ADVANCED SYSTEMS

• Integrated Droid Brain Automation Systems

Strengths:

• Unlike it's predecessor, which lacked in hangar space to make room for it's compliment of weaponry, the Providence II-class utilizes high hangar space and boasts significant fighter counts.
• To enhance it's durability the Providence II-class has been outfitted with significantly stronger plating and defense systems. This includes redundant shielding, a B1-TM3 package and Socketguards against internal slicing.
• Integrated Droid Brain allows the Providence to operate itself with a skeleton crew.

Weaknesses:

• Like it's predecessor, much to it's chagrin, the Providence-class still possesses it's signature bridge tower. While it is not the main operating area of the ship, it is a target due to it's potential of housing important vessel personnel.
• What the Providence II boasts in defense and hangars it lacks in significant offense. Requiring it's fighters and a variety of support ships, the Providence II must be guarded to sufficiently perform it's function.
• Like any ship of it's design, the Providence II suffers from most electrical attacks by enemy fleets.

Description: The process had begun. With the Lucrehulk II-class Battleship project well under way, the naval command of the Confederacy of Independent Systems went to work procuring the designs for another carrier. This time, one with more maneuverability and higher defenses. A carrier that could hang in the heat of battle and still perform the function of a Lucrehulk under siege. It would not be the strongest of the Confederacy's vessels, but it would boast efficiency in everything that it did.

Under Review.

[member="Katria Vekarr"], this is about three ratings too high for a mass produced vessel.

Additionally, we do not typically allow a rating of "Extreme" on a Mass-produced ship, because that sort of "power" or "advantage" is usually the result of something more rare.

My recommendation would be to lower the hangar count to "Very High", and take off two more ratings from wherever you'd like.

I adjusted the hangar ordinance to Very High and also dropped down the defense and maneuverability ratings!
