Conquerer Class Battleship Resubmission (THC R&D)

Kanbal, i personally think i got shafted on these stats, its massively underpowered as it was Drakiss who forced me to rip its stats down. Can you suggest weapon increases please?

80 Democles Inc. NK-7 Ion Cannons (computer assisted targeting)

40 Heavy Multi Purpose Missle launchers
3 Layers of shielding, each 1/2 the value of Executors shielding system.

Ship Background:

When Centrepoint destroyed the Hapan Fleet and the New Republic shared information regarding Heavier models of lasers, the glaring weaknesses inherent in the Hapan Navy were exposed. Lacking a top end ship to 'hold the line' against Imperial Class Star Destroyers and MonCal 90a Heavy Cruisers, the Darkstar was commissioned. Now with the standard fleet ship design completed, Hapes set about to design a higher model of ship that would compete with Heavier ships, such as Super Star Destroyers. Although heavier ships, such as the Executor would defeat the Conquerer easily, the ship itself was not designed to withstand single combat, but to act as a command and control craft from which Hapes could stage assaults, and Fleets could rally around, something Hapes had always lacked. The Conquerer is a powerful ship needless to say, but 'even a lone lion can be killed by a pack of Hyenas'. Lacking any starfighter defences of its own, it relies on support ships and its own vast fighter complement (4 times that of an Imperial Star Destroyer) to defend from starfighter attack.

Obviously the Conquerer is based on the Super Star destroyer the Executor, and so naturally most of its major deficiencies have been accounted for. One bonus is an unconventional shield technique in which if a large object (Fighter sized, although it can detect and react to much smaller) is 'sensed' and the shield retracts momentarily, drawing further in onto itself and suddenly expanding, destroying the incoming target. The crashing of a single snub fighter caused the destruction of the Executor, and this new shield system, although heavily damaging to that particular level of sheilds, could be used in defence of the ship in the off chance of the same incident.

Also, due to the modular design used in its construction, it can be constructed in 3 seperate parts, only being worked together before the vital systems such as electronics and life support are linked.
