Description: Due to the nature of the envoy vessel, it suffers from limited firepower and weak deflector shields, but gains an upper-hand with its advanced sensors and long-range communications. The Envoy has been designed in mind for diplomatic missions where a show of arms is unnecessary and counter-productive.

The sensors are capable of mapping out planetary landscapes from orbit, and presenting landscapes as a hologram on a command console. The long-range communications are used to transfer messages from planet to planet, allowing for advanced warnings of the envoys arrival, and for emergency beacons to be dispatched in the event of attack.

Development Thread: N/A
Intent: To provide a diplomatic transport for members of the Order of the Moth

Maneuverability Rating: 6
Speed Rating: 3
Hyperdrive Class: 3

I realize that one of the ship's strengths is supposed to be it's speed, but a speed of 3 is a bit high without a solid development thread behind it (probably at least 20 posts for limited production). Without a development thread, make the speed "6", which is still fairly fast for its size.

Hangar: 1

It this one squadron? If so, what kind of ships? Is it one other ship? Ground vehicles, etc...

EDIT: One other thing just hit me:

Manufacturer: New Holstice

Generally planets cannot produce ships. I'd find either a company to produce this (you can use Haven Shipyards if you'd like), or change this to the faction it's going to be affiliated with. If you chose the faction, make sure to hyperlink it to the faction homepage.

I didn't understand the squadron count thing. It wasn't very straight-forward. It made it sound like how many of these ships would be in a squadron - not how much could fit in this ship. I've edited.

[member="Nephthys"], looks good to me. For corvettes and up, the "Hangar" section details how many ships or vehicles it can hold inside of it. This amount is usually listed in a squadron format, such as a "1 squadron of X-wings (12 fighters)", etc. [member="Reshmar"]?

Though fast, it is not as agile

This is not the case per the submission it had a maneuvering of 6 which average to good for a ship this size. Normal for a ship this size would be 7

Lower it to 8 if you still want to use maneuvering as a weakness or remove this
