Special Features
Turbolaser Saucer Mounts
Incorporating the rotating hull of the feared battle dragon into much smaller platform, the mounts rotate each battery to allow full firing speed and damage.
Total Turbolaser Saucer Mounts: 8
Quadlaser Saucer Mounts
Incorporating the rotating hull of the feared battle dragon into much smaller platform, the mounts rotate each battery to allow full firing speed and damage.
Total Quadlaser Saucer Mounts: 6
External Warhead Octet
The inclusion of an external warhead octet is easily fitted to the battle configuration of the Lorrell Gunship, but also imposes limitations. If mounted, the top triple Ion battery cannot be fired until the missiles are fired, or the Octect jetisoned. Also, some saucers are unable to properly engage the enemy if equiped with the Octet as it hinders upwards firelines. Once fired, or before, the Octet can be jetisoned fairly rapidly.
Supernova Anti Intrustion System
The most complex system on the spartan warship, each room of the ship is sealed with durasteel doors, while bulkheads seal off each section. If intrusion is detected, captain can order the section shut down, dead locking all doors and closing the sections bulkheads. The Supernova generators can then generate gravity to a massive degree in a designated sector, pinning anything to the floor, irregardless of size. Maximum gravity output: 11Gs.
Description
Designed to combat the desire by the Royal Family to focus spending on larger capital ships such as the Matriarch and the Conquerer, the Lorrell Gunship is the no frills alternative to frigate combat. Designed simply with the purpose of engaging the enemy, the craft lacks any cargo space, instead focusing the majority of its structure to weaponary.
The ship is cylindrical, much like a Corellian Gunship, with a triple ion battery on the bow as well as the four placed at 90 degree angles from each other on the hull. Troop completment is minimal, although a 5 man marine detail remains on the ship at all times.
Despite lacking even the simplest of pleasures, SOP calls for the craft to only ever be on operation for a month or two due to morale restrictions, although hardened crews are expected to be more able to handle longer terms of duty than green crews. Other SOP precedures onboard the craft include the dual particle ray sheilding system and standard hapan backup sheilds.

Oh, and neither of you people have @#%$ heard of exageration?
:drink
You get my point. What did you want lowered, i think last edit i took off some quad and ion thingies.
Speed to just above carrack levels...

Three ways. His words, not mine.
#18 1:08am 10/06/03
What about life support?
#17 9:31pm 09/06/03
Reduce as requested.
Unless, of course, you want to put into the R&D that all energies are devoted just 3 ways.
#16 9:16pm 09/06/03
So naturally I can go and add the same stats for my Cutter class Gunship, correct?
#15 5:58pm 09/06/03
Perhaps Kas, but imagine how much more shields the vigil could have had if its systems had been focused on energy to simply 3 points, sheilds, weapons, thrust, basically ignoring all non wartime tasks.
This craft is meant to simply be a warship, hell, it can only carry a landing party of 5 marines...
#14 3:42pm 09/06/03
I think the shields are a tad high. They're the same as the Vigil, which is 230 meters, and which is designed as a defending ship, and supposed to be hard nosed.
#13 3:15am 09/06/03
Yup, its all in the R&D.
#12 2:32am 09/06/03
Hull and shields still seem a bit high... The Corellian Gunship has just over half as many shield points... and those are quad lasers and batteries, as opposed to standard lasers...
#11 2:28am 09/06/03
Besides the already stated edits this R&D seems fine. Has 2 more mountrs than the Corelian Model, but that can be accounted to the disk thingy you use...
So as long as u go with what Beff says...

Not if your someone who actually believes that the Carrack is as fast an an X-wing...
Which is entirely possible in the SW Universe, but not for TRF...

[b]Remembering the Carrack was around 35 MGLT,[/b]
Lup, you may want to go get a catscan or something, because my sources have it listed between 15-18 MGLT. Not 35.
#8 2:37am 08/06/03
I beleieve that by now, most people, know where I stand on the "but we're 30 years advanced" argument... In all of its forms.
I will require an increase in size or a decrease in weapons as noted above.
#7 1:18am 08/06/03
Double the size isstal? The gunship is a craft over 30 years older and retains systems powerheavy systems not used in combat. All those have been stripped off this ship, and weapons been thrown on size reducing saucer tracks [i]outside[/i] the hull, like the BD. This ship is the bare bones essentials needed for fighting, and nothing else.
Beff, naturally i wouldn't have mentioned those stipulations had i not intended to use them. And about the size, i thought it excessive, then realised that this crafts purpose would require it to match or beat the speed of larger ships. Remembering the Carrack was around 35 MGLT, i thought since the Lorrell was a nimble gunship, it would be able to outstrip the Carrack by a noticable amount.

Right you are. My mistake entirely, I had intended to refer to energy tubes only.
