General R&D: Liberator class Cruiser
Liberator class Cruiser
Length: 650 meters
Shield Strength: 600 SBD
Hull Strength: 1840 RU
Hangar Capacity:
4 Squadrons of Starfighters
10 Shuttles
Troop Capacity: 5,000 Soldiers
Propulsion: 4 MGLT
Hyperdrive: 4x Past Lightspeed
Armament:
20 Heavy Turbolaser Batteries
20 Heavy Ion Batteries
10 Tractor Beam Projectors
Explanations: Appearing on the scene somewhere around the time of the Battle of Hoth, the Liberator class cruiser is a very advanced warship, carrying a heavy amount of weaponry, and a large capacity of starfighters. None the less the Liberator cruiser does have it drawbacks, for although it has a strong hull typrical of warships this period, it again lacks the shield strength of contemporary Imperial warships, and as well as a very slow speed, and hyperdrive rating.

Make it faster.
No one will build a ship that goes 4MGLT.
Ever.

GC doesn't have any Liberators, I don't think I've ever built them.

Here is the thread in the Shipping Database. It's been so long, I don't remember where I got the stats from.

Well, you can expand the meterage, or reduce the number. Up to you.
If you expand, then you might as well make it a variant.
#12 5:01pm 26/08/04
Mmm, I can reduce that number if you wish me too. Seems though that this ship is way overpacked. Maybe it should be larger. After all, the original weaponry and starfighter complement is more inline with a Republic class Star Destroyer. Since it was built in the same time period, maybe this ship was either meant to be a modified version, or a version built by a competitor.......

5,000 soldiers inside a 650m ship? Sounds a little cramped to me.
#10 3:18am 26/08/04
Well, what are the mods views on this?
#9 1:00am 26/08/04
Hey, I'm just getting the stats off of existing websites, and posting them here.

Yeah I have been wondering why Kracken has been propsing vessels that are so ridiculously slow.
I mean- the CC class are supposed to be like gunships, but they are rated under 10MGLT, which is [i]slow[/i].

For a ship designed around the Battle of Hoth, it's ridiculously slow at sublight and hyperspace. Even with its other stats...
#6 10:50pm 25/08/04
Well, I also reduced starfighter and weaponry in order for it to become a little more realistic.........
#5 10:48pm 25/08/04
Yeah. That was why there was a size dispute... and it was 300 meters last time.
*shrug*
This particular ship has at least three sets of stats giving different lengths.
#4 10:47pm 25/08/04
Well, this is being submitted as 650 meters which is nowhere near an ISD...
#3 10:46pm 25/08/04
Vonta already tried to get this a general R&D... it went nowhere because (in Rebellion, where it was introduced) it served as the Rebel counter to the ISD, and there was a size dispute.
#2 10:44pm 25/08/04
Prolly, but we don't have approved stats for them, and Vonta tried a while back, with with ridicolous stats that were outright rejected.
