Ambiguous Ship Question

So with getting approval for SoroSuub I have a question I would like help with. Can we make up some stats for a very uninformative ship? Thus ship is this one:

Now if we are allowed, we were looking at some help with it. Don't want it over powered but I imagine it equal to or better than an ISD or so. Looking at a site other than wookieepedia we going this armament:
- 80 Turbolaser Batteries
- 30 Turbolaser Cannons
- 40 Ion Cannon Batteries
- 30 Quad Laser Cannons

Though Wookieepedia has it saying at least 6 proton torpedo tubes. So a little clarification for this could be helpful here.

Thanks for your time, Diablo.

Re: Ambiguous Ship Question

it is greater than 1,200m, which could mean less than 1,300, so a good ship for comparison would be any in that range 1,200 - 1,300m, I'm thiking venator class at 1,100m, not Imp Stars.

Just my thoughts on it.

Re: Ambiguous Ship Question

I would also say look at the patents for ships of that size for a good place to start off it's arming.

Re: Ambiguous Ship Question

Patents may or may not be a bit of a gamble, though. Everything that went through the Patent Office was custom-designed (to put it lightly and as politely as I possibly can). Using resources from the Wookiee as my colleague Innon said will likely put you on a more accurate benchmark for the vessel's capabilities.

Although, it'd be worth looking into the ship's designers as well. Some ships of that size would have more powerful weapons or more powerful shields or more powerful engines or whatnot. Identify what SoroSuub would do based on its other vessels and plan accordingly.

Personally, I'm thinking it means a Jacuzzi on the bridge.

Looking a little more closely, this is what I see.
Wookieepedia already says:
4 medium turb batteries (that could mean 4 groups of 20 and be replaced to Turbs)
4 heavy Ion cannons (not sure you have the room to increase these from 4 to 40)
30+ laser cannons (meaning one barrel, could be replaced with quads, iffy thou)
6 proton torpedo tubes (use them or scrap them for room to install some of the 40 heavy Ion cannons)

can you link me to your other source?

Re: Ambiguous Ship Question

This is the one I was shown last night:

But I found this one and this one is interesting enough:

I think the second one is more realistic? Agreed? Though I think I would set it out more like this:
50 Heavy Turbolaser Batteries
20 Quad Laser Cannon Batteries
40 Heavy Ion Cannons

Or something. I am not completely sure. I don't see why it would have a gravity well generator installed in it seeming it is based off a large luxury liner... Thus why it is so sleek looking.

<< This is another ship lacking anything useful...

<< This one is the most informative of them all.

Re: Ambiguous Ship Question

After looking at the other sites for this ship, I found 3 different lengths, so no wonder there are different stats for it, You need to decide on a length before you can place weapons. I would go with wookie at greater than 1,200 m.

Re: Ambiguous Ship Question

The Galactic Voyage site has more accurate stats than the others.
Regardless at some point (unknown when) the Council will be coming up with stats for Canon ships for JvS purposes.
