ADVANCED SYSTEMS

STRENGTHS

• Multi Vector: The Nynir sports several weapon ports across its hull at different locations, allowing for a wide range of fire. As well, the forward mounted weapon turret is placed in a rotating mount, allowing it to fire in any direction besides directly forward.
• Rear Gunner: Along with all the forward mounted weaponry, the Nynir sports a single rear turret station, allowing for a co-pilot to protect the rear of the vessel.

WEAKNESSES

• Grounded: The Nynir lacks a hyperdrive system, preventing the gunship from travelling to different systems on its own. It is forced to rely on other vessels to transport it between systems.
• Forward: Due to the engine configuration of the Nynir, it is incapable of hovering in a stationary position, and must constantly move forward. This prevents the gunship from concentrating fire on any target for prolonged periods of time, and forces it to make numerous attack runs.

DESCRIPTION
The Nynir Gunship is the Mandalorian Unions first attempt at creating a close ground support attack craft. Sporting ray and particle shielding, the Nynir is an extremely durable vessel for its size, and has been constructed with the Unions highly mobile form of combat in mind. With room for three crew, a pilot, co-pilot and rear gunner, the Nynir is capable of protecting itself in different situations, and serve as a highly mobile support craft.

Kreslin Westwind - The only issue I have with your submission is the lack of information to justify a High armament rating. While no-one is expecting a detailed breakdown of how many weapons your Craft has, nor their precise location, they are going to be curious as to what this vessel has to offer. You've mentioned weapon turrets and even rear-mounted guns... but nothing else.

Please include a list or even a mention as to what type/kind of weapon systems this submission would have.

Testing it out on this one before trying to expand on my other works, how does that edit look?

Kreslin Westwind - It looks good to me, but I would've been fine with Laser Cannon Turrets. However, there's one thing that I wanted to clarify:

• 2x Rear Facing Rotating Twin Linked Laser Cannons
• 1x Forward Mounted Rotating Twin Linked Laser Cannon

What do you mean by Rotating here?

 

[Kreslin Westwind]

Instead of being in a fixed position, like only being able to fire directly forward, the rotating ones are on turrets that are able to move and track targets.

Kreslin Westwind - I see, thank you for the Clarification. Normally those capabilities would be assumed when the weapon's classified as a turret, such as rotation, cannon elevation and etc. Anyways, with that said - it's good enough to be approved.
