Description: This frigate was designed for sale to other parties. Most will be bought by planetary defense forces, but some will be used by Stellar Enterprises for convoy escort.
This ship is built primarity as an anti fighter platform. The large number of laser cannons allows the ship to cut through numberous fighter aircraft. Unfortunately, the price for its heavy anti-fighter armament is few capital grade weapons. The amount of these heavier weapons is sufficiant, however, for most planetary defense fleets. This is because most pirate groups don't have the firepower larger groups can bring.
Most of its anti-fighter weaponry is located on four booms, normally retracted back against the hull. During combat these booms are extended to form an X shape. These booms give its weaponry a wide field of fire. Each has 8 Heavy Laser cannons on it and on the tip has a pair of medium Turbolasers.
To keep the price of these ships down, all are constructed through the use of off the shelf parts that are in high supply. However, the ships used my Stellar Enterprises will be equipt with better sensors and cognative interphase systems for droid operations.

oops, yeah it was supposed to be 24, I forgot to change it when I redid the squadron number.
As for being over powering... the shields and armor are less then an 275 meter corona frigate so I think they are alright and within class range. The weapons are mostly laser cannons and are pretty small. If a fighter that's 9 meters long can have 4 laser cannons, I'm pretty sure you can fit 32 one a ship as large as this.

I don't know if the number of fighters was a mistake or what, but generally (though not a rule) at TRF a squadron equals 12 fighters (making 24 total). However its perfectly fine to have larger numbers of fighters in a squadron, just so long as you have the number in brackets like you do with the 36.

Oh. Whoops. But still, insanity. Overpowered on all aspects.

Your saying a sixty meter ship has two fighter squadrons plus two-thousand people on board? Do you work for the Lolli-pop guild?
