ADVANCED SYSTEMS

STRENGTHS

• A Swarm: Over a hundred fighters can be dispatched from any Kandosii-class Dreadnaught, blanketing the battlefield in dangerous miniature spacecraft.

WEAKNESSES

• Obvious Targets: The Kandosii is easily recognized and the areas which may require heavy fire equally easy to recognize. Most of the vessel's weapons systems are located on the thin mid point of the vessel creating a clear weak spot.

DESCRIPTION
At the center of any Mandalorian fleet is the Kandosii-class Dreadnaught, an ancient staple from the earliest of Mandalore's history. The KandosiiME-class, manufactured by Mandal Hypernautics in the modern age, is a slightly larger variant of this venerable line of starships. It acts as a key component to the naval doctrine of the Mandalorian Empire, compensating for smaller ship's lack of fighters for an overwhelming amount which can drown their enemies.

So, this one is a bit of a tough nut, unfortunately.

Simply put, Basilisk War Droids are, functionally, the same as fighters. As such, they'll need to be balanced as such. Having "Thousands" is a very vague number, that at the very least bumps this into the Extreme hanger space rating.

This ship is only 1500+ meters, so it'll fit in that catagory, as per factory standard:
1500m [Base: 2 | Very Low: 4 | Low: 6 | Average: 8 | High: 10 | Very High: 12 | Extreme: 15]

Factory has had a rule set for this sort of thing to prevent squadron spam, so I'm gonna give you a few options:

A. Rework the sub to it's current ratings. There's a good idea here, it just needs to be brought to the factory standard. Give me some hard numbers on what this thing is fielding.

or

B. Bump it down to Semi-unique, bump it up to an extreme rating, and rework it to that standard.

Edited out the Basilisk droid portions to bring it more in line with factory standards. Can just field the 12 squadrons of fighters previously listed!

Appreciated. Keep in mind balancing star ships for the future.
