DESCRIPTION

The STADAD dropship is designed specifically for use with Scion Technologies Incorporated's STADAD droid. Both components when used together form the STADADQRF system.



The ship features room for a crew of five to operate the necessary computer systems. The rest of the ship is occupied by the STADAD Deployment System. The primary asset of this system is ten dorsal launch bays designed to launch the STADAD droids. Additional assets include the loading system which prepares STADAD droids for launch.



Each ship can carry up to fifty STADAD droids and launch ten at a time. Cool down capacity between subsequent launches is seven minutes

Exopritl , I'll be your judge for this submission as well. Again, this is entirely passable as is right now, but you have some room to increase some stats as well. This is how we figure out balance for starships:

Balance Guideline
Lengths are applied as per an Adjusted Anaxes War College System. For technical ratings, start with all values at Average for a Mass-Produced piece of technology. For every increase you should either:

• Reduce the Production value.
• Reduce another rating (e.g. increase Increase Speed while decreasing Defensive rating).
• Provide balance with genuine and significant weaknesses.
• The factory will always round down, never round up. Please keep this in mind when approaching submissions.

Many people find it easiest when first starting out to use the spreadsheet tool if they have Microsoft Excel, OpenOffice, or a similar program.


Personally, I'd consider increasing your squadron size up to at least "Very Low: 4" (though you have rating points to spend that you could easily take it to Extreme: 24 if you didn't spend points anywhere else). Otherwise, most of your capital ships won't be able to carry very many of these dropships as they are now - as each dropship will take up a whole squadron's worth of space in a hangar.

Gir Quee I updated the submission by changing the squadron count, speed, and maneuverability.
