Description

[SIZE=10.6666666666667px]“Nations only build weapons these days to counteract other nation’s weapons.”[/SIZE]​

[SIZE=10.6666666666667px]It is a rare thing in the Galaxy to see a huge corporation or a sprawling nation to develop anything else than the biggest Star Destroyers with the strongest weapons, few if any entity tries to push their funds into the creation of more [/SIZE][SIZE=10.6666666666667px]commercial [/SIZE][SIZE=10.6666666666667px]gains. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.6666666666667px]This is an attempt to go against this tendency.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.6666666666667px]The Hulk-class Super Freighter does not have a huge armament and no combat hangar to speak of, all by itself it would be the biggest prey for pirates and other lowlife scum, instead it focuses on providing one of the finest cargo hulk in today’s business. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.6666666666667px]Sparingly defended by [/SIZE][SIZE=10.6666666666667px]some[/SIZE][SIZE=10.6666666666667px] defensive guns it relies on the support of an armed escort to stay safe. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.6666666666667px]But all of this is acceptable, because just like the earliest Lucrehulks - before the Trade Federation decided to arm them and turn them into capital fleet carriers - it has a gigantic potential when it comes to the carrying of [/SIZE][SIZE=10.6666666666667px]cargo[/SIZE][SIZE=10.6666666666667px]. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.6666666666667px]“The Super Transport XI was able to transport roughly 25 million metric tons worth of cargo at a whooping length of 840 meters.” ([/SIZE][SIZE=10.6666666666667px]quote[/SIZE][SIZE=10.6666666666667px])[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.6666666666667px]“A Lucrehulk-class LH-3210 Cargo Freighter could handle roughly 25 million metric tons of cargo.” ([/SIZE][SIZE=10.6666666666667px]quote[/SIZE][SIZE=10.6666666666667px])[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.6666666666667px]The ST XI had been a literal box with standardized box-placement which gave it its astronomical space-to-cargo ratio, the Hulk itself does not profit nearly as much from this and this can be accounted for because of the addition of standard shield generators and other equipment for a baseline of defense that the ST had never possessed.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.6666666666667px]All in all the Hulk-class is a huge cargo freighter which will aid big corporations to move their cargo from one sector to another without having to resort to continuous back and forthing from smaller light freighters. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.6666666666667px]***It’s wholly possible for people to take a Hulk-class and weaponize it like the Trade Federation did in the movies, but it would be expected to pass through the Factory on its own with suitable development threads supporting this. No massive armament ratings with no work, sorry.[/SIZE]

By hangar rating, I assume this is the amount of squadrons you'd like?

 

[Arage Bao]

[member="Lily Kirsche Kuhn"]

Not really, the Freighter as it stands does not have any squadrons to speak of. It's merely a representation of how much cargo can fit inside the hangar, as its a dedicated cargo hauler.

Please state this in the description and remove the hangar count (state as 0), as this is misleading to those viewing the submission.

Development Threads: [link]

Could you explain what this development thread (which you do not post in) has to do with this submission?

Length: 3,000m Width: 3,000m Height: 1,500m

This ship is arguably the largest maximum size for a "normal" ship before it is classified as a flagship, and although this is clearly not such a ship you are requesting the maximum size with mass production. This will need to be lowered to semi-unique or significant relevant development towards proper acquisition of funds used directly for this must be supplied.

 

[Arage Bao]

[member="Lily Kirsche Kuhn"]

Edited the first and the second one.

I would say that arguably most of these rules are meant for ships that have a role in fleeting, as it stands this is a brick in space that moves around cargo. So I don't really want to do a few billion threads for a flavor ship that does not have any relevance to the fleeting-scene and dropping it to semi-unique would defeat the purpose, what kind of length/width/height do you want for mass or at the least minor?

 

[Ellie Mors]

length/width/height do you want for mass or at the least minor?

At mass production ~2100 meters would be acceptable, and minor ~2400 meters would be acceptable.

 

[Arage Bao]

[member="Lily Kirsche Kuhn"]

Edited it down to 2,100m then, if I wanna raise it up in the future I can do a few threads and do a submission mod, right?

 

[Ellie Mors]

[member="Khaleel Malvern"]
That is likely acceptable, depending on how much of an increase you are looking for, though if it is substantial I would suggest a new submission (which can be used for tier advancements).
