Shockwave Class Carrier / Vraix DF7 Droid Fighter

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

Wow.

Everyone is copying the Attack Sphere these days, aren't they?

Not that I'm complaining or anything (I was one of the first to do so). But someone's got to think up a new, brilliant fighter design...

Name:
Vraix DF7 Drone Fighter
Designer:
Roche Engineering, Military Design Collective, Kaliop
Combat Designation:
Droid Space Superiority Fighter
Length:
2 Meter (Diameter)
Height:
2 Meter (Diameter)
Width:
3 Meter(Diameter plus extensions) *built at this dimension
Hyperdrive:
None
Sublight:
190 MGLT
Maneuverability Rating:
260 DPF
Shields:
N/A
Hull:
6 RU
Crew/Pilots:
N/A- Independent Droid Brain- Modified Arjan II Logic Computer
Weapons:
1 Rapid Fire Laser Cannon
1 Rapid Fire Light Ion Cannon

Description: A small sphere, similar in shape to a TIE cockpit, with 4 half meter extensions coming out from the 'corners' (width wise), and 2 half meter extensions coming on either side (width wise). Engine on both front and back (length wise). Blaster cannons are mounted on the two "side" extensions, along with high powered manuevering thrusters on the others.

Purpose: Used soley in conjunction with Shockwave Class Carriers, the Vraix Drones are Roche Engineering's version of a droid fighter, which is becoming more and more widley utilized by factions across the galaxy. Fast and extremley agile due to its small size and engine/manuevering jets placement, the Vraix is designed to be used in massive swarms of fast moving, evasive droid that overwhelm enemies before they have a chance to react. The Vraix is only lightly armored, devoid of shields, and in comparison with other fighter, poorly armed. This is countered by the Vraix's usage, which comes in mass numbers, the Vraix use swarm tactic, peppering their prey with dozens of blaster bolts in rapid succession. (The Vraix's weapons are not nearly as powerful as standard laser cannons). In large numbers these drones are like pirrhana beetles, tearing much more powerful fighters apart by sheer numbers- alone, they are weak. The Vraix's greatest strength is also it's greatest curse- although unlikley to get hit because of its amazing agility; 1 or 2 well placed shots from a laser cannon with easily vaporize the thinnly armored craft.

OOC- Have been meaning to do this for awhile- reduced heavy blasters from 6 to 2, and hull down to 6 ru which I think is fair. Anything else?

Ok, my fighter is coming, probably tomorrow. A few odd problems have prevented me from posting it.

*stares angerly at sister and do not restart note posted to computer screen.*

Anyway, felt compelled for some odd reason to post this.

Well I dont think its that much overpowered, especially in comparision to those TNO spherical ships (Attack Sphere- STAR Platform) but if I must I'll reduce power. (1000, 1500 ray and 500 particle sheilds?)

As for personal its not that bad- my bothan ship has more crew members and its about like 200 meters shorter.

As for the fighters- there going to be like 3 meters- I'll get to thm soon.

Could I get a total personelle rating?

And, as Griff says.

A little over powered.

- Reduce the hull rating.

- Reduce Both Shield Ratings

- The troop count... seems a bit much.


Exactly what droid fighters are we talking about here?
