Hull:
The Desception Cruiser uses the same hull and shape as the W-wing, though at a much larger scale. They use the Mon Calamari emissionless engines, though they also are much larger, and make the cruiser slower then originally hoped for. If its weapons were fired, they would easily be detected. The Desception Cruiser is virtually invisible to any sensors, or the human eye, thanks to the Holographic Image Desceptor, which concludes the rest of the craft.
Quote off of hangarbay.tripod.com/td-wwing.html
Instead of generating a field of energy around the ship the new cloaking technology is built directly into the outer layers of the ship's skin. The outer skin is coated with a fine layer of synthetic material which works to simulate the ship's surroundings. The material is so sensitive that it can change appearances quickly enough to fool any tracking sensors. The rounded curves of the fighter further augment this ability as sharp edges would be much more difficult to conceal. The outer skin also completely absorbs any form of active sensing radiation such that no data returns to an enemy vessel to pinpoint the fighter's location.

Holographic Image Desceptor
The Holographic Image Desceptor (HID), is a huge relay of holographic projecters and recorders. When the HID is activated, a projector on one side of the ship instantly project that the recorder directly opposite it is seeing. If ever the Desception Cruiser is found, and it's shields aren't active, the HID usually is deactivated, due to the fact that any hit agaisnt the hull will destroy many projectors and recorders, making the ship visible again. The HID can only be used for one hour, and can't be fired after that for ten hours. Therefor the Desception Cruisers are always kept hidden at the back of the formation, and once the fleet is 30 kilometers away, still to far for any weapons, it activates, speeds forward, gets in position, and broadcasts back the telementary needed for the missiles. Their for they can actually be used to their full distance, and a fleet has to try and advance much closer to the Cren fleet.
History:
The Desception Cruiser is excellent for diplomatic envoys, they are not large threats, as they only have one turbolaser and one laser cannon. Their main tactics if found are to run away as fast as possible, which is quite fast. They are terrible in battle alone, but combined with other elements of the Cren Armed Forces, they can be used with dealy results. They can be used as scout ships, coming into a system and immediatly activating the Holographic Image Desceptor. They will be sent out in numbers to case the defenses on a planet before the Cren actually commit a taskforce to any mission.
Downsides: Well you can probably figure out that there is broadcasting going on right near you, aimed at an incoming enemy fleet. Therefor you could blind fire all the weapons on that side, and probably hit it a few times. Once you actually hit it, you will see the glimmer of where the shields are, since they would glow from the impact of the hits. If you have lots of fighters flying around you would probably get at least one hitting my shields.

I realize it isn't that hard of a thing to do, but after long thought, this R&D is going back to the drawing board, until I have time to write out the RP. So therefor, this R&D is no longer one of ours, it is dead. We have other R&D ideas to take it's place.

I'm afraid I have to agree...
(its really not as difficult or as much of a chore as it sounds...)

I'm assuming you were one of the people whinging to Kas, but disregarding that, this isn't approved because you are using technology that is inaccessable to you without an RP that is approved by myself and the other R&P ppl.

In regards to the construction of the C Wing, i think provided an RP of quality is done in which they access the plans, then you could build them.
Much the same as Hapes had plans to do an RP with Sienar gaining access to the psyco remote TIEs from XWA.

Fine, but we aren't building a W-wing. We have the plans from the W-wing, and are making a capital ship based off the hull of the W-wing, with the engines of the W-wing.

So no, it is not possible to build a W-wing. Just because a member of your faction is from Mon Cal, doesn't mean you can build a ship that, in canon, was never built.

[quote]Like the C-Wing, the W-wing is another Rebel fighter that never made it to the prototype stage. Plans for this fighter were uncovered by Imperial spies on Mon Calimari. Although not heavily armed, or particularly fast, the Rebel W-wing fighter is extremely dangerous because it is the Rebels' first attempt at a stealth fighter, in answer to the TIE Phantom. The ship relies on a new type of cloaking technology previously unseen and untried. Older cloaking technologies, such as that used by the TIE Phantom, relied upon generating massive fields of energy which could disguise a ship or even render it invisible to all forms of tracking. The massive amounts of energy needed to cloak a ship prevents the technology from being applied to smaller ships. Up until the Vorknx Project, it was thought that only the Empire's V-38 assualt fighters possessed the ability to cloak, but only for short periods of time. The Rebels have tried a different approach to cloaking. Instead of generating a field of energy around the ship the new cloaking technology is built directly into the outer layers of the ship's skin. The outer skin is coated with a fine layer of synthetic material which works to simulate the ship's surroundings. The material is so sensitive that it can change appearances quickly enough to fool any tracking sensors. The rounded curves of the fighter further augment this ability as sharp edges would be much more difficult to conceal. The outer skin also completely absorbs any form of active sensing radiation such that no data returns to an enemy vessel to pinpoint the fighter's location. This produces a rather organic effect, as if the ship is living, a characteristic of Mon Calamari space vessels. The W-wing is extremely expensive and slow to produce. If the Rebels had ever got prototype fighters online they could have posed a serious hazard to Imperial operations throughout the galaxy. It appears that the Rebels were forced to dump the project after the Imperials stole the plans.[/quote]

True the prototype was never built, but I never knew if you were allowed to build one or not. I never found the length to it, so I havn't built one. But what this is, is the technology of the W-wing, which was designed on Mon Calamari, and Jesmin took a copy of everything there with her when she left, and know the Farquak Empire has her, and concicencially, the information. The reason why the W-wing was never built was because the Imperials got hold of a copy of the plans.
#12 1:35am 21/02/03
I was under the assumption that you couldn't build a W-Wing because a prototype was never built in canon... Is this true?
#11 1:07am 21/02/03
Changed it, no longer has the organic hull, has the same hull and engines as the W-wing.

Had it been a canon planet, fine.
But making up special volcano rocks for your ships just because you made up a planet isn't kosher.
I'll discus this with the other R&D staff, but based on previous staff rulings regarding the creation of planets with key resources on them (bacta and tibanna for example), precedent already states it can't be done.
We'll get back to you.

Farquak is a made up planet, as are it's two moons, Farquak Junior and Gernon.
#8 4:03am 19/02/03
The holograph part sounds just like a Warders shifting cloak in WoT.
#7 3:49am 19/02/03
Right, one question. Is Farquak a canon planet or did you make it up?
#6 11:44pm 18/02/03
I'll wait for Lup to get back on the organic hull, but note, only shipyards based on or in the same planetary system as Farquak Junior can build it. Also, the hull is sort of like thaton a W-wing, which is invisible as long is it doesn't fire, or drive very fast, from my understanding. And this is going to be the only ship with the hull. I agree that it should only absorb the sensor beams that don't try to find ships. And as far as ships detecting the telementary, I know that, but their commanders need to think about doing that, and back tracking where it was sent from. Shields will come down to 355 SBD. Please note, it has almost no offensive weaponry for something that size.
