Star Wars: Ship Designer Quest (1.5)

Reader mode
35 space to play with. 30 cost to play with. Needs guns and special to qualify.

I'll go back through the post and take a look but it looks like we throw everything we developed in and call it a win?
 
Oh cool, this is back.

I'm having trouble remembering what the requirements for the ship were, but I do think that the optional astromech and an autochef would be a good idea.

The requirements are for a light freighter for in-sector parcel delivery. The numbers the customer wished for are the second value behind each system.
 
[]Plan: Getting back in the swing of it
-[][Plating] Katrich Special Mk. I (Compartment +5; Special Compartment: Armor +5 (R1); Cost +10)
-[][Cargo] 2 times Standard Pressured Freight Space (Compartment +2: Special Compartment +10; Cost +2)
-[][Blaster] Put it into a turret. (Compartment +15; Weapons +10; Cost +30)
-[][Ship Acc] Astromech will be offered as an extra. (Cost: +5; R1 all categories)
-[][Ship Acc] Autochef will be included in the gally. (Cost: +5; Special Compartment: +5)
-[][Ship Acc] Holotable will be installed, allowing the crew to relax. (Cost: +5; Special Compartment: +5)

The way I see it this load out, while more expensive than what they want, is very good as a freighter and has enough defenses to drastically reduce losses from piracy which should help defray long term costs.
 
We should offer a basic ship that doesn't come with any of the add ons. Some people wont like the extra cost, others might want, or already have, a different model droid they want to use on their ship. None of the proposed extras are critical and several seem like the things someone looking for a new ship would already have.

Could we also have the Autochef and Holotable as part of a "luxury options package" and include the Astromech in that package, like trim levels on cars?

I.e. the Armored Courier Prototype S (standard), Prototype ES (expanded, with the astromech), and Prototype L-ES (astromech, holotable, autochef)?

I would swap to regular plating to lower costs. As the plan currently stands its price might be too high for local users.

My issue is I like there being an armor category and having a reroll. Does weapons get a 1d100 roll or are they the fixed values (10)?

No, not currently. But if you don't land the precurement Marketing will look into it.

If no re-roll is given, just a single d100 will be rolled. With a re-roll I roll two dice and take the better result.
 
[ ] Plan Roll to target
-[ ][Plating] Katrich Special Mk. I (Compartment +5; Special Compartment: Armor +5 (R1); Cost +10)
-[ ][Cargo] 2 times Standard Pressured Freight Space (Compartment +2: Special Compartment +10; Cost +2)
-[ ][Blaster] Fixed placement. (Compartment +15; Weapons +5; Cost +20)
-[ ][Ship Acc] Astromech will be offered as an extra. (Cost: +5; R1 all categories)


Tentative plan thoughts. With us only needing a 10 on weapons I think the minimum to unlock the category would be good enough. Armor is a nice addition and I like it as a signature thing that makes our ships unique. It seems we start at 5/35 for cost and I don't want us to overshoot 200%. This plan puts us at 42 but gives us a reroll for all categories. Hopefully what this means is we'll really exceed all requirements and so the fact it's 20% over the requested budget won't be a dealbreaker. I'm not sure if this meets special component requirements though.

Edit: I like what @RaptorusMaximus did to figure out what a final configuration looks like. Here's how I think my plan would end up.

Aurek Design
Ship Class: Light Freighter / Courier
Compartment: 47 / 50
  • JZ-1 Fusial Thrust Engine +15
  • HYd-889 +10
  • Katrich Special Mk. I +5
  • 2x Standard Pressured Freight Space +2
  • Fixed Blaster Mk. 1 +15
Speed: (D100 +30) / Goal = 75 (R3)
  • JZ-1 Fusial Thrust Engine +20 (R2)
  • HYd-889 Speed +10 (R1)
Maneuverability: (D100 +30)/ Goal = 25 (R2)
  • JZ-1 Fusial Thrust Engine +20 (R1)
  • HYd-889 +10 (R1)
Weapons: (D100 +5) / Goal = 10
  • Fixed Blaster Cannon Mk. 1 +5
Special Compartment: 15 / 10
  • Katrich Special Mk. I +5
    • Armor D100 +5 / ?? (R1)
  • 2x Standard Pressured Freight Space +10
Cost: 42 / 35
  • JZ-1 Fusial Thrust Engine +5
  • HYd-889 +10
  • Katrich Special Mk. I +10
  • 2x Standard Pressured Freight Space +2
  • Fixed Blaster Cannon Mk. 1 +20
  • Astromech (Optional) +5

I'm not sure how that final costing works but if the hyperdrive is free then cost matches. I forgot that we don't have a shield generator so some armor is probably required.

great to see this return.

Wrote all this out mainly to help myself get the numbers straight. QM please let me know if I'm doing things wrong.

This would put us about 20% over the requested cost, but I don't remember how bad that would be for us. This seems like a reasonable enough spread for us, and I like the idea of using the proprietary armor-plating that we already have. I could be persuaded to downgrade the blaster to a fixed-mount over the turret, but I wouldn't like it-I'm not a fan of fixed weapons on anything larger than a starfighter. Lastly, I think we need at least 1 of the offered 'luxury' options, and the Holotable seems better to me than the Cook-Droid.

I somehow missed the moratorium, I'm too used to seeing the banner on the bottom of the page counting down nowadays. Sorry about that Jax, edited my post.

The costs for the Hyperdrive and Sublights are already included. As you only have two of them available, there wasn't much decision-making, so I did it for you.

So long as you added everything up as I posted it, then it's right.

Small cost increase over goal but performance should justify it as a low frills courier or armored light freighter.
