Intent: To develop a modular corvette class vessel that can serve varying roles as needed.
Development Thread: None
Manufacturer: Eshan Drive Yards[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]Designer:[/SIZE][SIZE=10.5pt] EchaniTech
Model: Shift-class Support Corvette
Affiliation: EDY Consumers
Modularity: No. Various divinations of the same ship exist.
Production: Major
Material: Durasteel and Titanium hull and structure. Transparisteel viewports.
Description: Designed by EchaniTech as a next-gen model vessel on a prior-gen frame, the Shift-class was designed to fulfill a variety of roles as needed by whomever purchased the vessel. As such, the ship has a variety of modular configurations for everything from long-range recon to heavy gunship. These vessels are diverse and interchangeable.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10.5pt]With the ship being built all on one hull, it is easy for them to be built and then changed around. This allows for an ease of production and makes their interchangeable parts much easier to facilitate. This is done through the use of modules themselves. Each piece of the ship is built as a module and then placed in the frame. A ship with advanced sensors instead of a heavy weapons battery will have a module that’s in the same frame as the weapons battery, and fits into the same location. This modularity allows for ease of use, as the rest of the ships essentials are all designed in the same way, meaning the ships layout doesn’t change as its role does.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5pt]In some instances, a layout is designed based on its weapons systems. In others, it’s based on necessary upgrades to non-combative attachments. Each one fits a role, a niche. Each one has its merits and flaws.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10.5pt]The support version of this ship was originally designed to fill the role of rear defense of mainline ships. It was meant to serve as a rear guard. Given the lighter armaments, this version of the ship is more suited to civilian use, or use in defense of shipping lanes from pirates.

I'm just going to copy and paste what I said with the Gunner version here as its pretty much all applicable. In the future what I suggest doing is making the first like template model so details can get worked out and then start in on the variants.

"I saw another judge recently (like a week ago) say something about us not doing Light Turbolasers. And I was coming in and considering asking you to edit based on that and trying to find rules to support that. Then I realized that even if you have standard turbolasers and ion cannons this ship is still within reason for a corvette class ship. Only its 220 Meters is frigate size (201-400), but given its armaments I won't quibble on that point.

So the only thing I ask now is that you add a bit to the description. I understand these are all variants of a single vessel but a few sentences in each differentiating them would be nice. Doesn't have to be too terribly much."

Edited.


I originally had them all as one submission, but Ayden made me break them up.

 

[Sirella Valkner]

Yeah I saw that after I posted. I mean it isn't a big deal but it just seems easier to me when doing submissions like this to get the base model approved first and then work on the variants.

But yeah pending secondary this is approved.

Approved.
