Now I have another issue to bring to your attention that I would like to rectify before we enter combat.
It has to do with your Ghoul.
In rule 7 of the fleeting rules
(1) it states that you may not modify existing technology without an approved R&D.
In rule three of the R&D rules
(2) it states that you must R&D every new technology.
Well I have determined based on the rules that you have modified a technology to make three new technologies that have not been individually approved yet
(4).
In the R&D the Ghoul you have three modified versions of your PIM missle
(3).
Each of these three new missiles
(4) qualify as a modified tech under rule 7 of the fleeting rules.
The Ghoul was passed as an R&D.
The three individual newly modified technologies were not because they are not listed as new technologies under the approved R&D list. Nor are they found in any individual R&D thread.
The only way that these can be legal is that a new rule has been instated that you can modify existing individual technologies that would be separate from a ships integrated tech yet seemingly unique to a given ship that they are R&Ded in.
These three technologies
(4):
1-Electromagnetic Pulse Pod
2-Parasite Pod
3-Boarding Pod
Are separate from the ship tech in question because they can be used as separate R&Ds in other ships.
I would also point out that a tech of this nature has already been passed and modified as two different techs
(5). Different because one is a modification of the other.
The Ghost tech uses one form of a Ghosting system(
5a).
Yet the super ship the Dread. Uses a modified version of this ghost system
(5a).
The Ghost stealth system in the Ghost-
“The drawback to this device is that it consumes vast amounts of energy
and emits high levels of radiation. For these reasons, the array was left up front away from engineering.”
The Ghost stealth system in the Dread missing the emboldened passage that is in the version of the stealth system in the tech The Ghost-(5b)
“The drawback to this device is that it consumes vast amounts of energy.”(5a)
Thus proving that they are modifications of one system type originally designed in the tech the GHOST as a type of secondary R&D that did not have it's own R&D slot.
It may be an issue that these techs within techs cannot be used in this thread becuase they have not been properally R&Ded.
Issue source info:
1- Fleeting rules
Fleeting rule 7-
“There is to be no "modifying" of vessels in any way, shape, or form, without an approved R&D design.”
2- R&D rules
R&D rule 3-
“Every new technology (weapon, sensor, computer, alloy...etc) will demand its very own R&D submission. Each submission will be judged on its own merits as it relates to the Star Wars Universe. R&D projects which deviate from the norm by drastic levels will have an extra amount of R&D time imposed upon them. R&D moderators will be entitled to their opinions as they relate to submissions, though personal or OOC bias will not be allowed. Note that this does not apply to simple upgrades to existing techs.”
3-PIM system
PIM only R&Ded as an IONIC weapon.
Needs other R&D’s for anything else. Following requires three more R&D’s to use IC legally.
4- Modified Versions of the PIM aboard the ship The Ghoul
-Ghoul-
“Electromagnetic Pulse Pod
An exact duplicate of the PIM Missle, with the exception of its bomb having been tweaked to instead release an equal pulse of EMP radiation every 5 seconds instead of detonating. If the interal portion of the Pod becomes open after activation it will detonate exactly as a PIM Missle would.”
"Parasite Pod
These pods do damage by absorbing hull mass rather than just mangling it. Disassemblers are released into the hull on contact, immediatly going to work on anything around the pod, except the pod itself, rearranging the atomic structure to base particles until theres nothing left to disassemble, upon which the dissassemblers will return to the pod, if possible. The pod itself is merely a modified PIM Missle, the pulsar bomb removed and replaced with its dissassembler payload, but still retaining its armor and ionic pulsar emitter.”
"Boarding Pod
Another PIM Missle modification, this one being a simpler modification. The insides of the missle have been hollowed out to allow a 10m space inside, the missles explosive compliment and ablative armor endings having been removed. Retaining its Ionic pulsar this missle contains a sole Drahzi Daemun inside. The Drahzi Daemun will become active upon impact, taking hold of the situation as it sees fit.”
5- Additional R&Ds with such a problem
a- The Ghost
Ghosting system
”Ghost Sensor Stealth System
A ship equipped with an ghost sensor stealth system is capable of reducing sensor detection and lock to near zero. A new sensor array which actually "ghosts" the ship, but unlike a cloaking device which wraps space around the vessel, the ships ghosting array actually produces ripples in the space around the ship. This causes the sensors of enemy ships to misjudge the location of the ship, making targeting solutions all but impossible. The drawback to this device is that it consumes vast amounts of energy and emits high levels of radiation. For these reasons, the array was left up front away from engineering.”
b- The Dread
Ghosting system
“Ghost Sensor Stealth System
A ship equipped with an ghost sensor stealth system is capable of reducing sensor detection and lock to near zero. A new sensor array which actually "ghosts" the ship, but unlike a cloaking device which wraps space around the vessel, the ships ghosting array actually produces ripples in the space around the ship.
