ADVANCED SYSTEMS

• Molecular Shielding

Strengths:

• Versatile Transport

The Luggabeast is a large transport, able to be quickly reconfigured to change out the types of cargo it can carry, whether freighter containers or passengers.

Weaknesses:

• Not in the Jimmy!

The Luggabeast is still a slow and bulky transport that has many vulnerable spots along its frame. It will not hold out in an extended combat where it is suffering direct attacks.

DESCRIPTION
The Luggabeast is the large heavy freighter that provides transport for the large items requested to be moved for Interstellar Shipping clients. This model of freighter is the rarest among Interstellar Shipping due to the cost of these ships. However, they also produce the most revenue due to their transport capacity across the galaxy.

So this is a Cruiser, which is fine, but it appears you've used the Starfighter Template.

You may want to replace Squadron Count with Hangar and Hangar Allocations

• Hangar Space: (Please provide the amount of fighters this submission can hold in it's hangar by count of Squadrons, which hold 12 average Starfighters. The higher your squadron count, the lower your Armament and number of advanced systems should be. )
  500 Meters: [Base: 1 | Very Low: 1 | Low: 2 | Average: 3 | Moderate: 4 | High: 5 | Very High: 6 | Extreme: 7]
• 750 Meters: [Base: 1 | Very Low: 2 | Low: 3 | Average: 4 | Moderate: 5 | High: 7 | Very High: 8 | Extreme: 9]
• 1000 Meters: [Base: 2 | Very Low: 3 | Low: 4 | Average: 6 | Moderate: 8 | High: 9 | Very High: 11 | Extreme: 12]

[*]Hangar Allocations: (This is the allocated amounts of starfighters and support craft (dropships, shuttles,gunships,etc) this submission can hold in its hangar based on the maximum hangar space capacity listed above)

• Starfighters: x squadrons
• Support Craft: x squadrons (Minimum squadrons lists should match the squadrons listed for the "Base" rating for ship its size)

Hi Laira Darkhold and thank you for the review! The excel sheet does not have Hyperdrive in it! But I fixed this and included Hangar Capacity with the breakdown. It should be good in balance as well. Sorry about that!

Usually a Hyperdrive Faster than 1.0 is a single Positive Rating, while No Hyperdrive is usually a single Negative Rating. Some exceptions may exist, but that's the norm.

Anyways, Approved.
