It is an upgrade if I have to sacrafice original shields, so be it.
Shields edited by 120 SBD of canon stats.

modified to normal 11 meters then, as I recall that is TRF standerd length for the original series.

If you want to add additional length to the ship, Vonta, you'll have to drop some speed.
I'll say it for future reference. If there's a cannon craft that is far above TRF's standards, consider it a boon. Modifying it will get its stats taken down to TRF standards, to help in preventing uber craft from developing.

The Observer Jedi using this tech exclusively would not make sense, but the Alderaanian Guard that make up the military arm of the Observers using this tech makes perfect sense.

I think the idea of a munted jedi group making a totally Impy based tech is testament to the groups abilities and mental faculties.
But thats just me.
#11 7:03am 19/01/04
I see no other problems with it...
Approved.
#10 2:29am 19/01/04
except in the case of canon craft that defy such constraints.
this is an upgrade of a canon vehicle so the stats are going to increase by a degree.
So that does not answer the question about what shield strength shall be taken as legal for the T/de series.

Shields are typically length(3).
And an increase in length and equipment means a decrease in speed.
#8 10:01pm 18/01/04
Correct, high speed equals lowwering or shutting down everything else, hence that it is an intercepter ability.
I should add the weapons bit in.
Editing.
I would also like to know what an appropriate upgrade in shields would be to R&D staff if you do so reconize the officially listed shield stats.
#7 9:16am 18/01/04
I think it is actually reasonable. We are talking about 7 MGLT of added speed - with 2 meters added to the actual craft. And with the 200 MGLT increase, the ship could not be able to fire weapons or manuver very well, correct?
#6 7:59am 18/01/04
In this case, he's arguing the point and is valid in doing so. If Kas disagrees, and Vonta continues to complain, then we may have a problem.
#5 7:24am 18/01/04
Why do you have to argue with everything the staff says Vonta?
#4 7:09am 18/01/04
The speed on a normal Tie defender fighter is 155 mglt. The upgrade would be faster and the speed still comes from the official sources, just a note look at hanger bay for the high speed deal.
