STRENGTHS

• Well-Armed: The Ilikith II-class is very well-armed for its size, making it well-suited for quickly disabling or destroying its prey.
• Fast: The Ilikith II has fairly large engines for its small frame, making it fairly fast and capable of catching smuggling vessels and other small craft.

WEAKNESSES

• Fixed Weapons: The Ilikith II's primary heavy plasma torpedo launchers have forward fixed firing arcs, which means that the ship must be aimed roughly at their targets to be effective.
• Low maneuverability: The Ilikith actually has a fairly reasonably turn radius thanks to its multiple etheric rudders, but its pitch control is less than ideal due to its small control surfaces.

DESCRIPTION
The Ilikith II is a variant of the original Ilikith used by the Directorate as a commerce raider and assault boarding craft, much like the earlier ATR-6. To that end, the ship's power plant has been and upgraded some of the previous weapons have been traded for a trio of heavy plasma energy torpedo launchers. These weapons give the Ilikith II vastly greater reach and punch than its predecessor, allowing it to be used more offensively against larger targets. Typically, these plasma energy launchers are loaded with electromagnetic and biohazardous plasma, allowing the Ilikith II to disable the opposing from great distances before following up with a biohazardous radiation barrage that kills or weakens target vessel's crew before boarding even occurs. The Ilikith II then quickly advances across the battlefield and disembarks a full platoon of soldiers to seize the hapless craft. Ilikith IIs are often used by the Directorate to harass enemy convoys and rear supply depots, but sometimes also see use in large, full-fledged battles to deposit key personnel or special forces at key points on the battlefield.

Another very cool sub, but this can't be limited. I would like to ask you to modify the production scale or the rating:

6. Extreme ratings require justification and elaboration in the main body of the submission.
7. Extreme ratings must be submitted as Semi-Unique or Unique.

You can find this in the Factory rules (General Submission Guidelines section)

Good catch!

I've reduced the speed to "high" and bumped up the defense to "average". I've accordingly adjusted the listed weakness, removing "Thin-skinned" and adding a blurb about how its heavy torpedo launchers are fixed weapons.

Thanks for your help!

There is no more balance, so if you want you don't need to keep yourself to that anymore, especially the Armament not part of the balance anymore, because if you check the pre-made fields, there is no rating to that, you just need to list it. Of course, I am more than grateful, if someone write a rating to the armament as well, but it is not necessary, if you don't want to.

Approved.
