Issues with reapproved TNO R&Ds
I have some issues with TNO resubmissions."Fire-Class Light Frigate
Class: Light Starfighter Defense Ship
Length: 285 Meters
Hyperdrive x1 (x2 backup)
Speed: 70 Mglt
Shield Rating: 2,600 SBD
Hull Rating: 1,530 RU
Fighters:
2 TIE Devil Squads
1 TIE Devastator Squad"
A light ship that just happens to have shields and hull that place it on par with ships twice or even three times it's size.
I was lead to believe in the course of designing a ship of simular size that ships this small could not be R&Ded to be on par with ships several times their size.
Especially considering the fact that it contains fighters. The space that it takes for fighter storage is said to detract from weapons. Or so it has been stated in R&Ds for strong light frigates.
"Class: TIE Devil
Length: 3 meters
Height: 3 meters
Shields: 0
Hull: 5 RU
Speed: 166 MGLT
Hyperdrive: None"
No DPF rating. Though I would assume that with that kind of a speed rating their manuverability would be compromised as a drawback for such speed.
"TNO Attack Class Sphere
Class: Multipurpose space superiority warship.
Designer: Daemon Hyfe
Crew: 5,000, 600 starfighter pilots. 2,000 Stormtroopers (1.4 brigades)
Cargo Capacity: 1,000 metric tons
Consumables: Up to 3 years
Length: 1,600 meters
Hyperdrive: x1 (x3 backup)
Shield Rating: 18,000 SBD
Hull Rating: 7,000 RU
Fighter Compliment: 55 Squadrons of TIE Devils
Weapons:
50 Heavy Turbolaser Cannons
75 Anti-starfighter Laser Cannons
50 Heavy Ion Cannons
40 Warhead Launchers
5 Tractor Beams "
A ship that is at least two perhaps three times stronger in all areas then virtually any ISD class ship of simular size.
It is more heavily armed then ships of this size period.
265 weapons emplacements and extreme shields and hull ratings allong with massive numbers of inboard fighter craft. Well above anything that would be approved today.
"Designation: Reign-Class Star Destroyer Mark-I
Combat Designation: Heavy Cruiser / Command Starship.
Type: Destroyer
Length: 2,000 meters
Shield Strength: 5,450 SBD
Hull Strength: 5,200 RU"
Shields could be argued but the hull is well above what is approved in the R&D forum submissions.

Actually Theren, TNO was the ones that started the "Our fighters are better" thing. Not that this is very important, but I thought I'd jsut clarify that.

No seriously, who gives a @#%$, Vonta?
It isn't like you kids have been taking nine posts to destroy Reigns. We haven't been swooping in with our Attack Spheres and annihilating twenty ships in one post. Every twelve seconds one of you kids yells "AR FIGHTRS ARE BETTER". So who cares?

They all do, thanks to Kanbal's approvals....
as per previous arangements though, What Kanbal said still goes, heh, unless a staff member will allow a disection of all Pre-Kanbal R&D's...

The first R&D in his post has shields far above accepted level.

Thats just Ignorance

NOBODY CARES ABOUT R&Ds.

I have issues too. I was mad knowing that the ORS's Allegiance SDs would have the same stats as the ones I came up with. I accepted the Mods decision, which you don't seem to be capable of.

These are real issues with said ships I have had since their reapprovals. I brought the issue to Kas and he said to have them looked at by mods. So I did and I am.

Yes. Vonta is not attacking TNO every chance he gets.
