• Increased weapons systems makes this ship better able to defend itself versus the lesser powered Y-Wing

• With all of the bulk weight that the ship is carrying, the speed and maneuverability are significantly lowered

Description
The Heavy X-Wing is the next new Starfighter that can outperform the outdated Y-Wing. The Heavy features a large array of weapons and torpedoes for taking out enemies. And with armor that can take a good beating, you can ensure that your payload will make it there with minimal damage.

While the Heavy does have advanced weapons and shielding, the weight of the ship can be its downfall. The more torpedoes you load onto the ship, the lesser the speed and handling will perform. With the base of these not being the greatest either, it can be one of the Heavy's weaknesses.

MANIAC Listib Hibin Matthew Locke coupd this please be moved out of Pre-Factory and into Starship Creation? Thanks!

 

[Listib Hibin]

Well...this is new. There are issues.

First, Market Status is missing. Place it back in and add what status it is.

Second, your model field is empty. Either put N/A or put the X-Wing model in it.

Third, you are over one rating, please lower either your production or a rating to balance this.

Fourth,

• Armament: Very High
  • 6 RMC-M6 Laser Cannon
    • 1 on each wing
    • 2 in front nose
  • 8 Proton Torpedo Launchers (5 torpedoes each)

STRENGTHS

• The Heavy X-Wing is able drop many types of bombs into the fight

WEAKNESSES

• Since the X-Wing is carrying many weapons/bombs aboard it, the weight of the Starfighter is increased significantly

There is no record of the armament having a bomb bay. If this is actually the case, then the rating needs to be extreme. I am fine with eight torpedos and six laser cannons at very high but at bomb bays, it needs to be extreme. Make a choice.

Let me know when you made your decisions and fix the problems presented.

I added the model as “Heavy”, to reflect what I did for the model for my Long Nose X-Wing.

Market Status has now been added in.

I dropped this down two ratings, since I now moved up the armament up to extreme. These were the ratings changed:
Armament: Very High to Extreme
Defenses: High to Average
Hyperdrive Class: Average to Low

I still require that if you are using the bombs, to add them under armaments.

EDIT: Lowering the Hyperdrive does not count towards ratings unless going higher. Sorry but you need to pick another rating to lower or lower production.

I have added bombing bays under the armament.

Hyperdrive is now moved back to Average, and the production rating has moved from Mass to Minor.

APPROVED!
