STANDARD FEATURES

• All standard features

ADVANCED SYSTEMS

• Enhanced communications suite
• Enhanced sensor and targeting suite
• Enhanced g-force suite
• Propulsion systems

STRENGTHS

• The enhanced propulsion systems in these craft allow them to outclass most opponents in and out of atmosphere
• The addition of an astromech droid allows even untrained pilots to fly the craft successfully
• The folding wings allow more of these craft to be able to be stored on larger ships

WEAKNESSES

• Dedicated as fighter craft means the heavy lifting is required to go against larger ships
• Even with shields, these craft are lightly armored and will not survive against prolonged fire
• Small in size these craft were not meant for long mission on their own and require constant support from a land base or ship

DESCRIPTION

Originally the squadron under the Crown Princess herself, with their defection from the Imperial Navy, these craft are now in service with the Underground. Very few modifications have been done to improve their capabilities on behalf of Kira herself.

Kimiko Taiyou , I'll be your judge for this submission.

Manufacturer: Sakuran Shipyards

Technically, this should be the faction or company that controls the Sakuran Shipyards. If you'd like, you can potentially write it like this "Sakuran Shipyards - Outer Planets Alliance" if you feel that this fits.

Depending on if the wings or open or closed, this is about 5-6 ratings too high right now. I'm not sure where you'd like cut back, but if there any "must-have" features or characteristics for this fighter, I can help you out with that if you let me know what they are.

Hello and awesome to be working with you!

For the manufacturer, since I have established O'Hara Holdings as my primary manufacturer, would I also have to change it on the original sub (and all previous subs as well)?

Let me get to my computer and I can bump some areas down. I did go a little crazy here and I apologize!

 

[Gir Quee]

Kimiko Taiyou , no worries.

O'hara Holdings looks like it would be fine for a manufacturer. I don't think you would have to change it on your previous subs if they're already approved.

Let me know what you decide to do to balance the ratings.

I have made edits! Ready for review

 

[Gir Quee]

Kimiko Taiyou , this looks like it's two ratings over strength right now. Semi-unique production gives you three rating points to spend (+3). Each High is worth one point, and each very high is worth two points.

(so +1 for armament, +2 for maneuverability, and +2 for speed and -3 for semi-unique production => +2 ratings over balance.

Bumped the maneuverability and speed ratings down to high, also defenses lowered to mirror the original sub.

Wouldn't this also mean the original is a little unbalanced? Not trying to be a bother...

 

[Gir Quee]

Kimiko Taiyou , this ship is now one rating understrength (I'm not differentiating the "High" rating for both types of speed as being different - that's only one rating to me). So you can increase one rating.

The original sub that you worked with Alkor is unbalanced, at least by current standards. Standards may have been a little bit different then, or there was more leeway allowed in judging back then.

There is a little spreadsheet tool here that you can also use to check your balance. You simply download the spreadsheet, plug in ratings, and it will tell you if it's balanced or if it is under or overstrength.

Bumped the defense rating up to Average.
