Description: When Noah asked to make a heavy gunship variant of the classic Y-wing, Koensayr's engineers were ecstatic. He got the original design in days and all he said, was go for it. So after weeks of trials and making sure everything was in check, the final go ahead was given. When it was finally showed to him, Noah was in awe of its design. Dual nose mounted rapid fire Dak-6 Gatling Lasers proved to be great in ship to ship combat. Four dual ball-turret laser cannons provided ample protection from interceptors and the heavy military-grade shielding didn't hurt either. The original idea of proton bombs were scrapped in favor of two Flex Tube Launchers so it could fire everything from proton torpedoes to cluster missiles. A 1.0 military class hyperdrive was acquired from a friend of Noah's in the ODF Navy and added into the design to make it faster in hyperspace than average. All in all, it is a pretty well developed ship. Due to the highly unique nature and cutting edge tech, it requires frequent fine tuning and repairs to function properly. Even though having cutting edge tech, the Hawk is still considered to be a very slow gunship compared to others on the market. Anti-missile counter measures that consist of chaff and flare launchers help keep it protected from missiles.
Development Thread: none
Intent: To make a awesome and unique Star War ship akin to a B-24 Bomber

Dak-6 Gatling Lasers (2 nose mounted) Ball-Turret mounted Dual lasers (4)

I will need one of these reduced for this to be approved. Currently you have 16 capital guns (from those two), I'd like to see it no higher than 8.

Took away the rotary cannons. If I reduced the warhead count by by four can I keep the fourth ball turret?
