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.

This is a great looking sub, but there's a number of issues with balance here.

Compared to a Balanced SD template you've got more guns (+5), more armor (+1), and one fewer squadrons.

Compared to a Heavy SD you're roughly on the level for Arm/Def but you have two more squadrons and are slightly faster.

Related to that, your weaknesses mostly aren't. Neither speed or maneuverability are particularly low for the size, and four squadrons is hardly a small complement. All in all that's two separate issues to be addressed. The weaknesses must be added regardless. For the discrepancy in ratings, it's basically just a little bit overdone in all the key areas. A dev thread would work, or reducing some numbers a bit.

As a final note, your gun counts are extremely low. This isn't necessary by any account, but you could basically double what you've got now and be fine.

Excuse my mistakes, I have been four months hiatus since making a ship sub for the factory.

Problems have been fixed, I've converted the ship from a balanced Star Destroyer to a heavy Star Destroyer. I've done what I have wanted with the gun counts.

It's perfectly fine, that's what we're here for. As it stands you're perfectly within line to buff your speed (reduce to 17) and Armament (buff to 16) if you'd like. Otherwise I'm comfortable stamping this for approval.

I'm satisfied with its current ratings, thank you for offering.

You have a Dominion listed for dev. This is normally fine, assuming actual development of a sub does occur in said thread, and would not otherwise present issues except that is has already been used to sub a ship for your faction.

Given that, I have to ask for either a separate ten post dev thread, or have additional posts in the Dominion (I note that is is not finished) contribute more directly to this submission. This need not be explicit 'we're making a ship now' stuff, but should be related to at least the core concept of this sub (making a new standard Star Destroyer for the IR).

 

[Butch Mahan]

Well, I was not informed of this thread being used for another Dev, so there will be hell to pay on that end.

I will have a ten dev thread for you soon enough.

Changed the link for the development thread to the new development thread. Should be finished within 1-2 days.
