ADVANCED SYSTEMS

N/A

Strengths:

• Small bow-on or astern profile
• Ability to drop heavy ordnance
• Ability to fire along virtually any arc
• Ability to resist conner nets and EMPs
• Heavy defenses
• Ordnance modularity (Standard configuration): one Guernica can fit ordnance different from the second Guernica
• Unlimited ordnance (Endurance configuration)

Weaknesses:

• Slow compared to fighters
• Short-ranged hyperdrive
• Large topside or underside target
• Exposed forward ball turret
• Limited ordnance (Standard configuration)
• Slow rate of ordnance fire (Endurance configuration)

Description: The Neimoidian Gunship-II saw very limited use because of its lack of ability to penetrate interdictor fields, and there were still old unsold Neimoidian Gunships (Blocks I and II) at the end of the process, especially since the high maintenance requirements were a big turnoff. With the new improvements that reduce maintenance requirements, as well as two ordnance configurations, the Block III Neimoidian Gunships promise an increase from a squadron size of 6 to a squadron size of 8. Nevertheless, additional speed came at the cost of a low carrying capacity for ferrying, and also short hyperdrive range.

- Cargo hold: 40 tons
- Passengers: 8
- Consumables: 3 weeks
- Crew: 3 (but 1 is minimal)
- Hyperdrive range: 5,000 light-years

ADVANCED SYSTEMS ​HIMS

HIMS commonly aren't found on small, mass-produced ships. I'd like to hear a little bit more elaboration about the capabilities of this device and what specifically is being used as a tradeoff for this system's inclusion on this vessel.

[member="Gir Quee"] HIMS removed...

With that change, if you'll remove this from the strengths then please:

Ability to penetrate interdiction fields
