Description:

Alot of the Ravens ships are old and outdated. Ticon Defense Industries set out to fix this by creating a warfrigate that was as as balanced as possible. With the need for a fleet beginning to mount they wanted to create vessels that could come to bear with fire-power, fighters and still defend themselves or other vessels.

Thus the Raven support frigate was born. A mix of fire-power and fighters it can hold it's own in a fight and launch a sizeable force to strike enemy targets.

Development Thread: None
Intent: To create a balanced frigate that can be used for fleet operations.
Who Can Use This: Red Ravens

As it stands you have far too many squadron counts and armaments, and your company producing large amounts of ships of this size at its current tier is unfeasible as far as logistics goes.

• Reduce Armaments considerably
• Reduce Hangar Count to 1-2 squadron counts. Max 2
• Reduce Production to Limited or below.

WITH DEV THREADS

• Ten post minimum quality development thread in order to justify maintaining minor production of this ship, this can be a contract for example.

Armaments halved.

Can you hold on this for a dev thread?

Side question how many posts would a shipyard require?

I suppose it entirely depends on the shipyards size, functions, and so on.

As for your armaments, 80 capital guns and 20 defensive guns on a frigate is still an obscenely large amount. (Heavy Dual Turbolasers = x4)
Look over the ships I have linked that are Chaos Canon for a better idea of what would be considered acceptable, as I cannot accept these many capital guns on this size of a ship.

Edited, armaments were halved.

I didn't even notice that dual turbolasers would be x2, my bad.

How we lookin?

It appears to be acceptable now. You mentioned that you were going to obtain a development thread for the production?

[member="Darth Vitium"]

If you would definitely require one then absolutely,

If it was limited however, how many of these could be fielded in our fleet? I take it no more than say twenty total across the fleet?

Limited production means it is produced in a limited quantity for a specific group. I'm not an expert on fleeting, so that doesn't sound all that bad to me.

 

[RC 212]

Ok production is set for limted.
