We don't need to be all dooming it won't really be fun for the quest if this becomes just tie fighter production simulator, so can imagine that it will not be as bad as you think it will be.

"Want more bigger ship."
"Bigger ship more good."
Most likely the Empire will just ignore our little backwater since we don't have anything impressive enough for an important official to take notice. Even if we get lucky, we're not gonna be a Kuat Drive Yards.
We may want to ignore doing any sort of fightercraft then. Given the way they dealt with the possibility of possible fightercraft threats in legends by, I think pretty much nationalizing all fightercraft production at some point…
At least this will be far in the future in quest. I mean, the dice could go crazy and give the incumbent a

It's too bad Gram Bell Iblis isn't running for Supreme Chancellor, he'd have gotten my vote on the spot, just so I could see the fireworks.

Holy shit, Teem won in a landslide! ...Hey I'm not gonna say no to less taxes on our small business.
I remember pitching we base it on the space pods from gundam both because that would be useful in starports and because it can help our own production capcity.
SP-W03 Space Pod
The SP-W03 Space Pod is a civilian use mobile pod from the design series Mobile Suit Variation. This simple ball-shaped space worker pod was built for constructing space colonies. The area around the cockpit is covered with glass to ensure visibility during work. In the short story "SOLDIER's...

We'll have to see more on the specifics in the next update, buuuuuut...
This does sound like a good baseline design to work off of. Perhaps also using it as a transport for astromechs, who can handle the more precise parts of the job that the bigger manipulators of the utility craft itself can't.I remember pitching we base it on the space pods from gundam both because that would be useful in starports and because it can help our own production capcity.

Could add something like the benchs on little bird helicopters to it so droids or workers in space suits can ride along.
huh, I've never watched gundam but that's basically what I was imagining anyway.I remember pitching we base it on the space pods from gundam both because that would be useful in starports and because it can help our own production capcity.

I'm not sure if that's viable considering the way starships work. Secure harnesses would be able to keep people in their seats, but it still leaves them at greater risk of harmful G forces, since they're on the edges of the utility craft and thus will experience much worse inertial force than the inside crew when it makes a turn. If it always goes very slow then this is fine, but space is big, so you'll want to get a move on if you need to go from place to place to do your job. This isn't a concern with droids though, naturally.
So I just found out... twin ion engines are already in production even if the TIE fighters aren't. They are a pretty mature technology actually.
That mod would be for space port and shipyard models aka the ones that can't risk going fast.

Hm... fair enough. I was thinking of it as being carried around in larger ships like Lucrehulks and used for on-the-go repairs

And this is better than a repair droid how?
In those cases use mag clamps so you can haul droids and spare parts safely.
move around the big ass replacement hull panels so the droids can weld them in place.

Because repair droids are meant for more precise or small scale tasks, not handling large ship parts. If the Trade Federation has a repair droid the size of a starfighter, then that'd be a different story.

Huh. Well it looks like this is going to become a complete mess because I'm pretty sure everyone just realised that the Senate's authority and legitimacy literally goes to the highest bidder now, no matter the legal way of things should be or all those other 'niceties'. Gonna be real interesting seeing what the result for Naboo is, because this is one of the outcomes where the canon battle that happens should still occur in some form because Qui-Gon Jinn is definitely not going to accept this Senate telling him to 'ignore' the situation.
Which means we probably should end up in a situation (if the Force's guidance is anything like the canon path) where we've got a Naboo that liberated itself, Palpatine pissed because something went wrong which meant that the Senate's view on him flipped from 'victim wishing for the best outcome' to 'political creature taking advantage of his planet's weakness in an attempt to progress his status', and then there's a Senate which is completely ignoring all the wrecked battledroids, war vehicles and warship wreckage scattered all over Naboo proving that the Trade Federation actually invaded and attempted to conquer an independent and Senate recognised planet.
The CIS is going to be fascinating going forwards.

Not ignoring but definitely slowballing it. If the Senate could make it go away they would, but Corellia is still a major power in the Core and will probably be willing to pay the price to make something stick in the end.
Even if that price turns out to be "I have no idea how those worlds managed to afford to double the size of their System Defense Forces, officers" as Jedi shake their heads sadly behind them. Or the more direct route of hiring out their own military, one step removed, as "security contractors" at appallingly low rates to those with similar contracts to Naboo and wish to get out of them early.

I'd hope not because if the Separatists weren't being held back by Palpatine then they would have crushed the Republic even with the clone army.
if it does happen then I'd imagine if we stay with the Republic with so many companies switching sides we could likely get government backing just for being one of the ship producers that sided with them. although it would likely only be minor because they'll have bigger shipyards. if we side with the Separatists... we're going to get eaten by one of the megacorps, I can't see any other way that would go down.
