DESCRIPTION

As time went on, what began as the fledgling Obsidian Star Technologies company based on Denon, thrived and grew into a major weapons provider for the Silver Jedi Concord. It eventually added new facilities as the company created subsidiaries dedicated to Aerospace and Bio-Medical research and production. The Forge Class Shipyards were built to facilitate an increase in the manufacturing capability of Obsidian Star Aerospace. It is a circular station that measures approximately 10,000 meters in length and width and approximately 6,000 meters in height. It has twenty-five large dry dock frames for construction of capital ships and one-hundred interior manufacturing areas for constructing smaller craft and various starship components. While this station can be moved, it is a time-consuming process that requires careful preparation and execution and is not something that should be done lightly.

Hey there, I've got a question:

How long does it take for the Shipyard to produce ships?

Beltran Rarr

 

[Beltran Rarr]

Takui Good question!

Did a brief scan of the internet to see if build times were ever mentioned in the expanded/Canon universe. From what I could tell most major shipyards could construct an SSD sized ship in around 4 months to a year. Using that as a bar, I would say that the forge could produce:

An SSD sized ship in roughly 9 months
A Star Destroyer sized ship in roughly 3 months
A cruiser sized ship in roughly 2 months
A frigate in 1 month
Corvettes in perhaps 3 weeks
Fighters and small freighters in 1-2 weeks

 

[Takui]

With that in mind, I feel confident that I can approve this!

You know, this is the first time I've seen something pulled to make it smaller; looks good for the most part, though you will need to add the "Market Status" field (presumably followed by ": Closed-Market") between "Affiliation" and "Model" in accordance with the updated Factory Templates.

The Hyperdrive Class field is no longer required, but since fields may freely be added it's entirely up to you if you wish to keep it or not.

Finally, your Hangar Space is probably meant to have twenty-five drydock frames since that number is cited in Standard Features and Strengths. Not something I would hold up a submission over, but since you will already be making some minor edits I figured I might as well let you know.

 

[Beltran Rarr]

Good catch on the Hangar space discrepancy. It should be fixed now. Also added the Market Status field. Left the hyperdrive fields as is. As for making it smaller, this was a catch made by some of the Admins when this station was used in a Codex sub. I was going off of the old sub template and had not adjusted the size of the station in accordance to it being Semi-Unique rather than Unique. So that's why that happened. Anywho, it's all good now hopefully. Thanks!

Excellent, that covers everything. Best of luck with your Codex submission - I noticed it's missing a "N/A" under Permissions, just so you know.

Pending Approval.
