Description: The Sunset Horizon was the masterpiece of Cloudburner's Father. It was built gloriously by him, and was an amazing ship which held the bar high for future starships. Cloudburner found the ship broken and destroyed out in the deserts of Tatooine. The last time he can remember it was when he sold the ship to a merchant after the death of his Father. It has been slightly upgraded since then, and is now Cloudburner's main mode of transportation.
Development Thread: If necessary
Intent: To provide personal transportation for Cloudburner.
Who Can Use This: Members of the Sunburner family.

Most of this looks pretty good.

Lateral Control - Optical Shield - Plasma Shield - Deflector Shield

As I understand it, the lateral control and plasma shield are both variations of a Deflector shield. Why are they included in this submission if standard Deflector shields are already present?

Optical Shields are considered a stealth feature, meaning that this will require a ten post development thread for them to be included. As a reminder, while they distort the craft's image visually, they do nothing to prevent the ship's detection and targeting by other means.

Hyperdrive Class: 10

This is exceptionally slow, and I'd suggest bumping it up to a x1 (fast hyperdrive), x2(average speed hyperdrive) or x3 (somewhat below average speed hyperdrive).

Production: Unique (Now), Semi-Unique (Future).

Who Can Use This: Semi-Unique. It can only be used by Cloudburner and the characters who choose to carry on the name.

For clarification, is the Sunset Rider currently a unique starship? Is the semi-unique (future) production then meant to imply that people can make copies of this ship later on? Or is the intent of the semi-unique status meant to allow future characters to use this single ship?

3 and 4. I meant to say it can only be used by Cloudburner's children. Not anybody else, or making copies of it.

Or is the intent of the semi-unique status meant to allow future characters to use this single ship?

Correct, like said above.

[member="Cloudburner"], make the production "unique" then, since there is only one ship. It's fine if other characters use the ship later on though as long as they have your permission. Later on, you can even request a submission edit to transfer ownership or usage rights to a different character.

"Semi-Unique" implies that there are multiple copies of the same ship-class flying around at the same time.

Hyperdrive Class: .2

Make this "x2". There theoretically is a "x0.2" hyperdrive, but this which would be insanely fast.
