Strengths

Defence - Sacrificing weapons systems for heavy defense, the Gerulus-Class Carriers are floating bunkers

ELO-WS - An advanced Anti-Ordnance Weapon System, the ELO rapidly targets and fires against enemy Torpedoes, Missiles etc.

Weaknesses

Tower-Bridge - The Gerulus-Class Carriers do not have an inline bridge, making it more exposed

Armament - Offensive Armament has been severely reduced for the sake of defence

Engine Redundancy - There's only one engine. Knock it out and its a heavily armoured sitting duck

Description

Gerulus-Class Carriers are lightly-armed and heavily-armoured. With four different hangars and space for 120 Droid Fighters plus bombers and support craft, they and others provide the necessary Space-Superiority to any skirmish. The Droid Fighters can be swapped out for Transports in the case of Planetary Invasion, making Gerulus-Class Carriers an important part of any major Emergence operation.

I've got to say this is a really tight little submission, congratulations!

There are just a few things I'd like to bring to your attention.

Firstly, the standard features:

HSI / DER / EPR / AS / LFI

While all the links work, could you please put each of these on their own line and full name so it's easier for someone looking at the sub to see what you've included. This just makes it easier for other writers.

The second is a balancing thing.

You've given the ship a length of

Length - 1200m

but a hangar rating of

Hangar Space: 15 Squadrons

However, the only place a hangar allocation of 15 exists is in the 2000m level as per the line below (taken from the template).

• 2000 Meters: [Base: 3 | Very Low: 6 | Low: 8 | Average: 11 | Moderate: 13 | High: 15 | Very High: 18 | Extreme: 21]

As you can see this is for the 2000m sized Star Destroyers.

Aside from this issue the submission is perfectly balanced. This leaves us with 2 options for the submission. Firstly size the ship up to 2000m or to reduce your number of fighters. Given the current size of the ship that would mean scaling down to the 1000m level and having 9 squadrons assigned to the ship.

Please tag me back to let me know what you decide to do, or if you want any advice I'd be happy to provide that too.
