Republic Ship overhaul

[Syn]

Alright this is mainly for our members who are good with tech. The Republic military is laughably outdated compared to most. I want to see some idea most for ship names and if anyone has images that can match the Republic please bring them about. Hell if you have an idea for a ship post it here and lets try to get our forces improved. This goes for trooper armor if @[member="Cody Jorin"] has any ideas as he is the highest ranking military member.

Well, for a light patrol craft, perhaps Marra Mesyne-class patrol ship, named after a famous Sector Ranger.

E-wings could be commonplace. They are still dated but could replace all x-wings, y-wings as multipurpose fighters imho, till we have something else up. I am using them now more in that capacity. They are jump capable as with all 'wing' starfighters, meaning they don't need a hangar only intermittently to resupply, meaning you can bring lots of them when you need them.

We REALLY need a decent bomber. I was going to go into R&D and make one but I am still waiting on someone else helping out here, this is a precursor to the bomber, meant to follow it up. We can design both in this thread imho.

Before I proceed. That company arion is open for everyone to take over, it's got a 6 man board for that very purpose, which Kei isn't even on yet, he's a paddi and shouldn't be in positions of power yet. So hence, he's not where I can help it.

http://starwarsrp.net/topic/14840-hynator-holdings-aka-arion-technologies/?hl=arion - I know I put kei wanted to take it over, but I can scrap that idea and have the republic take it over.

Anyway pm me if anyone wants to get involved in that design thread, or just jump in, either works.

I am looking and working on setting up a cheaper mass produced ship we can bring anywhere. Firekilns were in numbers equal to star destroyers. Have a few of those at 950m, decent sized but designed for weapons and speed.

I want to get a decent jedi craft, well okay we actually did get a good deal on mini paraxiums from Silk holdings with the http://starwarsrp.net/topic/7915-tempus-ardet-class-bulk-freighter/ it is great for small mobile training ships we can travel on.

We need new star destroyers or at least more versitile ones, I have an idea for several variants to compliments the Remembrance class

A command and control class with less fire power but greater emphasis on locking down an area, crystal grav traps, gravity wells and jammer suites for it

A heavy gun ship variety that contains more space for fighters and weapons then most others

A trooper transport with more drop pods for rapid insertion of the military

We need support ships of course, it would be nice to have a stealth ship if we can get some reflec and nightshadow hull plating.

The troop transports are the bread and butter I was desiging

This is a ship to ship boarding craft:

It uses boarding pincers to break fortifications like a,
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Droch-class_boarding_ship

Only nastier because its using combined arms plus a rapid burn technique, to just slam home. Flashbanging a ship's corridors or burning them, gassing them etc to make entry easier.

What was coming next was a heavy shielded bomber in front of it, think a phalanx in space, heavy slow moving with high PD weapons. Then a ground boarding craft behind it, the ground boarding craft i was going to suggest be able to operate as a command and control bunker, with artillery support when it lands.

-edit
If you've ever watched starship troopers you'll have a gist of the bunker craft, their landing craft, only a bit more sturdy and slow moving.

I like it, I'll have to consult our ship experts... well okay Sirella and Ashin aren't always on but they are the best when it comes to ships and balance.

 

[Kei Amadis]

Great, any changes feel free to post them in the thread i've linked.

Also I'll probably have to tune it down a bit from gassing to knock out gas or flaming to - flash bangs. We are the republic after all, and have a certain desire to preserve life. That could all be talked out in the design thread I've linked.

 

[Syn]

Well there are many ways to preserve life I prefer the one that lets Republic soldiers go home to their wives and babies instead of explaining why daddy couldn't come home after a prisoner blindly fired from a flash bang with a rocket launcher.

In what regards would you consider most of it out dated? Technology in SW moves pretty slow, and we've had established classes of warships since pretty early on in the board's creation. Given that numbers hardly matter as well why would we need a full on over haul?

 

[Syn]

@[member="Selena Halcyon"] I call it outdated because when the wipe came I barely had to restore the bulk o our ships in the factory from cache. Some personal ships but nothing too much. Technology may move slower and in some ways it does. The star star destroyer model changed little and as KotOR showed us the design has been around for even longer. I am just of the mind set to update ships much like a computer. It can last for years but update it every now and again.

That list seems pretty solid.
