong shields) in lieu of combative strength.

Awesome. Pending Admin Approval. Thanks! [member="Spencer Jacobs"]

There's a few problems:

It's mass produced with;

-A thermal shield generator, something that was only ever used on a capital ship
-A super navicomputer with "an extensive map of most, if not all, hyperlanes and features in the galaxy" (Most starfighters have like a half dozen coordinates in their navicomputers, if they have hyperdrive storage at all)
-30 meters in size with the speed and maneuverability virtually untouched. (If I remember right there is another starfighter that is similar to this in the approve factory. But unlike yours it's slowed by its size)

You also need to give some legit weaknesses: "Training and Expertise" isn't a weakness that can be properly RP'd unless you're going to purposely screw up. Please provide a weakness that balances the starfighter.

These items need to be fixed/balanced before this gets approved. [member="Kitsune"]

1) Thermal shields have been changed
2) Super navicomputer has been demoted to a standard navicomputer, requiring manually inputted codes (whether that be by the pilot or a starship)
3) Size has been reduced, speed bumped up to 3, weakness of being slower and less maneuverable than other craft

Approved.
