Strengths:
Swift Bird: The Revelation-class is a quick corvette at both sublight and hyperspace speeds.
Persistent Shielding: The advanced deflector shield recharges nearly twice as fast as is typical.

Weaknesses:
Defensive Arms: The Revelation-class is armed only enough to defend itself, and does not act as a warship.
Shield Drawbacks: Although the shield recharges at a faster rate, it has a lower threshold than average.

Description: For personal transports, the Revelation-class is admirable for the on-the-go specialist. An ample hanger allows for the storage of a single starfighter and can even deploy a speeder or two via its landing ramp on the ground. In space the swift vessel can outrun large warships, and even give chase for starfighter squadrons as well. With a series of well-placed twin laser turrets the ship’s crew can easily find and pick off small attack craft. For larger enemies, the singular turbolaser found on the front of the ship can tackle corvettes and perhaps some small frigates. However, it is far from a warship itself.

The biggest benefit is its defenses: If it cannot outrun a ship in sublight maneuvering, its advanced shields can hold out long enough for a jump to hyperspace. Equipped with cap drains, it also can withstand EMP and similar disabling attempts which may try to hinder an escape effort. More importantly the Revelation-class is fully capable of docking at stellar-class spaceport, and—if necessary—can deploy landing legs for impromptu landings on any flat, solid surface.

Hello, I'll be the factory judge reviewing your submission. If you have questions, please feel free to respond to this thread once we are underway.

Good submission and relatively balanced.

I would however like you to add another weakness. Having only "defensive armaments" isn't really a good balance to either the shield or it's speed, mostly because those two strengths make the weakness irrelevant(The ship won't need to even defend itself).

As a suggestion, I would perhaps state that though the shield recharges faster, it is generally weaker than others.

Alright, I added in the suggested weakness. Hopefully it suffices.

 

[Alric Kuhn]

[member="Hadleigh Purkis"]

Great.

With that I believe this has been sufficiently balanced.

Approved pending secondary. [member="Jamie Pyne"], [member="Cira"], @Raziel.

I'm looking at the guns you've put on this and the strengths and the weaknesses. It definitely has below, not above average armaments. So please keep the number of weapons on the ship, but change the rating to Low.

Done.
