Description
A variant of the HMC Light Shipping Cruiser, this is designed as a carrier for the CIS. It was designed to be used in groups of two or three, and is meant to stay back, not to engage in close fighting. If it was caught in a large firefight with ships of similar size it would be severely outmatched and easily taken down.

Hangar: 7,916 12 size squadrons

Alright, here is a major issue here.

This ship physically cannot fit 94,992 starfighters, even droid. At the current number, it is 6300% (If my math is correct) the complement of a Lucrehulk-class Droid Control Ship which is three times the size of this vessel.

With the ratings that you currently have, the highest hangar rating you can achieve is 'Very High' which, according to the cruiser template here, is 6 squadrons.

Please balance this out.

I've always felt a little wishy washy about the templates, because according to the rules a star destroyer carrier with a very high squadron count is 16, yet the Venator had 35, 12 size squadrons, even though it was considered a fairly balanced, and small, star destroyer, plus its hanger was as long as this ship's, yet it was about a half as wide and a quarter in height, so I could see reducing to about the same as a Venator, but I would prefer not going down to 6, but if you want, I will agree.

The difference is is that with canon/legends vessels they are either grossly under armed or ridiculously overpowered. Even if you were to use a Venator-class Star Destroyer during fleeting maneuvers, you are expected to abide by the balanced ratings for that ship lest someone reports you.

Not to mention the fact that this is classified as a cruiser while your examples are star destroyers. Reduce the squadrons to 6 or this submission is denied.

I'm sorry I'm taking so much of your time, but if I put the hanger on Extreme can I have 10 squadrons?

 

[Travis Caalgen]

[member="Galven Hansol"]

No, the maximum at 'Extreme' is 7. If you want to have it 'Extreme' then please lower Defense to 'Moderate'.

Great! Lowered to 7.
