Description:

The Kingfisher is a modern corvette design out of Coruscant Drive Yards, Plymouth. Now a few years old the vehicle has since been improved in later models but remains a sold seller amongst adventurers, pmc's, security escorts, and small detail merchant lines. It's high distribution leads to a terrific assortment of spare parts, modification adjustments, customer service knowledge, and even a small fan club. Though sadly, it has never actually been used for fishing.

This current vessel is a unique ship purchased at auction within the Core Worlds and has since been modified by it's new owner. The vessel was originally built to specifications for the no-defunct PMC, Blue Suns Secruity Inc.

By and large, this looks to be mostly in order. However, there are some minor issues that need addressing.

• The minimum and optimal crew count aren't appropriate for a ship this large. The CR90 is 150 meters, 50 meters wide, 35 meters tall, and it requires a minimum crew of at least 7. It's optimal crew scales all the way up to 165.
• Its cargo capacity is a bit much. Most corvettes hold up around 1,200 tons of cargo.

Edits:

• 200m -> 115m. *compared Consular-Class Cruiser
• 6 capital guns -> 3 capital guns. *decrease in size
• Optimum crew 4 -> crew 32. *bridge, engines, cargo, dropship, guns, droids
• Cargo 3000 mt -> 1000 mt. *dropship in hanger decreased space
• Passengers 6 -> 0. *not needed with crew increase

We normally ask that a base ship be submitted first, but this looks to be perfectly in line with what we allow.

Given that it doesn't treat our maximum gun values as minimum, I'm going to give this my approval.

Approved, pending secondary approval.

Ooh. Underarmed and moderate! That's more like it!

Approved.
