Maneuverability Rating: 18
Speed Rating: 18
Hyperdrive Class: 2

Strengths: made to be easy to construct and produce in decent numbers.
heavy armor
decent weapons
Weaknesses:
lacks fighter numbers
slow moving.
small size
intended to be in isolated locations.
Description: made to be defense posts scattered around CIS space in order to act as listening posts and defense platforms.
the stations are made to be small but tough and fairly quick to produce
as a result the stations lack any real food production or real hangers larger in comparison to that of a heavy freighter.
the stationd are made for extendes for long periods of stay but are primarily made for combat

Intent: to create small to medium size defense stations to be posted around CIS Space.

This should be linked to your approved company submission (found here).

Armament: 10 Laser cannons 10 Turbolasers 5 Pulsemass Mines Proton torpedo T-33 plasma torpedo Jedi shadow bomb Ion pulse missile Cluster missile

There's some pretty specialized weapons in here. Because of that, I'd like to see exact numbers for each type of warhead this carries, unless the station is using some sort of general purpose launcher that's capable of firing a variety of warheads, in which case, I'd like to see a rough number of warhead launchers present.

Hangar: 6 mostly cargo area.

Six starships? Or six squadrons?

Molecular shielding

This feature generally requires a large amount of development at this production size. I'd recommend removing it.

Hydrostatic Fields

What is the purpose of hydrostatic fields on this submission?

Antimissile octet

This should probably be listed in the weapons section.

Maneuverability Rating: 10 Speed Rating: 10

Stations are generally exceptionally slow if they are capable of moving at all (generally around 18-20). If this were a ship, this would be exceptionally fast for its size. For reference, our fastest template cruiser moves at 11.

I'd like to see a bit more description of the armament set-up within the armament itself

Hangar: 6 star fighters

As per the starship template, we list starfighters carried in squadrons (where 1 squadron is typically 12 ships). In other words, this should be 0.5 squadrons.

Laser cannons 10 Turbolasers 5 Pulsemass Mines 6 4 torpedo launchers 2 top 2nd 2 belly mounted and able to load either.

I'd probably increase the numbers of the weapons listed, as this seems underarmed for the rating provided, or alternatively lower the armament rating. For example, the escort cruiser template (which is around the same size as this station, has the following:

Armament:
Rating 8
150 Turbolasers
8 Heavy Launchers
20 Quad lasers

Approved.

I corrected your company link so it hyperlinked to the actual company submission and not your marketplace thread. The link for your manufacturer should only be to the submission for your company and not for its marketplace.
