Description: Coupling extremely powerful powerplants with extremely light and durable materials, the Stargoddess achieves post-interceptor speeds seen in only a few personal starcraft in galactic history. Built for comfort and personal use, it retains absolute minimal weaponry with the second-stage variant housing a meager two twelve-millimeter rail guns. However, it boasts incredibly intuitive internal systems and a hyperdrive core that would make Han Solo jelly. There isn't much else to the Stargoddess; it is performance, comfort and elegance mastered - the Reventon of the the civilian spacecraft field.

Let me know when the mining thread is complete.

[member="Ayden Cater"] - I think it's as done as it's gonna get. Both threads are well past the minimum post limit, however.

Alright then. Let's get to work. [member="Særa Ayña Savan"]

• First off; this thing is -way- too big to be a starfighter. Starfighters run in the range of 10 - 15 meters. The B-Wing tips out at near 17 meters, and it's more of a heavy starfighter/bomber. This has dimensions more like a freighter than a starfighter, and that would jack with the speed and maneuverability. 29 meters is almost 100 feet long. A real-world F16 Fighter is 15 meters long. By comparison, a C-130 Hercules transport is 29 meters long. The dimensions are going to need to be revised.
• I'm incredibly leery about this weapon. It's listed as having an equivalency of six capital guns. For comparison, the only starfighter on the board that has a full capital gun has only a single other laser cannon for defense. And this thing is gonna have a weapon six times more powerful?

Really? You've approved most of my 20+m. starfighers. xD
I mean, I'll change it, but... lol.

It was MADE for this one and only starfighter. They made me list it as guns, but it's not a capital ship weapon - they approved it FOR this starfighter. Basically, it's six cannons and this doesn't have any warheads so that should be reasonable, weapon's own description/statistics notwithstanding.

I am aware of that mistake, and it is just that; a mistake. As I said, a fighter in Star Wars is expected to be between 10 and 15 meters long. That's how it is. I don't care about the one or two one-offs that might be bigger than that. That is the target size. If it's bigger than that, there'd better be a reason for it.

As far as the gun, I wasn't there when it was made. I didn't talk with Rasho about it. If I had been consulted, I'd have mentioned that such a weapon was grossly overpowered for a starfighter. Starfighters do not field capital ship-grade weaponry for a reason. Their power plants just are not big enough and cannot produce the necessary energy in order to power such weapons. My recommendation would be to have a Tech judge pull it back out and re-examine it, because Rasho didn't same himself that it was six capital guns. That seems to have been a you thing. And if that's the case, you need to fix that. You have it labeled there as six capital guns and just six laser cannons here. Consistency is a must.

Well, it's in the 16-17 range now. I scaled it down by a fifth. The spare change is because the barrel(s) extend out.

EDIT: I've moved my questions to the AMA thread instead of here.
Just waiting on the mod request to the original Hyperlance sub to go through now.
For the record, it's nowhere described as being the equivalent of six caps, just that it costs six caps on a capital ship.

Please Achive this until further notice, when the thing with my wording with the main weapon is sorted out.​

No reason keeping a hung submission up if it can't get approved, taking space for more important ones.​
