Usage
¤ The Sentry is a designated system/sector patrol defense and law enforcement craft, dually able to perform law enforcement as well as engage in offensive maneuvers. It is designed to compliment the Vigil-class SPC.
Protection Systems
¤ The Sentry follows after the Vigil with its thick hull and heavy-duty shielding systems.
Sensor Array
¤ For advanced ship detection, the Sentry is equipped with two Advanced Sensor dishes. Each dish is equipped with two back-end computers, which are programmed to decode and attempt to interpret what every special disturbance might be. Results in a 30% larger detection range, and a 20% faster detection rate.
Advanced Targeting Computer
¤ An Advanced-targeting computer aids in pinpoint locational damage for crippling the target quickly. It assists in guiding all weapons, at the gunner's option. The ability to perform flight vector prediction, aiding the gunner in 'leading' fast moving targets, has been added for the Sentry
Engines
¤ The Sentry's engine setup follows after that of the popular Skipray Blastboat. Each engine is placed on a “wing”, which equates to extremely high maneuvering speed for a ship of this size. The wings on the Sentry are more streamlined and laid back than aboard its predecessor the Vigil They are also arrayed in dual 'stacks' for a more streamlined appearance.
Boarding
¤ The Sentry is equipped with a specialized boarding apparatus that is arranged on the bottom of the ship. Once an enemy craft has been disabled, the Sentry flanks it, and extends twelve docking clamps and a boarding tube. Once the boarding tube is attached the hull is breached. Troops are then able to ferry themselves between ships via the tube without the inconvenience of a vacuum suite. A dual airlock equipped with double-thick doors is in place aboard the Sentry to prevent the possibility of enemy crewmen from storming the Sentry, or from the breaching apparatus from puncturing the hull of its host craft. Before the boarding tube is retracted, a portable magnetic screen is set up inside the boarded craft to prevent atmospheric leakage.
Shadow Paint
¤ “Shadow Paint” is the nickname given to the unique paint that all Republic vehicles will be treated with. The paint absorbs 95% of all light, utterly defusing it. This makes it impossible to see the ship with the naked eye in space, and it is extremely disorienting to any viewer when the ship lands on a planet.
Conclusion
¤ The Sentry is a fast-attack flanking craft designed to work in tandem with the Vigil-class SPC. Its oversized engines allow it to outrun all but the nimblest of craft. Once the target is disabled, the Sentry will breech the hull, and secure the craft from the inside.

Approved.
#33 5:08am 16/12/03
If he leaves me alone, I'd be more than happy to.
#32 4:56am 16/12/03
Speed edited, I changed the atmospheric speed as well.
#31 4:56am 16/12/03
Isstal, don't be a @#%$. Leave Gue alone. He does good work.
#30 4:39am 16/12/03
Naturally. But 80 MGLT is approaching starfighter speed...
*shrug*
It seems a little over the top, by canon standards. But for TRF, I suppose it's nearly there.
#29 4:27am 16/12/03
All of TRF's mid-sized R&D's have skewed speed ratings. TRF's speed rating system is entirely backward as well.
#28 4:12am 16/12/03
Yeah. It really is.
But now that you mention it...
A Marauder Corvette carries 8 turbolasers and a sqaudron of fighters. So I [i]suppose[/i] you're in the general vicinity of weapons, considering the lack of fighters.
But the high speed [i]and[/i] weapons count is what gets me...
*shrug*
#27 4:09am 16/12/03
Ah, but bump up to 450 meters, and you have this on a Strike:
[quote] 10 Turbolaser Batteries
20 Turbolasers
10 Ion Cannons
10 Tractor Beam Projectors
One squadron of Fighters[/quote]
Drop down to the CEC Gunship, and you have the aforementioned armament.
One can only assume that the Lancer is a poor design.
#26 4:03am 16/12/03
Yeah. Which is why I suggested you might be able to employ 20. Consider that a 250-meter Lancer Frigate carries 20 such lasers. It too has no fighters, and is far slower.
#25 4:00am 16/12/03
Kas, yes. 80 it is and I'll approve.
Drayson, do not post in this thread again.
#24 4:00am 16/12/03
The Falcon is a refurbished freighter designed for smuggling. Smugglers don't want to be pulled over because they have thirty weapon emplacements on their craft - his ship is designed to go incognito yet have enough punch when the time comes.
It's a freighter, not a craft for fighting.
#23 3:57am 16/12/03
If the Falcon is 36 meters, and carries two, then you can (presumably) carry 10. Add into the equation that this is a warship, etc. etc., and you might be able to pull of 20.
But you've got 30. A little bit much.
#22 3:55am 16/12/03
Drayson, fighters, hangar bays, etc, take up a [b]tremendous[/b] amount of space in a craft, I have nothing of the sort here. Also note what [b]type[/b] of weapons I have, these aren't turbolasers, they're cannons. You know, those things on the [i]Falcon[/i]?
Griff: Would you take 80?
#21 3:08am 16/12/03
Kas, knock the speed down to 75 MGLT.
(Sorry I'm late)
#20 2:38am 16/12/03
this craft is larger and has no fighter craft on board. So it could in theory be faster and more formidable becuase of the lack of fighters taking up space and the additional size.
