The company trait is a must have. If what I am reading into about the trait is that all weapons require 50% less compartment spaces. Taking our corvette at the moment, when we design variants of it we can literally double the number of weapons in the ship for the same amount of space. Also best to learn about future plans from potential buyers.

For the PDF and Naboo with their input on what they want and what we can offer it would be a major. Boost we can push our own ideas for ships. Specifically we can push for our next sized Corvette to be what they buy from us. We can push the 200 meter long missile Corvette with our new weapons trait making it possible to equip it with many quad lasers to be anti-starfigher/pirate and the many missile launchers making it a threat to even capital ships. And since missiles are considered secondary weapons they would be overlooked as a threat and be less looked into by the Judicials. Plus whatever the custom Corvette load out both want in the meantime. Completing the current ORSF contract and a pair of contracts from the PDF and Naboo Royal Navy should give us more than enough money to expand our shipyards further for more construction. Plus we can push the Railgun to them and try and get at least one of them to request it so we can get our junior designer happy and promoted.
I don't think Naboo will take the missile corvette idea at this juncture. they are still adjusting to having a real navy which means that the bean counters will be wary of a ship with higher ammo costs. I think they will want a laser/turbo laser boat because those guns are dirt cheap to shoot. they'll open up to it later on.
also i'm wondering if its too soon to push the VSC 2 series since the 1 series isn't even in the field yet and with how the votes are going we're gonna end up being able to massively boost its fire power in future varients.

Though Naboo might be more interested working with plasma, considering the amount they have, being a major exporter of that stuff...
i checked the wiki and those would operate like laser cannons or turbo lasers and have a bonus against shields.

Which is why it is future project not the next one we want to do with them which is another version of the Corvette we are working on right now. The missile Corvette would be for after we have expanded as it will be an extra large frame and will only be a Corvette by size when the firepower it has would put it in frigate range. Same as the Marauder is actually a frigate despite its size. When we move on to frigate sized ships the upsized Marauder load out and missiles would be a very good ship. Carries at least one if not two squadrons as well and it serves as a very good ship for any fleet.

critical question: normal misses or Assault missiles?

Proton torpedoes, I would think. Especially if we're designing it to go to work on bigger ships.
Assault missles are cruise missle sized.

For the Corvette mostly standard with a pair of assaults and the frigate with only assaults. We likely won't be able to get around using too many assault missiles on a Corvette with the Judicials just yet. Though if the size is good I say take the risk and roll the dice on it. The reduced size of the weapon slots going forward means we can very likely fit the majority of the weapons on that picture I am basing the Corvette off of.
Normal concussion missiles also tend to be stronger than proton torpedoes anyways. Plus they are a terror to fighters.

One is a superweapon and the other requires an extremely rare, expensive, and nearly impossible to acquire material. Plans will do us little good. It is that kind of over engineering that normally results in dud products and failing businesses.

that isn't what it means. they aren't talking about submariners as we know them ships that go under the water. this is referring to invisible and stealth ships that serve the strategic role subs do in our world.
In this case it's a ship that goes into hyperspace and can not only stay there for an indefinite amount of time and not only stay stationary to a spot in real space but can actually track targets in real space and fight ships in real space without leaving hyperspace.
And if you got the only ships that can do that then everyone else is screwed in spacial combat cuz you might as well be a vengeful ghost.

Well, there was the IPV-2C. Which was reasonably well-armed for such a small ship. Even with a cargo hold big enough for making impactful mercy missions, it had space for two dual laser cannon turrets, the entire stealth system and four proton torpedo launchers. Though apparently, the stealth systems are pretty ruinously expensive, and they're still not able to hide the magnetic signature.

The joke would last until somebody else figured something similar. Eventually a lot of Toms, Dicks and Harrys would have access to that and shipping lanes would be *fucked*.
Indeed, why keep a navy beyond the bare minimum? There's only two types of ships to a submariner: other submarines and targets.

im sure someone will figure out ASW technology after which the local equivalent of anti submarine frigates/cruisers will become ubiquitous
