Manufacturer: Open Circle Shipyards

I need a link to the manufacturers marketplace thread or to the company's approved Submissions

Hyperdrive Class: 5

A hyperdrive this slow put this ship put of a fleet support role. It is just too slow. If this is the intent then its cool, but I recomend making it a 2 in order to make this capable of keeping up with a fleet in hyperspace.

18,726 Crew and is capable of transporting 4,100 passengers/personnel.

Again if this is intended its cool but that is way more crew than a ship this size requires. These crew numbers are enough for a small star destroyer. If this is intended its fine but you could bring this down to 1000 to 2000 and still have more crew than most ships this size. As for the passenger thing its fine I would suggest adding Atmospheric capabilities to your strengths so you can use the ship to land these troops and passengers.

While there is nothing wrong with the ship as it stands I feel there is alot of missed opportunities here. It seems like your wanting a modern day equivalent to a star galleon. But with assault capability's. IF you want the ship to stand as it it is good to go but IF I may I would like to offer you some recommendations to better translate what I think you want the ship to do.

Assault Capabilities

Add the following to Special Features
Atmospheric Stabilizers
Landing Struts
Repulsors

Add the following to Strengths
Assault Capabilities
Atmospheric Operation

Bring the crew down to 1,200

and change the hyperdrive to 2

These are just recommendations but it will open the ship up to assault missions as well as the cargo, patrol, fleet escort role.

Just let me know if you want it to stay as is or if you change it. The Manufacturer Link is a must.

Fixed it, I did this late at night, comparing it to the Imperial II Frigate, explaining the odd features. [member="Reshmar"]
