PRODUCTION INFORMATION


TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS


STANDARD FEATURES

The Noble Crusader Class comes fully equipped with the whole standard array of shields, systems and components that are normally associated with vessels of this size and class.

ADVANCED SYSTEMS


STRENGTHS

War Chief: As the name suggests, the Noble Crusader is a vessel for war. It possesses both strong offensive and defensive capabilities, and is fully equipped to serve as the central hub in any theatre of galactic war

WEAKNESSES

(Even more) Ungainly: And for all the power in those engines, the Noble Crusader is fairly terrible at maneuvering, possessing a turning circle akin to a half-blind, lame ronto.

Complex package: The ship has numerous complex systems making up its whole, this requires experience technicians and only temporary repairs can be made anywhere other than at either Kuat or Archangel ship yards

DESCRIPTION

The Ashlans needed a ship to carry their flag and the Bellidux fit the bill, almost. Its powerful engines were unnecessary and a liability, the consultants at Archangel Manufactorum believed that with assistance of Kuat's Yards, they could divert a portion of that power into combat systems, and so, the Noble Crusader project was established. This was also a learning experience for the Archangel crews, having never built a ship to this scale.

The end result is the Noble Crusader Class, a magnificent combat vessel, maybe they went too far reducing the engine power, leaving it even more ungainly than before, but now it is capable of being the bastion of the faithful that the ambitious Admiral Isla envisaged.

Description from original sub
"A quintessential vessel of war, the Bellidux was envisioned as serving as the centrepiece for overly ambitious sector task forces and large scale fleets. To that end, it has been heavily outfitted with a very high level of defensive and offensive capabilities to allow it to dominate the battlefield through sheer force of presence. Despite being based on updated designs centuries old, the Fusion Accelerator Cannon alone makes for quite the particular decisive factor in many engagements. When paired with batteries upon batteries of heavy solar ionization cannons, turbolasers, ion cannons, null-burst projectors, it definitely becomes a vessel that not even SSDs can afford to overlook.

A veritable mobile fortress, while less maneuverable than initially planned, the Bellidux’s powerful engines nevertheless allow it to keep pace with smaller vessels, making it ideal to operate within tight knit formations. This also allows allied vessels to take full advantage of its disruption capabilities, hampering enemy movements through the use of the onboard interdiction generators, interfering with their communications, and other assorted systems via ECM."

Very nice ship and good modifications! However I found some smaller problems:
  • You're not updated the template, so the Market-status is missing. And the Affiliation is not the Closed-market anymore, but the faction for example.
  • The other, the Hangar Space is only 18, not 20. Please fix it. The 5000 metres ship has 20 hangars, not on the 4500-4999 metres.
That's all, please let me know if you edited these.

Thank you for looking at this.

I have changed affiliation to the faction, added a market status line and jettisoned a couple of squadrons out the Hangar.

Thanks
