Under Review.

[member="Jorge"], welcome to the Factory. Conceptually, this looks solid. In terms of gameplay balance though, this is five ratings too high.

As always, you can balance this out by lowering ratings or adding significant (and practicably exploitable) weaknesses.

 

[hbomb656]

What would you recommend me to lower the rating for? In the end I would like it to be fast and agile. [Well as agile as a light freighter can get.]

 

[Gir Quee]

[member="Jorge"]. at unique, it's not hard to get a maximum value for one of the ratings. It's more of a matter how what do you want to prioritize, and to what extent.

My personal recommendation though (as I understand your submission), would be to move Defense to "Low" and Maneuverability to "Moderate". I'd lower defense because it shouldn't be hit in the first place if it's stealthy. And a "moderate" maneuverability still gives it a slight edge in agility compared to the average starfighter. But ultimately, it's up to you on how you want to balance it.

 

[hbomb656]

I'm going to follow what you said, but do you think I could add a couple more concussion missiles to my cannons since armament is high?

 

[Gir Quee]

[member="Jorge"], we don't keep strict track of guns and missiles listed, but this is pretty much spot on for a "High" armament on a unique starship: it already has twice the firepower of an X-wing or other average starfighter.
