Long term stasis chamber doubles as bacta tank

Phrik Alloy Armor allows it to withstand immense damage.

Cockpit doubles as escape pod

Shadowstrike Laser Cannon system allows its frontal weapons and rear facing auto turret to shoot black laser bolts that emit no sound, and barely any detectable emissions on enemy scanners at a rapid rate for short bursts.

Possesses prototype, highly durable Solar Sailor as a back up hyperdrive, driven forward by lasers, attempting to mimic certain qualities of Count Dooku's Solar Sailor, providing a relatively slow form of back up hyperdrive, should the main one be knocked out.

Class 1 Primary Hyperdrive


Strengths:

From the shadows: This yacht possesses powerful prototype stealth laser cannons, which fire midnight black bolts that have barely any detectable emissions due to specialized lenses and power systems. The front weapons fire four shot bursts that have twice the range of a vessel this size normally, while its powerful, auto targeting turrets in the back fire a weaker but longer burst version of the front weapons, at a ten shot burst. This technology was derived from studying Kerestian Light Absorbing Cells and the Defel Mimicker technology. Light Absorbing Cell projectors around the ship (built into the solar sailor array) also allow it to create darkness around it in both atmosphere and space flight, making it difficult to spot at night and for dogfighters at visual range.

And YOU ARE OUTTA HERE!: Possesses a strange prototype stealth drive that is active for only thirty minutes. It functions by temporarily pulling them out of normal space using technology based on ancient droid stealth tech, albeit simply enlarged.

Manuverable:the craft is highly manuverable and responsive, remarkable given its armor

Survivability: The craft comes with a cockpit that doubles as a stasis equipped escape pod, as well as another one in the captain's quarters that doubles as a bacta chamber equipped with surgical tools. The one in the quarters can sustain the occupant for up to three years on minimal ship power, while transmitting a weak distress beacon.

Protective: Its pure (and very thick) phrik alloy armor render it heavily resistant to damage.

Backup: In case its main hyperdrive is knocked out, its frontal array possesses a back up Solar Sailor that is propelled by lasers fired by the craft, in an attempt to somewhat mimic the properties of Count Dooku's Solar Sail, albeit using a far more durable (Highly Classified) material for the sail that stretches to about the same length as Dooku's sail, but the material is an almost ruby color. Using almost no fuel and able to be deployed even away from a star

Fast: Uses a custom class one hyperdrive

Weaknesses:

Don't fight, flee: While it is well equipped to survive the unexpected hunt scenario or skirmish with star fighters, the first option should be to flee, as extended combat would inevitably cause its weaknesses to catch up with it.

One or the other: You can have the phase stealth or the light absorbing field active, not both at once.

Ion: Ion will shut down its systems temporarily...about thirty seconds.

No overindulgence: The phase stealth drive can be used a total of once before it needs twenty four hours to recharge. It is best used for emergencies.

No Shields: Relies on its armor to tank damage. Thankfully, its very thick armor.

Speed: About as fast as a good Corellian YT...used.

Controlled bursts: The ship cannot fire its frontal weapos too many bursts without overheating for a few minutes after.

Classy, but not too classy: The Solar Sail used on this vessel is not truely like the Gree example: Though much more durable than normal, the material it is composed of and the way it is propelled make it impossible to hide its signature while deployed, and is significantly slower in hyperspace than it normally is. It is also still a large target when deployed.

Cooldown: The Hyperdrive can be used for three consecutive jumps before needing eighteen minutes to recharge.

DESCRIPTION

The TIE/DP Prototype is a one-off Advanced Projects Design, believed to be dated around just after the end of The Clone Wars, though the lack of records make it uncertain. An unusual cross between the concept of a Tie Shuttle and the infamous yacht of Count Dooku, the Yacht makes use of what seems to be enlarged versions of the technology from the Defel Mimicker, Kerestian Light Absorbing Cells, and Droid Singularity Projector technology enlarged to encompass the entire ship to complete its unusual features, such as a powerful, prototype solar sailor. Possibly a product of Raith Sienar's own hands, the prototype may have been an attempt to create yet another specialized craft for one of Sidious's Inquisitors, only to be rejected due to the fact the Speed problems were never fully resolved due to power requirements for other systems. Other records indicate it was repurposed to serve as High Level Diplomatic transport or diplomatic courier, only to be shelved when its particular technology proved too difficult to mass produce, as well as The Empire fearing the vessel would make a tempting method to try defecting with. What later records exist indicate The Yacht was put in Storage close to an old Advanced Projects Hangar, remarkably well preserved and requiring only a month of repairs and overhauls. Nine learned of its location on Geonosis after accidentally coming across First Order documents detailing their attempts to find and recreate the strange vessel, Nine, after restoring it, allowed it to rest in a private hangar on Atrisia before deciding to gift it to Ian Sade, ironically causing it to fulfill a diplomatic function all the same. It can take an incredible beating and still deliver death that potentiallly won't be seen heading the enemies way.

Okay, this is a very difficult read. As a general rule if I have to willfully double-read to ensure I find the ratings, then the submission needs to be cleaned up before it can be passed. I understand mobile formatting can be the proverbial b, but if you're going to list equipment under ratings please do so like so just for the sake of clarity:

Armament: High (Shadowstriker Laser Cannon System (Frontal and Auto turret))

You're also actually using the wrong template for a vessel this size. I'm fine with you having a speeder bike onboard the yacht, but vessels under 50m don't actually qualify for the Hangar rating. Please can you amend using the following correct template found under the spoiler.

All miscellaneous descriptive elements go here, such as Cargo Capacity, Passengers, Consumables, Crew, etc.. There is no requirement for amount of words here so long as you meet the minimum requirements for your advanced systems.)

As for the review itself, assuming squadron count is none (1), your ratings are actually a full four over recommended balance. I suggest scaling back a little in several areas if you want this to pass.

Material: Phrik alloy, Special electronics,

I'm going to need you to hyperlink Phrik alloy in this instance.

Phasic Recharging Stealth Drive that adapts ancient droid technology to hide someone by pulling them out of normal space for a short time Phasic dodge thrusters that allow it to dodge incoming projectiles as though teleporting up, down, left, right, and diagonally for a very short time.

I honestly think these components warrant invidual subs of their own as they are fairly powerful. I get that you're extrapolating from canon tech somewhat, but you're taking them to the next level.

Reflective shielding returns the first five shots of any volley fired at it directly at the enemy craft that fired, with the rest of the shots hitting and being absorbed as normal

Given the power of this, I'm going to need you to link 'Reflective Shielding' for clarity. Either submission or wookieepedia sub will suffice.

Phrik Alloy Armor allows it to withstand immense damage from ships nearly four times it's size.

I'd avoid giving these hard numbers. 'Allows it to withstand immense damage' is sufficient. It is ultimately down to the player to work with the opposition on how much damage is received after all.

Shadowstrike Laser Cannon system allows its frontal weapons and rear facing auto turret to shoot black laser bolts that emit no sound, and barely any detectable emissions on enemy scanners at a rapid rate for short bursts.

Please can you link the Shadowstrike laser cannon

I'll give it another pass once the above has been addressed. All in all, it is an interesting concept, but it just needs a little more work and adjustment before it can be passed.

Have Heavily reworked submission based on imput. I Nerfed the ratings and stealth drive capabilities, as well as elaborated on how weapons work, and added links to explain. I tried to follow your imput as best as I was able but if I missed anything let me know. Thank you for your patience.

That is much better, thank you. Just need you to provide hyperlinks to their respective wookieepedia articles for phrik alloy and the Kerestian light absorbing cells and this is good to go.
