Description: The Tusk-Class Assault Corvette is a heavy assault craft designed to work in small groups. Perfect for flotilla defense they have a low minimum crew requirement for those captains whom can't afford a larger crew and their small size allows for smaller business owners to own multiple to protect their shipments without breaking the bank.

With several capital ship weapons and long range capable ion cannons the ship is also popular with pirate gangs who use the ship's electronic suite to confuse enemies and hide in the asteroid fields where they hunt. However the weapons along side the gravity well projector require a lot of power. Two hypermatter reactors power the ship's weapons, hyperdrive and gravity well projector, limiting passenger and hangar space. Where it is common for corvettes of its size class to have space for at least ten fighters and a shuttle, the Tusk-Class assault corvette can only hold four small to medium sized shuttles.

Not only is hangar space limited but the ship's living quarters and miscellaneous room such as the infirmary, prison, and common kitchen space are all very small with tight hallways running throughout the ship, making an efficient crew a must when running in combat situations.

As this 500 Series Hyperdrive has no development of its own The .6 Hyperdrive speed will need 10 posts of development either buying, installing, testing the unit in some way. Anything below class 1 needs development either when submitting the unit itself or installing the unit in a vessel when submitting the vessel.

EMP Shielding

How does this shield against EMP?

MandalMotors and MandalTech have had a long standing agreement allowing the two to share tech among their products. Also the 500 series hyperdrive doesn't required dev, and for that matter neither does using pre-approved tech for public vehicles X X X

I'm not sure what you mean here. Just like it has ray and particle shields it has EMP shielding "technology"

[member="Gilamar Skirata"] Any hyperdrive below class 1 now requires some form of development. That is either in the drives submission itself or in installing it in the vessel submitted. Since the original submission did not have Development when it was submitted Instillation of the drive needs 10 posts for the lower than Class 1 hyperdrive rating.

This needs some form of canon ot CHaos design behind it. There are no such things as Canon EMP shielding. The closest thing would be an Ion Shield Or there are other canon systems that will do the job but they are not shields. I need A canon or Chaos Canon system for this.

Can I get a link to that rule change post?

 

[ADM. Reshmar]

[member="Gilamar Skirata"] There is no set standard development for alot of things we ask for development on. Some things need more some less depending on the case. the rules are here Link There is a part in there that states. " Still a Judge reserves the right to ask for a dev thread for something ambitious that isn't on this list so please be aware of that."

With this having an HIMS and being class .6 it bypasses gravity wells, and is much faster than a normal vessel is equipped. I feel it needs more development. 10 posts is fare less then I think it needs but it is what I am requiring.

 

[Gilamar Skirata]

[member="Reshmar"] There is not/never was an HIMS on this sub. Currently nothing broken/unfair/revolutionary on this sub nor is it without multiple and recent precedent(s)

How's about I make a post in Mandal Tech's marketplace asking for another shipment, that agreeable to you?

AH! Thanks for clearing that up. As such, this line has been added:

• Due to the limitations of the ship's hyperdrive, the Tu5k cannot bypass the gravity well projectors of capital ships 1000 meters and up.

Also, all mention of EMP shielding have been removed

[member="Gilamar Skirata"] If you like you can change the production to limited and not do the Development or do the 10 posts for minor.
