STRENGTHS

1. Shield Disabling Prowess: The LO-80H Ion Cannons are specialized in neutralizing enemy shields, making this frigate a crucial asset in engagements where breaking through enemy defenses is paramount.
2. Missile Countermeasures: Equipped with both missile warhead deactivators and conventional countermeasures like flares and chaff launchers, the ship is adept at neutralizing incoming missile threats.
3. Atmospheric Operability: The ability to operate within planetary atmospheres provides flexibility for both combat and logistical operations.
4. Superior Defenses: Apart from its integrated strengths, the ship is fortified with two layers of armor and a separate layer of armor plating, making it a tough contender in the face of direct attacks.
5. Self-Healing Armor: using alloys made from Laminanium, the ships hull can "heal" minor breaches or damages autonomously while out of combat . Enhancing their effectiveness.

---

WEAKNESSES

1. broadside - the ships weapon placements are built for broadsiding with little to no forward-facing weaponry
2. fore and aft vulnerability - the ship's front and rear end, have blind spots that leave ships free from weapons fire in those locations
3. Lack of Direct Offensive Capabilities: While it excels against shields with its ion cannons, the ship lacks direct offensive capabilities against armored targets, making it dependent on allies in situations where enemy shields are down or non-existent.
4. Limited Weapon Orientation: With weapon placements optimized for broadsiding, the ship may be disadvantaged in head-on or chase scenarios where front and rear weapon orientations are crucial.
5. Beyond Repair: even with laminanium if the Ships hill takes to much damage and or doesn't have time to repair the minor damage it will lose its ability to self "heal"

DESCRIPTION

the first ship pumped out by the Lilaste order of their own free design, the Dra'kiv frigate is a little over three hundred meters long, sporting an impressive arsenal of well over forty turbolasers and eight ion cannons, the ship is designed to go toe to toe with larger ships of his closing if not above its class, with two layers of armor made of Dral kayatr with a seigurium plating covering its outer hull the Dra'kiv class frigate is built to last, designed as the ultimate support/ escort frigate as per Lilaste naval doctrine they chose Quality over quantity.

unlike the assault variant, the Shield popper class is purely a support role armed with Ion cannons and some anti-starfighter armament cannons but focusing on getting into the fight, dropping a targets shields as quickly as they can and then getting out of the battle

Hello there! First of all, kudos to you for the artwork for this ship - very nice indeed. That said, there are several issues that will need to be resolved (and a few friendly recommendations) before this can be approved. Once they have been addressed, please tag me for a followup. Thank you!

TEMPLATE COMPLIANCE:

• This one item is an optional recommendation on my part, but I would recommend you consider placing all of your images at the beginning of this submission under a spoiler. The official factory stance is that spoilers are only permitted for this application, and are optional - so it’s totally up to you. But the reason I am making this recommendation is because it can be a little distracting if someone were to try and reference this submission quickly to scroll down and look at the stats. Anyway, do what you will with this specific recommendation - I’m good either way depending on what you decide to do with it
• You list the ‘Hangar Space’ heading as ‘None’. The template’s progression for hangar size of a ship of this size is as follows: Base: 0 | Very Low: 0 | Low: 0 | Average: 1 | High: 2 | Very High: 3 | Extreme: 4. In short, please reword ‘none’ to ‘base’ so as to be in compliance with the template.
• You are missing the ‘Hangar Allocations’ entry for the template. Even though your hangar value is none, you cannot simply omit the entry from the template. Please re-add and put ‘N/A’ if you wish to keep the hangar space value to ‘None’. Also, please ensure it is placed in the appropriate section of the template, between Single Craft Hanger and Hangar Space.
• The ‘Hyperdrive Class’ entry should be reworded to comply with the template. The template shows it as ‘Hyperdrive’.

​

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:

• Armament: You cannot use the LO-80H on this submission because the LO-80H is currently, at the time of this review, listed as ‘limited’ production; whereas this ship submission is only listed as ‘minor’ production. You cannot use items that have a lower production value on a ship with a higher production value. You will need to do one of the following to rectify this: Option 1 - Reduce the production value of this ship to limited, semi-unique, or unique. Option 2 - Increase the production value of the LO-80H to either Minor or Mass Produced. Option 3 - Remove the weapons from this ship submission entirely.
• Defenses: The same points made above for the LO-80H apply to the LO-21H. Please revise accordingly.
• Hangar Space & Single Craft Hangar: You list the Hangar Space as ‘None’ (Or ‘Base’ once you revise per my above comments for template compliance), yet you have under the ‘single craft hangar’ heading the following - ‘yes 4 single storage slots’. If you reference the template, the description for the intent behind the ‘single craft hangar’ heading is - “(Does this ship have a hanger for a single fighter craft to be docked? Please choose either Yes or No. This field does not need to be taken into account when balancing but should be included in the strengths and weaknesses.)”. This entry is for if you want a ‘single’ fighter craft to be docked on the ship. You cannot use this as a means to acquire four individual docking spots for fighter craft while also gaining the balance points of saying you have the base value in Hangar Space. If you want four star fighters for this ship, you will need to adjust your hangar space value to ‘extreme’ for this ship and rebalance accordingly. If you want one (and only one) starfighter, then you can use the single craft hangar entry. You could use both entries if you wish, but please note that the single craft hangar is only ever going to be used for, as its name implies, a single craft (like a shuttle or captain’s yacht).
  
  Additionally, please be advised that I have not reviewed the technical specifications for balance yet due to these issues. Once you’ve revised the above issues, I will re-review for balance.

Martin Draigo thank you for getting back to me!, I iv gone through and made the appropriate changes, and even requested the LO-21H for modifications to fit into this ship appropriately! I'm just waking up but i belive iv made the appropriate changes! if not please let me know! as for the spoiler I'm afraid i don't know how to do that!

Thank you. We are nearly there, but a few more outstanding items.

• If you want to use a spoiler for your artwork, I have included the code below this post in a table. Feel free to use if you wish, but if not it's ok.
• Thank you for editing the hangar space/single craft hangar issue. Now that you've rebalanced, it appears you are 1 point underpowered. While I can still approve this as the balance stands, you can upgrade one heading if you wish by one point. If you decide to do so, please tag me so i am aware of this revision. Otherwise, please respond to this post saying you are good with it being underpowered.

Martin Draigo thank you for the advice! I was going to do so when if got off work, but with my other ships bwijg approved I think I'll go ahead and go without the spoiler, but I'll keep it in mind for the next time I get a. Ship or vehicle up and running!

 

[Martin Draigo]

Fair enough. This is approved.

Ravenfire Should be good to go

Hi there, I will be the judge for this submission.

Same thing as before, I would like a list of changes.

Same thing as before the hanger should be low:0 not none.

Also when your using the shields only rating you are 2 points over balance and when not you are 1 point under balance according to the low rating for hanger.

 

[Laphisto]

Ravenfire hopefully that fixes things?

 

[Ravenfire]

Laphisto

Not quite, I might have miss counted slightly so if you drop both of your low ratings when weapons are firing to very low that should balance everything out.

Also
List of changes still required as to what you modified in factory modifications.

 

[Laphisto]

Ravenfire

Armament Changes from very low to now be classed at extreme

Speed changed to have two categories for weapons idle and weapons firing.

Manuverability changed to have two categories for weapons idle and weapons firing.

 

[Ravenfire]

Laphisto

Excellent thanks for that.

As I said in another post to you, we are cracking down on using hyperlinked subs as just part of strengths and weaknesses, I would expand by using the strengths in those subs to help you or you could also remove them.

 

[Laphisto]

Ravenfire , should be good now

 

[Ravenfire]

Laphisto

Excellent

Approved.
