SPECIAL FEATURES
Hyperdrive System
Miscellaneous
Stealth Suite
Strengths:
  • Power Converter: New Incom Models now include Power Converters and a small reserve Power Generator, which allows them to boost one of their combat systems in battle, or assist with a rapid startup sequence.
  • Stealth: The X-90, based off the T-90 and the StealthX combines the flexibility of the T-90 with the stealth systems of the StealthX. Gravitic modulators, photon absorbers, thermal dissipators, and sensor negators combined with the passive energy and static dampeners of its sister design render the vessel difficult to detect with normal sensors at standard sensor range and beyond.
  • Balanced: The X-90 is the perfect combination of speed, fire power, and defense.
Weaknesses:
  • Unassigned Energy: In combat, the reserve power must be assigned by the pilot or droid or it is not utilized or directed. This means when ambushed by enemy craft, the vessel is not able to perform at its full potential for a time.
  • One System at a Time: The fighter’s power converter can only direct its reserve power to a single combat system at a time, taking several seconds to stop the flow of energy to one system, redirect it, and begin the flow of energy to the next system.
  • Stealth Limitations: Although normally colored in the Starry Night matte black pattern, the X-90 does not visibly Cloak and thus can be seen. In addition at closer ranges visually tracking the target, locking on to energy emissions from its weapons and shields are much easier to detect and track during dogfights even if weapons locks are difficult, and comm waves and active sensor pings will attract notice to the vessel. More Powerful and specialized sensors are also better able to detect the starfighters at greater ranges.
  • Master of None: The T-90 does not excel at any specific role or mode of operation and its stealth systems are incredibly limited.
DESCRIPTION
The latest model of X-Wing, designed by Incom as the next step in the venerable starfighter’s evolution with assistance from Alderaan Engineering. The classic aesthetics and major design features of the StealthX and the T-70 model all found a home in this streamlined stealth oriented vessel, fitted with the computer and sensor systems of modern technological standards for an elite vessel of its kind.

Four powerful laser cannons form the primary weapons for the X-90, each resting at the wingtips of the ship. They feature gimbal mounts capable of resetting the Zero mark where all four laser blasts intersect with relative ease. Two variable warhead launchers mounted on either side of the nose cone, each capable of firing a series of different warheads from an internal magazine. Proton, Ion, Plasma, and Mag-pulse torpedoes, Proton Rockets, Intruder Missiles, Shadow Bombs, and Concussion Missiles are all able to be loaded into the magazine. The magazine is capable of unloaded and reloading weaponry quickly, allowing the pilot to change the next ordnance to be launched during combat. The Magazine holds between six rockets and twelve missiles when fully loaded. As a final weapon, the new X-90 has a light blaster cannon concealed in its chassis that can be lowered and rotated three hundred sixty degrees. While not overly powerful it is capable of firing backwards at pursuit craft and firing at ground attackers.

The X-90 features an array of active and passive stealth systems that assist in making the vessel very difficult to detect and track. Energy Dampeners, Static Jammers, and Emissions dampeners blur the vessel’s sensor signature, making it difficult to track at longer ranges while Photon Absorbers, Sensor Negators, and Gravitic Modulators dissipate incoming sensor pings and scanner signals. Gaining target locks on the vessel is much more difficult for enemy targeting computers as well. However, weapon’s fire and active shield emissions cause signatures that are more easily detected at normal sensor ranges, meaning combat flying at those ranges reduces the stealth capabilities of the craft. In addition if the X-90 is using active sensor sweeps or blasting comm waves the vessel is much easier to locate and track at any range.

The main difference between the X-90 Model and previous Incom designs is the Power Converter and Reserve Power Generator, a concept borrowed from Alderaan Engineering and miniaturized for starfighters. This Converter and reserve power allows the pilot of the X-90 to amplify their combat abilities during flight, such as switching power to weapons when making an attack run, boosting shields while being pursued in a dogfight, or turbo-boosting engines in order to escape capture from a tractor beam.

As per the standard factory rules, stealth systems on starships (including fighters) necessarily limit the production to Semi-Unique. While you do not have any cloaking devices or restricted materials in this sub, you do have 'Full Stealth' as a strength and a compilation of systems that give it a similar capability. Therefore, for this sub to be approved as it currently stands (and it would not have any other major issues) it would need to see production reduced accordingly.

To keep the Limited production value, I would like to see the strength reworded to better allude to the fact that the fighter is very difficult to detect with conventional systems but not impossible. Basically I'm seeing something of a contradiction between the 'Full Stealth' and the corresponding weakness and description, which seem to indicate that the vessel is not in fact a full stealth craft.

Somewhat related, please also hyperlink the other systems mentioned under the 'Stealth Systems' (GAM's, Photon Absorbers, etc).

Not a ton of difference, but I think that's a tad better. Let me know if you need it adjusted more. Obviously I agree that in a dogfight you can look out and see it, plus detect laser blasts and weapon's locks so I don't see a problem with rewording it.

Secondly, I had decided to drop the ratings One Shift (Partially so that its a carbon copy of the T-90 I subbed but with better stealth) to accommodate the additional stealth systems if that is acceptable (Not an edit just an explanation on the reduced rating)
