EGW Field Disruptor

Image Source: N/A
Intent: To create a new item for the One Sith.
Development Thread: Linky link
Manufacturer: One Sith
Model: EGW Field Disurptor
Affiliation: One Sith
Modularity: Slightly
Production: Limited
Material: Durasteel, Titanium Reinforced Duraplast.
Description: As war progresses, the One Sith is found in the need of creating innovative devices as a way to provide their troops with means of defeating it's enemies.

What it has done with this design is continue the galaxy's history of up scaling weapons, etc. From laser canons, to turbolasers, the galaxy has been able to up scale designs that can be used in battle. Seeking to provide the One Sith with an item that can bypass shields, Krayzen and Malos looked at old designs, including an individual field disruptor, as well as it's offshots.

The EGW Field Disruptor is essentially an up-scaled version of a field disruptor. What makes it different however from other designs is it's ability to be used in modular design. It can be used in large scale projectiles(the ones used in artillery shells, tanks, etc), as well as it being used in ships.


One Sith tests concluded that projectiles that feature the EGW Field Disruptor can be able to bypass numerous amount of shields, including but not limited to thermal shields, ray shields, particle shields, hydrostatic shields, deflector shields, molecular shields, electromagnetic shields, planetary shields, etc.

Nevertheless, the EGW Field Disruptor has a number of weaknesses:
  • It can not be used in ships that are less than 50 m, limiting it's ability to be used in ships.
  • It, unlike the original field disruptor cannot be used in armor, again making it's usage limited.
  • The EGW Field Disruptor can also not be used in a wide array of armaments, as it can only be used for large scaled projectiles.
  • It cannot be used in any missiles that are made for starfighters.
  • This cannot be used in the large caliber projectiles that are commonly used as armaments for ships.
  • Cannot be used in ships that have stealth systems
    Ray, and particle shields will shut down for 5 seconds when the EGW Field Disruptor is activated.
Ultimately however, it is a design that is commonly used in the One Sith, and is quickly becoming favored by it's military members.

This is an exact ripoff of two previously approved subs (one of them mine), minus some of their weaknesses, and with some of their strengths improved (e.g. this one works against molecular shields and thermal shields, and doesn't have as much of a size restriction for ships). Those two subs are very different, and you're trying to mash them together to get both of their specialties at once, and it doesn't really work in concept.

Most of your dev thread has nothing to do with the technology; many of the posts are as small as possible, but broken up into multiple paragraphs to seem longer. Nothing in this development thread has anything to do with analyzing or reverse-engineering the technologies that you're ripping off. Instead, your setup is that the One Sith just happened to accidentally duplicate two separate technologies simultaneously. You saw two shinies, liked the concept, and wanted a shiny of your own, but there are ways to do that and ways not to do that. We in the Factory are fine with arms races and reverse engineering -- in character, if there's a solid in character rationale and process. If you'd sat down with Ice's artillery shells or my ship-sized field disruptor and said 'we encountered these at the Battle of Whatever and they're listed on his defunct storefront and I think we need our own version,' and then written about that relationship in the sub, that would be the kind of thing the Factory can stamp. As it stands, I think we need to talk about plagiarism.


noun
the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own.
I've marked hundreds of essays, and if someone turned in an essay that completely rehashed one of their sources, so much so that the essay was literally just the one source presented as the student's own ideas, that wouldn't be acceptable in an academic setting. It's not the first time that Factory Judges have noticed you submitting one-up copies of other people's work. I'm not sure, however, whether it's already been explained to you that this isn't a habit we can or should nurture or tolerate.

Sorry, but this submission is denied.
