TOO R&D: V3-SM Weapons droid unit

Third tier of Operation reflection

3- Heavy weapons droid.

Name: V3-SM Weapons droid
Length: 32 Meters
Hyperdrive: None
Sublight: 65 MGLT
Maneuverability Rating: 50 DPF
Shields: 101 SBD
Hull: 50 RU
Crew/Pilots: Positronic droid core with networking capabilities
Weapons:

1 Heavey Laser canon top turreted (E1 tie fighter model)

1 medium Ion canon Bottom turreted

1 Proton torpedo launcher Forward in the nose (payload of 6)

1 cuncussion missle launcher forward also in the nose (Payload of 8 )

4 normal laser canons
(2 apiece are based on a rotating gyro on each of the turrets so that they can target independently of the gun turrets.)

1 Taim & Bak H9 Turbolaser Cannon- turreted mounted in the rear of the ship.

Systems:

Vanish three sensor mask system

V3-SM operation limits:

Holographic projection radius: 2 meters past the hull
-Stores 3 false holo masks
Dedicated Electromagnetic transmission mask radius: 2 meters past hull
-stores 3 false ship masks.


-50 meter networking radius-

Improved targeting system:

With the inclusion of positronic technology in this device the droids targeting system is boosted to the point that it can target profiles as small as 2 meters with the help of the new positronic technology for increased processing power.


Ranged firing improvement: Also giving the heavy guns and increased ranged accuracy by integrating the systems from the VXI-3 Electotelescope along with the udated targeting systems. The system allows for the targeting computers to ‘see’ farther, and in turn, ables them to hit targets many times farther away then they would have been otherwise able.


“The VXI-3 Electrotelescope is an electro-optical device used to observe planets, moons and asteroids. They are similar in concept to electrobinoculars and macrobinoculars but they are much more powerful, electrotelescopes provide a tremendous degree of magnification through the use of optics and computers that electronically enhance existing light sources and reduce atmospheric haze and other sources of visual distortion. The sensor's range is more than adequate to detecting small freighters since most ships are much closer to their destination world when they come out of hyperspace and back into realspace. These devices use a two-stage scanning system. The general scanning mode observe a large area, but with limited resolution and detail. When the control computer detects an anomaly or comes across energy emissions that might indicate nearby by starships, the VXI-3's detailed scan mode focuses on the specified area to gather as much data as possible. Most models feature manual controls and standard datapad and astromech droid interfaces.”

Designed to work as the third tier of Operation Reflection. This droid links with the Holo-shroud and the Sensor-shroud droids in order to give the impression that this illusionary ships are really armed as they appear to be. By linking with the droids in a network it can hold a stationary position and fire on the angles that a holographic weapon appears to be firing. It is armed with several kinds of weapons for the purpose of imitating a large range of weapons banks. It has three turreted weapons set in a letter 'T' formation to allow the droid vessel to adjust it’s axis to fit a weapon into a given illusion. Each turret also has a pair of laser canons set on a spinning ring on the base of each turret. This allows the laser canons to move of their own accord with a 360 degree firing radious afforded by the turrets. The laser canons can then act as laser canons in a given illusion or as quad lasers because of this apparent mobility.

This ship makes a trade off for more weaponry and a less capable V3-SM. It has a limited system so that it can appear to be a given emplacement just enough of an illusion for that. The devices depend on their breatheren the Magnetic and holo graphic droid units to solidify the illusion. They work with the same V3-SM networking system as the other droids to manage the illusion so that the appears real.

What the frell is a positronic droid anyway. People keep using them, but I've not seen them in any canon referance.

Note that positronic droids are 4 inches by four inches and have more memory and processing capability then droids 100 times their size. The positronic systems do not take up that much room.

Positronic systems are 100 times smaller then those used by droid fighter in the past.

And there are droids that are fighter.

Including the tie droid and episode 1 droid fighters.

So I can have a droid that is in fact a fighter.

My comparison was a droid fighter vs. a manned star fighter.

There are 2 meter fighters out now that have the fire power of the smallest manned fighters.

Droid fighters can in fact then be smaller then manned fighters.

fine there is a heavy Laser canon that packs a punch just under that of a light turbo laser.

GED is incorrect in this instance, as has been said, no Turbolaser on such a small craft.

I qouted GJO not Hanger bay actually since GJO is not usable I used states from one that was.

After the fuss of before over GJO as a source I was informed that the Galactic Empire Data Bank was a site that was excepted at TRF.

So if that is so then that means that the GED's ratings would be correct.

Kas is correct. If you would note my R&D's simon.



Edit:
Double checked several other sites.

Mistake on the E2 noted.

There is still the E1 as a source of light turbo laser technology.

Eliminated Null Projector.

Weapons are now set in a 'T' formation.

Added one laser canon.

Uped size by ten meters to accomidate for greater weaponry.

Not to be a @#%$ or anything but I seem to have read somewhere in the OOC forum that:

So which is it?

for one thing thats the TIE/E1 not the TIE/E2 and only lists 1 turbolaser. Secondly, with that many unknowns I wouldnt trust that referance as far as I could eat my computer.

Although the TIE/E1 here:

[url=http://hangarbay.tripod.com/td-te1.html]hangarbay.tripod.com/td-te1.html[/url]

a source you frequantly use like gospel lists one laser cannon.

[quote]Visually, the TIE/e1 was a TIE/ln with a single solar panel, on one side of which was the pilot ball, and on the other was an additional pod with a single large laser cannon. The two laser cannons were removed from the pilot pod. [/quote]

Then the TIE/E2 here:

[url=http://hangarbay.tripod.com/td-te2.html]hangarbay.tripod.com/td-te2.html[/url]

as a modification to the E1, leading me to believe they are still simply laser cannons.

1. Where did you get TIE/E2 tech?
2. Link?
3. The TIE/E2 carries 2 Laser Cannon Turrets, not 2 Turbolaser's

[b]Holy crap[/b].

[i]LIGHT TURBOLASER?!?!?[/i]

[quote]1 Light turbolaser left top turreted[/quote]

Yeah, right... No way you're going to get a [i]turbolaser[/i] on a craft this small.

And yet a ship is inert. A droid isn't. And if you roleplay it like you have been roleplaying droid's, then Kas' request for minimizing weapons is not unheard of.

If you wish to emulate the B-wing then make it a fighter. If you wish to make it a droid, I would think, in place of a cockpit would go a umm.. positronic brain?

Just throwing that out there.

The size comparisons would mean something if you were talking about the same thing. But, as you pointed out, a droid and a fighter are not the same and can't be compared as such.

a 20 meter craft that is a droid.

So there is no need for a cockpit and life support systems.

Recently I have come into possession of the E2 tie fighter tech.

That uses 2 turbolasers on a 7 meter craft.

Making mounting one turret turbolaser feasible

This is a craft that is a cross between a skipray blast boat and a B-wing fighter.

The main body hull and shields are simular to a skiprays.

The weapons configuration is simular to a B-wing fighter.

This vessel has a simular proton torp and cuncussion missile lauchers in the nose of the droid same as a skipray containing less missiles then the blast boat.

In terms of weapon this ship reflects the B-wing with a triangular weapons design to allow for turreted weapons.

3 Gyrhil R-9X Laser Cannons (Single or Fire-Linked)
3 ArMek SW-7a Ion Cannons (Single or Fire-Linked)
2 Krupx MG9 Proton Torpedo Launchers (6 Torpedoes each)
Other payloads can be: 16 Concussion Missiles or 16 Heavy Rockets

[url=http://www.galacticempiredatabank.com/B-Wing.html]www.galacticempiredataban...-Wing.html[/url]

And the B-wing is only 15 meters long and has 8 weapons emplacements.

This droid is larger at 20 meters allowing for more emplacments.

The droid is additionally as slow as a y-wing to add a draw back to the high numbers of weapons.

The Skip ray carries.

2 Dorsal Mounted Turreted Laser Cannons (Fire-Linked)
3 Forward Ion Cannons (Fire-Linked) [1 Nose Mounted, 2 Wing-Tip Mounted]
1 Forward Proton Torpedo Launcher [Starboard to the Nose
1 Forward Concussion Missile Launcher (24 Missiles carried)
Shields 102 SBD. Hull 61 RU (RPG=Shields 2D. Hull 2D+1)

[url=http://www.galacticempiredatabank.com/SkiprayBlastBH.html]www.galacticempiredataban...astBH.html[/url]


Shields edited. But I would like it to reflect the Skip ray in terms of defense systems. This droid has less hull then a Skipray.

And I would like to add that a droid can carry more weapons then a normal craft that needs a cockpit.


Edit:

Shields reduced by 79 SBD.
Laser canons reduced by three.

Total emplacments equal 8 now rather then 11

#1 5:25am 23/12/03

Too many weapons for a 20 meter craft, shields and hull are both too high.
