Shockwave Class Carrier / Vraix DF7 Droid Fighter

The Rebel Faction » Universe » Research & Development » Shockwave Class Carrier / Vraix DF7 Droid Fighter

[Edit]

Model: Roche Engineering Shock Wave Class Attack Carrier

Directive: Assault Carrier

Length: 2700 meters (Estimated Diameter plus exstension)

Crew: 11,000 (Assisted by 5,000 Roche Engineering Droids of various duties)

Troops: 2,500 (Ship Secuirty) 25,000 (Invasion troops)

Consumables: 2 Years

Primary Hypedrive: x1

Backup Hyperdrive: x8

Speed: 14 MGLT

Hull: 6,500 RU

Shields: 5,000 SBD (Ray) 3,000 SBD (Partical)

Sensor/ Communications: Standard Sensor Arrays, upgraded command class communication suite.

Weapons: 85 Turbolaser Batteries (scattered around frontal sphere portion of the ship), 50 Ion Cannons (40 scattered on front spere portion, 10 on back launch area), 25 Tractor Beam Projectors (all arrayed on rear launch/recovery section).

Fighter Docking Capcity: 450 Droid Fighters (Verpine Model, R&D upcoming) Also, assorted troop transports to carry invasion force to a planet.

Description: Large, ovoid- has been compared to Ssi-ruuvi ships in general shape as well as function, the ships appears to be almost a sphere, however the rear tappers off and gargantuian rectangular opening allows for the mass deployment of the 450 droid fighters in a quick perodi of time. (Think a big sphere with a tunnel shaped opening welded onto the back of it.)

Purpose: Designed by the Verpine controlled Roche Engineering, the Shockwave Attack Carrier was designed to provide the Diversity Alliance a powerful capital warship, as well as bring into play an enormous number of fighters. The ship also can serve as a platform for planetary invasion, and provides the Diversity Alliance with a ship to carry soldiers. The Verpine droid fighters have independent droid brains, allowing them to run independently of an on shipboard control, eliminating the need for droid controllers, as well as pilots- a good portion of the crew is actually repair techs who work on damaged done fighters. The large circular front portion of the vessel contains all major shipboard systems, including multiuple docking bays to hold the huge collection of fighters. The exstension serves two purposes: 1) as a quick launch/recovery point for fighters, 2) Docking space for troop transports of invasion force.

OOC- No special systems, the ships internal docking bays can only carry droid fighters designed by the verpin, no other models are compatable. The extension could hold other fighters if the troop transports were removed (however I'll never do this so its a moot point.)

*edit* Increased length by 500 meters and dropped Ray sheilding by 1,500, hull by 1,000

Here's an APPROVED for each of them.

edited to match TIE Devil weapons stats

we ready to be approved?

I said it to make it as powerful as its TIE counterpart. I stand by my word, now lose the weapon.

TIE Devil

This is a state of the art fighter called the "TIE Devil". This fighter should prove to perform exceptionally, be 10 times as cheap as competing Starfighters, and be nearly invulnerable to enemy fighters.

Projected Cost per unit: 25,000 Credits
Class: TIE Devil
Length: 3 meters
Height: 3 meters
Shields: 0
Hull: 5 RU
Speed: 166 MGLT
Hyperdrive: None

--Weapons Systems--
SFS L-s6:1 (Rapid-Fire)
Light Ion Cannon:1 (Rapid-fire)

These starfighters shall take up approximately 1/27th the volume of a standard Starfighter, having these extroardinarily small dimensions. Not only will this allow for perhaps 20 times as many starfighters to be kept on board starships, but the small size of these starfighters will prevent all but the most skilled enemy pilots from targeting them.

In addition to their small size, these ships have a small targeting profile, as they are shaped as a 3 meter long/high ball.

That would be about right, I'd imagine... (and I'm trying to find something wrong with it!)

#17 12:06am 14/10/03

Which was sort of my point. The 2 heavy repeating blaster cannons are about equivelant to the rapid fire laser cannons on a TIE Devil, maybe a little weaker.

#16 10:34pm 13/10/03

Blaster cannons are similar in theory to E-wbs, but obviously more powerful. They're more compact than laser cannons, and fire faster.

When it all comes down to it, though, a dual heavy blaster cannon and a laser cannon have about the same firepower. What the blaster cannon lacks in shot-to-shot power, it makes up for with rate of fire.

The cloest comparison would be something like a modern assault rifle versus a chaingun; they're both capable of inflicting great damage in a short space of time.

But one shot from an assault rifle will do more damage than one shot from a chaingun.

#15 10:06pm 13/10/03

I could be wrong, but i think Heavy Repeating Blasters are just E-webs, which aren't anywhere near as powerful as laser cannons. Even if it is jsut two really fast firing heavy blaster cannons, those are still weaker then the two laser cannons on a TIE Devil.

Amaer, reduce the troop number to 15,000 (About one American WWII infantry division...heh)

As Shree said, reduce the weapons on the fighter to one.

#13 9:27am 13/10/03

Especially considering its power is in ratio to a ship that has a much more massive internal capacity (sphere compared to ship), unless this is a sphere, in which case, my bad.

#12 1:54am 04/10/03

He's right, you know. A Star Destroyer, a vessel designed to pacify Star Systems, carried 9700 Stormtroopers.

25 000 is way to many, especcially for a carrier.

#11 1:26am 04/10/03

25,000 troops?

You've turned this thing into an invasion ship too?

With that number of fighters, weapons and shields it's a bit overpowered. That's more or less a complete infantry division.

#10 3:39am 30/09/03

Whadda want?

#9 10:00am 29/09/03

Hey, i've got 2 models of droid fighter, completely unlike both of them, diff weapons, speeds, size and dimensions. AND no carrier ship.

*wonders when drayson is gonna make him an R&D because he was a lazy @#%$ and didn't finish Restoration: Charubah*
