Strengths:

• Powerful defense and offense
• Minimal crew necessity

Weaknesses:

• Slower and less maneuverable than other ships its size
• Slow hyperdrive by comparison to most current warships
• Extremely expensive as most of the components being fitted into it are costly
• Loss of the bridge nearly completely cripples the ship as it doesn't have the crew capacity to otherwise run the vessel
• Because of all the extra space that would normally be used for crew quarters being taken up by other systems, and the lack of necessity for too much crew due to the command throne system, therected is an increased response time to systems issues, which decreases damage control efficiency.

Description: In order to create an effective battlegroup, a lead ship must have its support craft. The Revocation-class fits into that role, serving as a missile frigate to offer explosive support to the turbolasers and HARPER's of the other R-series craft. Bearing a large number of projectile tubes, the craft is capable of barraging enemies quite heavily. Outfitted with the command throne, it maintains a light number of crew personnel, instead relying on the person within the throne to operate the crafts weapons systems and other systems accordingly. Naturally the craft does come with a modicum of crew to maintain some semblance of upkeep, but should emergencies break out throughout the ship there will inevitably be some that cannot be gotten to.

The ship is slower than average frigates, has a slower hyperdrive, is quite expensive which results in a limited construction output. However, the ship more than makes up for its shortcoming in strength of defense and strength of armament. Through its strength, it provides ample support for the Reformation-class when used in conjunction with the other R-series vessels.

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.

One point boost to Arm/Def over a standard Heavy Frigate, with a one point degradation to Maneuverability, plus Limited Production and a familiar looking suite of well-thought out weaknesses. The Sith Order will have a mean (if limited) fleet at this rate.

Awesome. Pending Admin Approval. Thanks! [member="Cira"]

Cellulitic Dispersion Armor

• The armor is extremely heavy by comparison to normal plate armor, even with the use of high grade aluminum (-2 modifier to speed and maneuverability, but not less than 20)

This is the weakness listed in your Cellulitic Dispersion Armor submission, and here is what your Speed and Maneuverability ratings are:

Maneuverability Rating: 12

Speed Rating: 11

Here is what the standard example displayed in the template shows for a heavy frigate,

• Maneuverability Rating: 11
• Speed Rating: 11

Note that these ratings are for a ship with 16 Armament and 16 Defense ratings.

You are indeed 1 over the standard for both Armament and Defense, as well as one point slower for maneuverability, but your armored plating you're utilizing specifically states a -2 to speed and maneuverability. As such I would like to see your speed and maneuverability ratings adjusted accordingly.

Fixed. Missed that one, sorry.
