Hiring Ship designers for a major projecct

[Taeli Raaf]

So, plans are in motion in my head to start production of a new Star Destroyer, but I'm going to need help with producing this. To that end, Krayt Industries is looking to hire shipwrights and people wanting to help design it over a few threads.

Only stipulation being this is for the One Sith, so no Republic helpers lol

I own a small company called Mystic Tekk, and would be more than happy to sign a PMC with Krayt industries.

This is the current design I'm going with, but definitely would be open to ideas for changes

Room for a third?

I'll take all the help offered of course

I would personally recommend utilizing mass drivers instead of the turbolasers simply for the fact that they do more damage to the hull immediately. The ion cannons are then more effective at taking out the shields and other power systems. Whether you want to replace the long-range turbolasers or the standard ones is up to you.

Also, for ease when engaging multiple smaller targets, I would recommend divesting your guns. With how you've got the ship designed, with so few individual turrets and all the guns mounted on on only a few turrets, the loss of one or more of them will significantly impact the ship's ability to defend itself. I recommend an overall revised armament of the following:

10 Quad Heavy Long Range Mass driver batteries
10 Quad Long Range Ion cannon batteries
80 Standard Mass Drivers (grouped in twenty batteries of four)
60 Standard Ion Cannons (grouped in fifteen batteries of four)
80 Flak Cannons (grouped in forty batteries of two, with twelve along the main structure of the ship and four covering the engines, the rest line the hull)
60 Point Defense Lasers

This allows you to definitively engage targets with full firepower, while still letting yourself divest your ships' firepower on many more targets than the previous armament could adequately engage.

I definitely see where you are coming from, and really like the idea

Question: Is the speed scale based on the highest number being the fastest or slowest? In other words would a star destroyer or interceptor be faster (Sorry, I do not normally work with ships)

[member="Vi'kas Mirtis"]

Higher the number, the slower a ship is

 

[Lord Ajihad]

[member="Darth Arcanix"]
Got it.

Now give me the general purpose of this ship. If there was to be a fight, would this ship be leading the charge, or sitting back and commanding the other ships of the fleet?

 

[Taeli Raaf]

[member="Vi'kas Mirtis"]

It can fill both roles, just like any Star Destroyer

 

[Lord Ajihad]

[member="Darth Arcanix"]

Ok, I think I have a feel for what you want. Would you like me to start a thread negotiating a PMC, or just use this one?

 

[Taeli Raaf]

[member="Vi'kas Mirtis"]

a different one, this is to hash out the idea and see who else wants to help

 

[Lord Ajihad]

[member="Darth Arcanix"]

Ok, got it. So, is there anything special that sets this ship apart from other destroyers, or no?

not really no lol, first foray for my company into a ship like this though

Would be glad to do a thread with you over it.

 

[Taeli Raaf]

[member="Enigma"]

I'd be happy for any assistance, hoping to use this project and the accompanying threads as the project for tier advancement to be perfectly blunt lol

Well... If you start a thread, and you and I go back and forth to develop the ship, we can get things proceeding onwards nice and quickly. I also need to get a dev thread done, so this could easily serve double-duty.
