Description: In order to better equipped the Jedi of the Republic, the Jedi-Class Heavy Starfighters were developed by the Galactic Republic for the sole use of the Jedi Order. Now, given the span of time since their development, the Republic Remnant is updating these Jedi-oriented fighters to better equip the Jedi of the Remnant in their fight to re-establish the Republic.

The Jedi-Class Starfighter Mk. 2 is a strongly armored and armed vessel. Just under the cockpit on each side of the vessel are the torpedo tubes, containing a total of 12 torpedoes total. There are two duel laser cannons located on the wings and an Ion Canon located above the cockpit. The Jedi-Class Starfighter Mk. 2 also makes use of both Ray and Particle shielding to add to its defensive capabilities. All this firepower and defense comes at a cost, however. Compared to other starfighters of a similar size and design, the Jedi-Class Starfighter Mk. 2 has lowered speed and maneuverability.

I'd probably cite the older submission here.

Armament: High ​3 X Duel Laser Cannons 2 X Ion Cannons 2 X Torpedo Launcher holding 8 torpedoes each (total of 16 torpedoes)

This is pretty high. The guns alone would probably push this to high, and the torpedo loadout (having twice as many torpedoes as our template example starfighter) pushes this to extreme.

Aside from the weapon listings, this is about two ratings too high overall.

I changed the listing to "Very High," removed one duel laser canon and 1 ion canon and lowered the total torpedo count to 12 which is what it was on the original as well as placing that link in.

Does this look more balanced or should I alter it some more?

 

[Gir Quee]

[member="Kian Karr"], this is still about two basic ratings too high (speed, maneuverability, armament,defense, etc).

As far as guns are concerned,that listing is probably close to "High". So if you change your armament to "High", you'll only have to lower one other rating.

I've lowered armament to "High" as suggested and speed to "Average."
