• [SIZE=12pt]Cannot use maneuver as well in gravity environments[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]Description[/SIZE]:
[SIZE=12pt]The Shock fighters are intended to be a compliment to the Awe fighters. The answer to space based weaknesses, these fighters are designed for near perfect suitability in a near void environment. With less wingspan and thinner metal construction the ship is intended to have less mass allowing it to accelerate faster and turn easier.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]This lighter construction does create large problems when dealing with frame stresses. The lighter build makes it more vulnerable to attacks, which is why it has a far more robust shield to counter the lack of armor. The ship is also dangerously fragile when put into a full atmosphere, requiring a massive drop in speed in order to avoid the ship simply being ripped apart by friction. This also hampers the fighter’s maneuverability considerably. Strong gravity fields have a similar effect, while the fighters can pick up speed in an environment it cannot turn as quickly without tearing itself apart from the force. Pilots are strongly advised to avoid entering or going below the Mesosphere of a world at all, with recommendations on keeping fighting in the Thermosphere to a minimum, while working in the Exosphere poses little danger on most worlds.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]While this limits the ship’s usefulness to only space based warfare, these ships are considered peers to most starfighters. The shields are of a more powerful design, drawing more energy to protect the fragile fighter. The weapons systems are about on par for the classification of the vessel. With twin launchers designed to carry any number of missiles and dual firing laser cannons, this ship is capable of competing with most enemy craft. These features combined with its ability to move seamlessly in a vacuum at high speeds make this craft deadly in space combat.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]As with most of Ultimatum’s designs, the ship is capable of being piloted by a person or a droid brain. In most cases an organic pilot is in control of the vessel, however if incapacitated or otherwise rendered unable to continue piloting, the droid brain takes over. While not as effect as a fully trained pilot, the droid brain is capable of most advanced maneuvers and taking advantage of the ship’s unique abilities.[/SIZE]

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.

 

[Ellie Mors]

Production: Mass-Produced.

Defenses: Average

Armament: Average

Space: Very High

Space: Very High

Regardless of whether or not Very High becomes Very Low when in atmosphere, these combinations, especially with the production, is not balanced for approval.

Here's an example of an unique starfighter: (which gets the most leeway because there is only one of them)

SPECIAL FEATURES

Strengths:

• (Provide, in list format, a minimum of 1 strength of this submission.)

Weaknesses:

• (Provide, in list format, a minimum of 1 weaknesses of this submission.)

Description:

Unless you'd like to make this an unique submission there is currently no possibility in this being approved without changing your ratings to reflect mass production, as the trade-off for a weakness in atmosphere is rarely going to actually come up as most fleeting and dogfighting on chaos takes place in space. It is very clear that this submission will be used nearly exclusively in that region.

More Vulnerable to damage when shields are lowered

This is not a weakness, a shield's purpose is to reduce the vulnerability to damage - when shields are lowered it is only common sense that the ship in question will be vulnerable to damage. Lacking a strength, in this case turning shields off, is not a weakness.

 

[Ultimatum]

Okay, I dropped the high values on each of the systems by one. Dropped the production to Limited. And removed the null weakness.

How is that?
