I took a break from the Andro fleet and whipped up this beasty:

The Cobra in this pic was downsized a bit for dramatic purposes (as if FX guys never do that....)

Not a big starwars fan but this looks nice. only problem is that the Starwars ship should be running from the fed not the way you got it.

BOO!!! Another 'Feds are the good guys' post!!! BOO!!!

(no offense)

Great work, as usual WZ. Any plans for more of the Imperal Navy after those kiick-a** Andros you're workin' on?

Yikes!

I don't see any problem - the Enterprise isn't running, she's escorting. I never cared much for that whole pointless ST vs SW debate

No need if Khalee continiues his claims that Trek is superior I'll direct him to the MSN group

My post was merely to educate him I don't want this thread to turn into a warzone

Aye, she works in SFC 3, though I didn't include any specs for it. I wasn't entirely sure what to do with them (same as the Andros) so I just let the players make up their own minds. It's a damn shame SFC only has so many hardpoint options, this thing isn't nearly as true to canon as it should be.

Yeah, the Thrawn novels are the main reason I'm still interested in Star Wars. Thrawn isn't the typical cliche bad guy, probably why I like the character so much.

My idea for a *balanced* Star Destroyer was this.

Obviously, you can't put a ship that's as powerful as Star Destroyers are canonically, otherwise it would be able to burn right through Star Trek ships with ease, and Trekkies would run around complaining.

You can't give it craptastic specs either, or Warsies start complaining.

Since to the Empire the Star Destroyers were about the equivilant of CA's, I gave it CA-level specs.

A Star Destroyer has 60 turbolaser cannons...turbolaser cannons are relatively innaccurate and degrade rapidly with range...pulse phasers are the same, and fire 6 little blasts per shot.

So, you put 10 pulse phasers arrayed in front and side arcs, and you have 60 turbolasers, and the approximate firepower of a well-refitted CA (technically, probably more firepower, but no long range weapons and large and easy to hit, so anyone who's smart will snipe it with torpedoes from range 15 and beyond, taking out the weapons advantage).

And don't forget 2 360 mytronics for the 60 ion cannons the ship is supposed to have. Ion cannons disable ship systems temporarily- just like Mytronics.

The result is a well balanced ship, that with proper flying (get in close, tractor and slam them, hope they let you) can take on a Fed DN, and with bad flying will lose to a Fed CL (fire at long ranges, let it snipe you), and is overall a match for a well-refitted CA.

Ok, so 60 turbo lasers, degrade with range and arnt completely accurate... sounds like 60 Dizzies.

The 10 pulse lasers that fire multiple bursts? Sounds like Phaser G2's to me...

I'd give it 24 fighters. 4x squads of 6. A squadron of Interceptors, a squad of Tie Bombers using Mirvs and 2 squads of tie fighters.

Yeah...

But what weapons did the Interceptors and fighters use?

Kaenyne · « **Reply #15 on:** May 07, 2004, 08:29:17 am »

Wow! Wow! Wow! She is nothing short of spectacular! Any plans on doing even bigger Star Destroyers? I seen to remember a rather large black hulled class from a certain comic book series...

Kaenyne · « **Reply #18 on:** May 07, 2004, 08:48:34 am »

Yp, I was just tryin' some bait is all. The Eclipse is one impressive ship. And I have one Eclipse myself, albeit a low poly one. What does yours look like?

Dizzy · « **Reply #19 on:** May 07, 2004, 10:30:08 am »

Right about the Tie-ftrs being weak. I'd use simply regular ftrs for those and PF's for the other alliance ships. Course, the Imperial assault shuttle would be a PF as well...

You can get around the fighter limitation by using 4x PF assault shuttles or cargo carrier container type PF's that are each loaded with Fighters. You could field quite a lot of fighters that way. I like the cargo fighter bay idea. An OP ship can only be setup to carry either PF's or ftrs. You cant mix them. So I'd setup a Star Destroyer as a PF tender and give them 2x Imperial assault shuttles and 2x Carrier Cargo Containers. The containers would simply drop from the Star Destroyer and then launch fighters themselves. Each could carry 24. That pretty much gives you the full compliment. Alternatively, one container could carry PF's So you'd end up with 24 ftrs and 6x Imperial assault shuttles.

A Star Wars mod could be way cool...

A Mon Calimari carrier cruiser could carry something like 4x Carrier cargo containers. The four carrier cargo containers could carry a squad of 4x A-wings, 2x Squads of 4x X-wings and a squad of 4x Y-wings for a total force of 16 small craft. A very deadly force.

Instead of a cargo container, it could house a Corellian corvette... Possibilities are endless...
