Intent: To create a multi-tasking gunship that excels in air-to-ground combat.
Development Thread: Will make if needed
Manufacturer: http://starwarsrp.net/topic/21215-republic-of-starcrest/
Affiliation: Open Market
Modularity: Weapon systems can be easily modified, along with Non-Combative Attachments
Production: Minor Production
Material: Durasteel and Transparisteel
Description:
Due to the heavy Durasteel armor and deflection shield, the Wyvern Class Gunship is impervious to small arms fire. However with the deflector shield destroyed or disrupted, the hull of the ship would not be able to stand up against anymore than 2 missile Warheads.

The wings are located in the center of the ship, each wing is equipped with a thruster. This thruster is mounted at the end of the wing, and is able to rotate, if rotated at the correct angle the ship could hover in a single position. When hovering the weapon system is able to fire much more accurately, giving a higher hit ratio.

The main weapons, 4 missile pods, are mounted under the wings, however these missiles are all directed forwards, making enemy units coming from behind and the side extremely dangerous. The Flak cannons, that are mounted on the lower hull, are capable of rotating, but being on beneath the ship limits area where the cannons can shoot, this leaves the top of the ship completely exposed to enemy units and fire. The 6 flares allow the ship to evade lock on projectiles, but this means that regular lasers are still dangerous, if they are able to penetrate.

Classification: Balanced Gunship
Role: Primarily air-to-ground combat, but it can also be used as a troop / regular transport ship. Also capable of air-to-ground combat due to hull mounted Flak cannons.

A few things.

1) You're missing the "Affiliation" line. Is this for a faction? Open market?
2) I can see that you gave up four laser cannons to get the extra missile launchers you needed. Unfortunately, there is a penalty for trading more than 50% of a weapon pool; in this case, laser cannons. If you drop the proton bomb bay, you'll be good.
