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.

Yeah, but doesn't the Adz have very little weapons? This things has lots of weapons, not to mention it is faster then a TIE Bomber, Y-wing, K-wing(I'm pretty sure, or at least close), B-wing(I think, are close to it) and almost as fast as a X-wing.
#18 1:40am 16/12/03
The adz class destroyer is rated at 83 mglt and it is 150 m.
His ship is slightly larger and has no fighters so it seems reasonible using the comparison.
Maybe just a bit slower though 90 mglt does seem a tad excessive.
Just a thought.
#17 12:10am 16/12/03
The four engines take up almost a third of the craft. Lots of thrust from that.
#16 12:06am 16/12/03
It looks like a big fighter. So what?
So does the Marauder Corvette.
#15 12:02am 16/12/03
Look at the picture.

[quote]Turbolasers take up a lot of space and a lot more power than a cannon. I think one could safely assume that a medium turbolaser takes up as much juice as four dual cannons.[/quote]
I'd say that's quite a stetch. By that logic, a 190-meter version of the Lancer Frigate would carry between 32 and 48 laser cannons. Yet the 250-meter Lancer carries 20.
I'd say that (accounting for both space and power) you could two, maybe two and a half, laser cannons in the place of one turbolaser.
And it's very, very fast for a capital ship.

I shouldnt even have to say that I dont, in the last 7 months dont you think one person would say if I had, had I done so?

[quote] Question though, what stops the atmosphere of the boarded vessel from leaking out once the ramp is disengaged or does so prematurely?[/quote]
Hadn't thought of that, thanks. I added:[quote]Before the boarding tube is retracted, a portable magnetic screen is set up to prevent atmospheric leakage.[/quote] to the boarding section.
[quote] That's pretty @#%$ powerful for an 180 meter craft. I see 35 weapons emlpacements.
...
That's the thing with small ships. As long as they aren't powerful weapons...... The CEC Gunship is 90 meters long, but has 8 Turbolaser cannons, 4 Quad laser cannons, and 8 missile launchers for a total of 20 weapons emplacements. This ship is twice the size, so it could probaly hold upwards of 40 weapons, so long as none of them are too powerful. Heavy laser cannons are powerful, but barely compare to medium turbolaser cannons.

Turbolasers take up a lot of space and a lot more power than a cannon. I think one could safely assume that a medium turbolaser takes up as much juice as four dual cannons.
[quote] And it's hardly role specific.[/quote]
You don't send a patrol car in on a drug bust, you send a SWAT team. The Sentry and Vigil's are Anthos' sector police. They're meant to patrol the Anthos sector, and its systems, and be able to stop criminals in their tracks. If necessary, they are then able to perform in the offensive theater in leau of the military.
[quote] But I must ask, is there a reason your so eager to see the ship approved, ignore issues raised with it, and keep people from commenting on it?[/quote]
I don't sell my developments, and I don't think Gue accepts bribes from people for approving over powered craft.

Heh, water monster.
*claps*

[quote]Its a role specific vessel[/quote]
[quote]And it's hardly role specific.[/quote]
Its becuase of you and your like that cant accept what their told and seek to cuase disruption when they feel they are being opressed that makes it impossible for the rest of us to work. Im not blaming you singularly, Im blaming everyone with your attitude.
#9 11:19pm 15/12/03
You know what, Gue? No.
I don't give a @#%$ if you're "tired" of people's opinions, or their comments. Every person on TRF has a right to post comments on R&Ds - all R&Ds - in this forum.
It's been that way since the creation of the forum. No, the designers don't [i]have[/i] to defend themselves. But neither do you.
You don't like it? Really. I couldn't care less if you like it or not. Doesn't change fact. And if you'll note, I never addressed any comments about the ship to [i]you[/i], nor did any of them concern you.
You already gave your approval. Leave it for the other R&D mods to worry about.
#8 10:29pm 15/12/03
Becuase Im tired of non involved parties interfering and arguing with Mod descions, especially when those parties are not even of the concerned group.
R&D designers and posters shouldnt have to defend themselves from the likes of you, they post their R&Ds for our, the R&D staffs, descretion and comments, not every joe and nancy that wants to put their two cents in.
Now step off and back out of this thread.
#7 10:25pm 15/12/03
Since I'm here, yes it does. But, Gue, the idea that people uninvoled in threads shouldn't post in their OOC (as in the OOC forum) has never applied to the R&D forum.
Not to mention that you've already played your part in this thread. If Kas wants to defend his ship, he can do it.
But I must ask, is there a reason your so eager to see the ship approved, ignore issues raised with it, and keep people from commenting on it?
#6 10:20pm 15/12/03
System defense and law enforcement can be one in the same. Consider it the equivalent of a MP ship for the porpouse of role specifics.
Oh and Drayson, does this thread in any way include you? Are you part of Anthos? An R&D mod? A staff member?
I thought not

It's also rediculous[/quote]
