SPECIAL FEATURES

[*]Stealth:

Strengths:
  • Small flank profile
  • Ability to drop heavy ordnance
  • Ability to fire along virtually any arc
  • Ability to resist conner nets and EMPs
  • Ability to fly along non-linear paths in hyperspace or Otherspace
  • Stealth capability
  • High mobility
  • Ability to penetrate interdiction fields
Weaknesses:
  • Large target from above or below
  • Exposed cockpit
  • Fragile: can only withstand a handful of turbolaser shots
  • The reactor can spike if the stealth suite is kept activated for too long
  • The stealth suite must be temporarily disengaged to drop ordnance
Description: The W-Wing is borne from the need to conduct long-range stealth, surgical bombing missions. It is also designed to fulfill the requirement for stealth insertion of limited teams that became apparent on Mirial, due to the available vehicles for stealth insertions, and likewise, stealth extractions, often being in different categories: most vehicles in use either belong to a smaller category or to a larger category. To accomplish its role as a strategic stealth bomber, a whole host of stealth features has been installed onboard the W-Wing, as well the HIMS and EWAR equipment. Unfortunately, the stealth suite must be deactivated prior to dropping ordnance. And also the stealth suite must be used for limited periods at a time because of the drain on the reactor. Due to the W-Wing's shape, the W-Wing's maneuverability suffers. Ideally there are three crewmembers: the pilot and the gunners, who are responsible for point-defense and energy torpedo launchers respectively. The craft's cargo holds are at the wingtips.

Also, since it was found that ordnance supply could be an issue, energy torpedo launchers are used in place of traditional bomb bays. In addition, the craft can fit 30 people for stealth insertion of combat teams deep into enemy territory. The accommodations can be a little spartan, however. The W-Wings can be, in an emergency, stored onboard capital ship hangars, but it is not recommended to ferry W-Wings in a hangar.

- Cargo hold: 70 tons
- Passengers: 30
- Consumables: 3 months
- Crew: 3 (but 1 is doable for short-duration missions)

You can remove all three of these and continue to approval, or you can lower your ratings to accommodate these features
Your rating was previously Very High, you have lowered it to High and have removed no features. Each of these features are, for all intents and purposes, worth the equivalent of "one rating". Dropping from Very High to High would allow you to retain one single feature, dropping it to Average would allow you to keep all three. You can either drop your ratings proportionately to the features you have on your ship, or you can remove the features you feel are not worth lowering ratings for.

Your submission is currently at the limit for what is acceptable for a limited production starfighter. You can remove all three of these and continue to approval, or you can lower your ratings to accommodate these features.

[member="Darth Ananta"] Just converted over to the corvette template. I believe that it would make more sense as a light corvette in the intended role.
Your ship's ratings are back to where they were, regarding being at the limit for what is acceptable for the production and class of ship, when I made my initial request for changes.

You can lower your ratings individually, one per special feature you wish to keep, or you can remove special features that you do not want to lower your ratings for.

To clarify, each one of the following needs to be balanced out by lowering a rating by one (per feature):
