SPECIAL FEATURES
Hyperdrive System
Stealth Systems
Strengths:
  • Power Converter: New Incom Models now include Power Converters and a small reserve Power Generator, which allows them to boost one of their combat systems in battle, or assist with a rapid startup sequence.
  • Passive Long Range Stealth: Energy Dampeners, Static Dampeners, and Emission dampeners allow the BTL-S7 model to fly under stealth conditions and hide from most sensors at long range. In order to do this it cannot use its power converters, fire weaponry, or have active shields.
  • Ordnance Assault: The BTL-S7 is built for bombing installations, stations, and enemy capital ships. It carries an impressive array of warheads and explosive payloads.
Weaknesses:
  • Slow and Purposeful: The opposite of the quick and agile Rz-23, the BTL-S7 is slow and plodding, its heavier armor and weapon loadout at the sacrifice of powerful engines and thrusters make the vessel much more susceptible in dogfights than its cousins.
  • Unassigned Energy: In combat, the reserve power must be assigned by the pilot or droid or it is not utilized or directed. This means when ambushed by enemy craft, the vessel is not able to perform at its full potential for a time.
  • One System at a Time: The fighter’s power converter can only direct its reserve power to a single combat system at a time, taking several seconds to stop the flow of energy to one system, redirect it, and begin the flow of energy to the next system.
  • Limited Stealth: The New Incom Line has minor stealth capabilities, but the fighter must power down weapons and shields, and cannot boost engines in order to evade enemy sensors at long range. The system is ineffective at normal ranges.
DESCRIPTION
As the galaxy erupts into conflict once again, Incom revitalizes its Starfighter line with updated technology and systems, and new internal designs in a limited partnership with Alderaan Engineering. The BTL-S7 Fighter/Bomber is the assault ship of the newest Incom line of Starfighters retaining the ancient appearance of its predecessors.

Unlike other types of starfighter’s the primary weapon for the Y-wing is its fifteen metric ordnance bay capable of loading a variety of explosives. It is able to hold either sixteen concussion missiles, twelve proton torpedoes, eight proton rockets, six space mines, four proton bombs, or sixty four thermal detonators or any combination of ordnance. For secondary weaponry the Y-Wing has a pair of Laser Cannons mounted on the nose of the starfighter and a dual light ion cannon turret set just behind the cockpit on the dorsal frame. A pair of variable warhead launchers similar to those mounted in the T-90 X-wing fill out the Y-wing’s dogfighting capability, normally loaded with ordnance designed to fight back against attacking fighters and interceptors. Finally, like the other models in the newest Incom line, the BTL-S7 features a light blaster cannon turret concealed beneath the ship, capable of firing in a three hundred sixty degree arc making it an annoyance for pursuing craft and dangerous to infantry.

As an upgrade from the older models and based from the TR-20 design aspects, the BTL-S7 Y-wing Model features a reduced sensor signature assisted by energy, static, and emission dampeners that allow the vessel to operate under stealth conditions. When doing so its weapons and shields must be powered down, and the ship’s power converter cannot be directed. In doing so, the passive stealth allows the ship to hide from most sensors and scanners while at long range, but is rendered ineffective at close range and engagement ranges.

The main difference between the BTL-S7 Model and previous Incom designs is the Power Converter and Reserve Power Generator, a concept borrowed from Alderaan Engineering and miniaturized for starfighters. This Converter and reserve power allows the pilot of the ship to amplify their combat abilities during flight, such as switching power to weapons when making an attack run, boosting shields while being pursued in a dogfight, or turbo-boosting engines in order to escape capture from a tractor beam.

L Laira Darkhold , this looks balanced and solid conceptually. One minor formatting quip fix and we can get this approved:

Hyperdrive Class: 1.0

The template for the hyperdrive area changed about one month ago to this:
  • Hyperdrive: (Does this ship have a hyperdrive? Only choose yes or no. The lack of a hyperdrive may be included in the weaknesses of a submission.)
  • Hyperdrive Class: (If this ship has a hyperdrive how fast is it? The lower the number, the faster the ship is, you may choose decimals. Any speed below 1.0 requires the hyperdrive to be added to the ship’s strengths and accordingly balanced with weaknesses. Links: Hyperdrive, Hyperdrive Comparisons)

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns, or when your edits are complete!
