Hyperdrive: Class 1 average
Strengths:
Heavy Shielding - The vessel has multiple layers of overlapping redundant shield protection
Redundnt Systems - The vessel has multiple layers of system redundancy
Heavy Forward Firepower - most of the offensive firepower of the vessel is fixed to the forward fire arc.
Anti-slicing - All networks and systems are protected from slicer attacks by Socketguards
Anti-Ionic Defense - Multiple systems are installed to protect vessel from ionic based damage.
Weaknesses:
Thin Armor Plating - the vessel relies on its heavy shielding for protection and has thin armor plating.
Weak Flank Fire Arcs - most of the offensive firepower is fixed to the forward fire arc.
Weak Aft Fire Arc - most of the offensive firepower is fixed to the forward fire arc.
Cost - the massive redundancy and construction technics make the class very expensive.
Repair - the massive redundancy and construction technics make the class difficult to repair. Vessel must be repaired at a certified MCS drydock.
Poor Maneuvering - The mass of the vessel makes it less maneuverable than other vessels of its class and size
Slow Sublight Speed - The mass of the vessel makes it less slower than other vessels of its class and size
Description: Based on the old battlecruiser of the same class name the new MBC75 Class is the larger modernized variant of the class design. This vessel takes much of its new design from the smaller MCE55, as the older Scythe and the Tri-scythe did. While it is designed with much the same role in mind, the larger MBC75-class is much heavier armed and does not have any onboard attack craft. A MBC75 generally assigned into a heavy attack line consisting of itself and two MCE55-class vessels as heavy escorts giving the line fighter support.
It's role is to stand off out of standard weapons range and support with long range firepower. Ninety percent of the offensive power of the vessel is located on the prow blade and focused on the forward fire arc. This leaves the ship vulnerable to attack from capital vessels in the port and starboard flanks as well as the aft flank. Each long range weapon is mounted on a dedicated quad emplacement on the flanks of the prow blade. 30 Energy Torpedo launchers are located in each of the two pods on each flank of the vessel near the flank axis amidships of the vessel. Turreted light turbolasers and standard warhead launchers are the only offensive weapon systems with fire arch outside the forward arch. They and the few turreted defensive weapon systems offer defensive fire in all fire arcs.
Like all Mon Calamari Warships the vessel relies on its advanced heavy shielding for the majority of its defense. Its hull is made of thin durasteel plating and is far weaker than other ships pf their class and size. The Prow blade has an extra layer of armor but only on the front plates. The vessels flanks and rear are very vulnerable to damage once the shielding has been brought down.
Anti-ion weapon defense is handled by a series of capacitor drains and de-ionizers, They work to help with localized ionic spatial phenomenon in addition to their defensive duty against ion based weaponry. Networking and system transmission lines are secured with socket guards to assist in slicing defense.
Due to the vessels mass and its designed role the class it very slow and had poor maneuverability. It operates from a fixed defensive and support position only moving to maintain its distance and to bring its heavy weaponed prow blade to bear on targets.
A guest hanger is located on the lower section of the prow blade for guest vessels and delivery of crew and supplies.
