'Three-Arms' Customized D-5 Mantis

[vass Prong]

Official Name: 'Three-Arms'
Faction/Affiliation: Vass Prong
Classification: Freighter

Stock/Custom: Custom

Dimensions- (Imperial Standard Meters)
Height: 58     
Width: 74
Length: 68

Manufacturer: Kuat Drive Yards

Energy Source: 3 engines on the foils, a hyperdrive inside the ship that boosts the foil engines for hyperspace.
Hyper drive rating: 3.4

Crew Necessity: 1
Optional crew/ passengers: 5

Armament:
-dual laser cannons under the cockpit, 360* arc, but will be obstructed by the bottom foil and the ship.

Cargo Capacity: 40 tons
Consumables: 1.5 months

Other:

-Top hatch installed for loading cargo on the upper ramp.
-Removed medical bay for more Cargo space.
-Removed Holo-terminal and placed the engineering bay there.
-A.I. Loading crane, mounted above the cargo hold door (main door).
-Additional crew quarters optionally before the captain's quarters.

-Power couplings modified to allow foil engines to power ship systems aswell, on the prior model they only served to power either propulsion or weapon output on the foils. Now they can also divert power to systems on the ships body.

Description/role:

Originally intended as a patrol craft it drew Vass's eye for the possibility to modify the craft. The entire layout of the ship is built for customizability, a large internally open frame, 3 engines outside of the ship and a separate hyperspace block on the ship. After buying the ship at a repo sale of a deceased Bounty Hunter he immediately sold the expensive foil mounted laser cannons. He heavily modified the power infrastructure of the foil engines to increase the output, using the 'overcharge' of the foil engines that is normally used for the hyperspace jump to get more speed and manoeuvrability out of the spacecraft.

The money he got for the weaponry he put into removing the medical bay facilities and taking out the internal walls. Main costs however went into installing an internal cargo crane and a top-loading hatch.

What is left is a very fast ship, with a decent loading capacity. It has to trust on its speed to keep it save from the threats of deep space. The idea is to carry small, but valuable cargos.

Hey buddy, Ash here. I don't know if you are still working on this. I'm assuming no since there is no WIP on it. You need to put in the statistics in. A few other notes i see is that the hyperdrive rating is too high. About the fastest around here is a 3.0. Consumables is too high: that is for how long it can stay out without getting food, water, fuel... Air!. Small ships like thins probably push two months or so. Once you get the stats in, then a more detailed review can be put up.

Thanks, you have a link for the template? couse I couldnt find it~!

There ya go. All the templates for any tech are found at the bottom of the page as soon as you get into the main tech board. If you have any questions, feel free to shout em out, either here or in the cbox.

[vass Prong]

Thanks for the quick response! please feel free to say if I over, or under rated my stats!

Alrighty buddy. Lets do this little informal review. All the proposed changes shall be in red.

All you need to do is say it has a hyperdrive rating. With that, we know it has a hyperdrive.

Crew Necessity: 1
Optional crew/ passengers: 5

Armament:
-dual laser cannons under the cockpit, 360* arc, but will be obstructed by the bottom foil and the ship.
-Foil weapons have been removed to increase the power for propulsion and maneuverability. (might get weapons mounted in the future with a possibility to switch between weapon power and propulsion).

You should know that power isn't constantly supplied to the weapons, and could be easily taken away from weapons to boost propulsion.

Cargo Capacity: 40 tons
Consumables: 1.5 months

Speed: 7
Maneuverability: 7

Alright. Speed and maneuverability seem fine to me. With only one weapon emplacement, and that having a limited field of view, is combat effectiveness against both starfighters and especially capital ships are limited. Also, reliability for any ship, especially modified ones I.E. the Millennium Falcon aren't very reliable, so that number would be down to no more than a 5 or so.

Im seeing plenty of spelling mistakes. Please just take a minute to double check your work.


Future projects:

-Turning the captain's Quarters into a rear turret.
-Giving the foils a power transferring unit, so that it can mount weapons again with the option of compromising movement for heavy firepower.
-increasing the power infrastructure from the hyperdrive to the foil engines to optimalize power distribution (currently the engine of the Hyperdrive also powers the cockpit lasers and shields) making the energy generated by all engines to be variably distributed between shields, lasers and propulsion. But this is a far of dream.

Again, power distribution is kinda a more or less basic thing on any starship. There is no use having power supplied to weapons that aren't being used. This is why there is a hyperdrive spin-up, and takes a minute for it to be engaged: power is being supplied to it so it can actually make the jump.

There ya go, bud. Mainly some small stuff, but it should be more than enough to get the ball rolling on this before a mod tackles it. Also make sure to remove the WIP

Here we go, I'll be updating the post as things move along for my character, so if you could give me a heads up wether the modifications I plan to do in the future would be okay aswell?

Right now he is very low on credits though, so it might take a while.

[Fromikeable]

• Can just put the affiliation as your character if none other fits.
• I’m assuming those dimensions are in meters?
• Could I get that classification updated? The rest can hold off until then.

[vass Prong]

like so?

[Fromikeable]

Very nice. Three more quick things and you're set amico.

• Considering he sold the weapons on the foils, you can remove them from the armament list. Just slap that such has been done in the description please?
• We can go ahead and flat-out delete the stats. Don't want 'em, don't need 'em, don't have no time for 'em, get me gurl?
• I'm assuming by the "Future Projects" bit that you'll want to update this app as time goes on. Just let me know when and if you do so, and we'll shuffle it back into pending for quick reapprovals.

I really should have caught these sooner considering how minor they are, so I apologize for that. Do for me these edits three, and upon thee I shall bestow green approval.

[vass Prong]

Done, Thanks!
