Description: Smaller than the original Interdictor Star Destroyer that was based off of the Imperial-II Star Destroyer designs, the Sith Corporation Vitiate had taken it upon themselves to commission a ship for the closed market, available for contracts that were capable of filling up the space that many Navies had yet to fill up. Patrol Destroyers, and Interdiction. Faster than the standard Star Destroyer, the Assimilator, as its classification would suggest, is typically going to be found apart of a taskforce conducting patrols of large expanses of Space, or apart of a rapid response taskforce that works to prevent the retreat of hostiles.

The Assimilator only possesses two fighter squadrons, thus leaving it the wrong type of ship to patrol solo. Its small complement is the reason why it is apart of taskforces, rather than solo missions.

With Vitiate's inexperience with incorporating interdiction into its ship designs, a flaw was pointed out that the ship was incapable of immediately leaping into a charted Hyperspace Jump after turning off its Gravity Well Projectors, requiring almost two minutes of a cooldown before allowing the jump to complete, should the ship be under fire while holding that gravity field, it'd leave the ship vulnerable before making its hopeful escape. Vitiate's aforementioned inexperience with interdiction technology left them unsure as to how to proceed, therefore, there is merely a single gravity well projector in the centre of the ship that projects a mass shadow over space that is directly in front of it.

This looks pretty good for the most part.

Advanced Navigational System

Can you expand on this a little bit? What makes these navigational systems advanced?

Multiple Gravity Mines

Are we talking about these gravity mines? Or a different type? If it is this one, can you please put a hyperlink into the submission to this one? How many mines does this carry?

2. Ships and stations at or above 1,000 meters will always require a development thread. Minimum: 10 posts, 1 writer.

This has a few extra bells and whistles and minor stat boosts from our baseline patrol destroyer without drawbacks compared to our baseline patrol destroyer, so I'd like to see a 20-25 post development thread for this ship as is.

Changed Navigation.

Fifteen Gravity Mines, hyperlinked too.

Dropped from Mass to Limited since there isn't a reason to have more than one in a taskforce.

Development on the way.

Mission accomplished.

 

[Gir Quee]

Looks good. I just realized that missed one thing previously.

Gravity Well Projectors

How many gravity well projectors does this have?

I'd also remove the "Limited Fighter Protection" as a weakness, since this appears to have the typical number of defense guns.

That's supposed to mean from the Interdictor itself.

That's supposed to mean from the Interdictor itself.

That's valid then. Please put something in the actual description itself that expands upon that idea so people don't confuse it with something else.

I still will need to know the number of gravity well projectors that this design has. Canon interdictor starships have anywhere from 1 - 4 gravity well projectors, because each generator can project a gravity well to a certain area. Here is a good example that shows how the classic Immobilizer 418 can project the center of its gravity wells to different areas of a battlefield. Keep in mind that the more gravity projectors a ship has, the more structurally weak it becomes.

Done.
