NOTE: This is my first ship, so if it's a complete waste, please help me figure out what I need to do.

INTENT: To create a heavy gunship with high functionality while using minimum forces to run it.

DEVELOPMENT THREAD: I do believe one isn't mandatory, but there will be one to encompass this ship and all the ones I am going to be posting.

MANUFACTURER: Tenloss Corporation (Owned by Popo the Hutt)

MODEL: Division-Class Assault Cruiser

AFFILIATION: Neutral

MODULARITY: Has areas set aside for an AI system made with special order (working on dev thread for this, so this isn't a full feature yet), other standard upgrades that captains can choose to put on.

PRODUCTION: Made to order

MATERIALS: Durasteel, glasteel

DESCRIPTION: The Barrage is a heavily fortified, compact, multi-use ship. Every single weapon on board is concealable and when deployed offer immense fire power Though a powerhouse of weaponry, the ship has slow fire times, a 30 second cool down is required between missile launches, the harpoon is one time use, then must go back down for manual reloading, and the huge laser cannons have a bit of a process for reloading. Another thing the ship doesn't have going for it is the hangar size. Capable of holding only two land speeders, two small assault fighters, and one larger, heavily armored ship. The ship is also compact, making the amount of people required to keep the thing up and running throughout the galaxy. But with this, there is a decrease in the amount of armaments, hence why each one is extremely powerful in itself.

You need to look at this again. Half of it reads like a gunship, the other half reads like a cruiser, and there's about 500 meters difference between the two.

I don't get exactly what I should look at. What are you wanting me to see?

After much consideration, I'm afraid I'm going to have to deny this submission for the following reasons.

• This ship is attempting to be everything at once. It's attempting to be a luxury passenger ship, a medical ship, an assault ship, a carrier; it's just way too much to try and fit into one hull.
• Drones are counted as single fighters, so the 300 drones is grossly over limit of even the largest carrier.
• Harpoons aren't really a piece of tech used in starships. Tractor beams are much more efficient and widespread.
• Ships designed for personal use must be less than 400 meters in length.

There's just too much going on here. For the reasons stated above, this submission is denied. If you feel this judgement was done in malice or unfair, you can submit a request here, in the Second Chance thread.
