I'm on my phone. [member="Ayden Cater"] can probably link you, though.

 

[sabrina]

[member="Arrbi Betna"] cheers, as it does screw up the design of that ship a bit. As it was meant to be able to do both, speed meant it could take on the fighters, and big guns meant it do some damage to capital ships.

Quote from the Turbolaser Wookiepedia page

"Turbolasers were the primary weapons of capital ships. They were used for ship-to-ship combat or, in some cases, planetary bombardment. A single blast from a turbolaser could completely incinerate a fully shielded starfighter; however, due to their slow turret traverse and an equally slow period of charging up and cooling down, using turbolasers against fighters proved to be highly ineffective because fighters were too fast and small for a good target lock due to a slower rate of fire than point-defense laser cannons."

can you recommend a weapon system to keep close to cannon so it can be modified, once the ship section back up again

 

[Saera Willamina Savan]

[member="sabrina"], [member="Arrbi Betna"], If I may interject.

The problem, Sabrina, isn't that it's "game tech." It's that the originals had heavy precision lasers whereas yours has standard turbolasers or something like that (IIRC). The degree of accuracy, as compared to canon, is substantially reduced.

Also,

if you intended to be good at anti-craft and capital warfare, instead of being specialized in one area it's been divided between both evenly and mediocrely. That's just the nature of making a ship. There is no ship that is great at everything... well, maybe a freighter, but that's on a very small scale of combat.

 

[Captain Larraq]

Even if it had fastmount turbolasers or light fastmount turbolasers, targeting a starfighter would still be beyond its capability.

It's always been that way. Its a fairly simple balancing aspect. Point defense deals with light craft and capital weaponry deals with capital ships. Point defense doesnt bother the heavy shields and armor of capital ships and turbolasers lack the accuracy to hit starfighters.

because it wouldnt exactly be fair to the starfighter pilots if you could just instant-kill them by bringing a ship 5-10 times their size.

 

[sabrina]

I got an idea when tech reopened, will sort this flaw out then

 

[Saera Willamina Savan]

[member="Captain Larraq"]
Nope, the canon had standard precision laser cannons, not turbolasers. Unless you were referring to something else. In which case, never mind. ._.;

I'd honestly suggest just sticking with the canon layout if anti-starfighter is what you're looking to do. It's a very small ship anyways so it's not going to be as useful in capital warfare as contemporary battleships anyways.

 

[sabrina]

[member="Captain Larraq"] when has war ever been fair, it not cricket you know.

anyway back onto subject go team ordo.

 

[Anija Betna]

[member="sabrina"]

If anyone should be raising issue, it would be our actual opponent, [member="Darth Veles"]. If he wishes to argue the matter, please let him do so for himself.

 

[sabrina]

@anjia ordo I am in same ship, and will be coming up soon, so wanted to figure out way. That and I just learned some thing about ship design

 

[Captain Larraq]

[member="sabrina"]

this isn't war. it's roleplay. those who don't play fair have to play with Tefka's dungeon troll.

 

[Arrbi Betna]

[member="sabrina"]
You better bring another corvette. You outnumber us nearly 10:1 on length alone, but we'll still shoot you down. May wanna come prepared, I don't have a spare parachute to give you.

 

[Anija Betna]

[member="sabrina"]
Really? Your last post stated you were with [member="Ordo"], so which is it..?

 

[sabrina]

[member="Arrbi Betna"] I am not going to do that, I started in fury. I stay in one, other wise I would be meta gaming. Though it would be good way learning from a design flaw.

[member="Captain Larraq"] rping yes I play fair, I will take the hit. Though it is still war so, no I will use any advantage I can get, as in the real world.

 

[sabrina]

[member="Anija Ordo"], I am at [member="Ordo"] side at the moment but I will be going back in the sky soon, currently just landed.

 

[Ordo]

You're all playing a game.

 

[Arrbi Betna]

[member="Ordo"]
I know. I'm just pointing out they brought a really big knife to a gun fight
