STRENGTHS
  • Versatile, fast and heavily armed, the Hoplite starfighters are the ace squadrons launched by the Raider Fleets of the Athysian League. These heavy star-fighters, piloted by the Athysian most elite, stand out as a lethal force in both aerial and void dogfights.
  • Zealot pilots. Hoplites are given to the best of the pilots. It is a tradition for these pilots to seek the blessing of the Dark Adepts of their Host's Hegenima. These blessings are demonstrated by ritualistic tattoos on the Hoplite's hulls, as well as on the pilots themselves. Such pilots may refuse to withdraw from a fight, driven by their pride and determination.
WEAKNESSES
  • Limited Numbers. Although on first sight the Hoplites seem rather heavy and superior over their X-wing or TIE fighter counterparts, which is deffenately the case, comparing the sheer firepower these starfighters wield. However, this does come to a great cost, as their armaments, armors and shield generators deny them ability to adjust Hyperdrives onto them, being forced to rely fully on their motherships for interstellar transportation, as well as escape, should the odds of battle turn grim. Should a warship launch Hoplite squadrons in the void and is then driven away, or forced to retreat into hyperspace, the remnant squadrons are all but undone. It is no rare occasion, should such event happens, to witness Hoplite pilots throwing their very crafts in high speed against enemy targets in suicide attacks.
  • Squadron Elite. Piloted by the Navy's most elite, each casualty in the battlefield costs to the Host a great deal. Therefore, these squadrons are not easily thrown into the battle, instead operate only as strategic odd-changing assets, oftentimes launched by several carrying vessels, in order to hide the very few Hoplites per squadron behind larger swarms.
  • No surrender. No Retreat. With their pride being at its peak, it is often for the Hoplite squadrons to refuse to retreat during combat, should the odds turn against the Host's favor. When such occurs, the host may be forced to escape in hyperspace, leaving entire squadrons to their doom, as they will push on the fight until they are all terminated, or throw their own ships at full speed against enemy targets, in a desperate attempt to die causing as much damage as possible to the enemy.
DESCRIPTION
The thin, wide silhuettes of the Hoplite Starfighters are almost unmistakable, to someone who has already faced them. Wide, highly sophisticated wings, blending with the pilot in an amalgamation of armor and armaments. Their blood-red hulls painted in the colors of the Hegemons are decorated with a plethora of patterns, with each pilot usually modifying his or her starfighter to personal liking. Some carry spikes and iron representations of skulls, or weapons, to confuse or scare their enemies, while others are decorated with ritualistic marks and several writtings on them, "blessed" by Dark Adepts who perform rituals to both the ship and the pilot, in order to affect their performance in battle.

Hoplite Squadrons are manned by the Athysian ace pilots, meant to operate as decisive blow against enemy aerial and void superiority.

Factory Judge
Desmundor Alcademon Desmundor Alcademon

Hello! I'll be your judge today again! Nearly the same problems just like in the other submission:
  • Please link the proper link, where you find the picture (not the picture, the website).
  • Please link Athys Industries, if this not exist, please create it, or choose an existing canon/eu factory.
  • Under the Affiliation, please link the faction page, not the ad thread.
  • The ship is quite overpowered, +6. Please fix it.
    • If you're not sure how this working you can find the Starship Spreadsheet here under the tools. You need to download it to your computer/phone first, and after this you're able to use it.
  • Please explain where average protection/defences comes from. With a short list, such as a shield, standard defences, etc. Where you can link reference (from wookipedia for example), do this please.
  • You mentioned the proton torpedos under the standard features, but not under the weapons. Please fix it.
That's all, please let me know if you edited these.

Patch notes:
  • Fixed Credit reference
  • Fixed Faction links
  • Overhauled the concept of the fighter, limiting its production to allow her stats to remain high. Now it is an elite fighter.
  • Fixed shielding and equipment
  • Changed Strengths and Flaws to reflect aforementioned changes

MANIAC MANIAC Hope all is now in good order!
