Star Wars: Ship Designer Quest

Reader mode
the issue with the hammerhead is that rather then mere updates it needs a full on Hammerhead II to be devloped. the layout is actually pretty good since that big prow ends up protecting the main body of the ship from harm.

though honestly if we build a crusier i want to introduce centerline turrets to star wars ship building as it would let us get more out of our ships.

Though I think maybe another systems upgrade may be a good idea too, since we may not know if they updated those since Ruusan but again if we can get those plans on what our local defense fleet has done with them i would appeciate it.
 


This is an interesting video that has some information that could be useful, especially on the philosophy of the Imperial navy,( though probably influenced by the nationalization of nearly all of the fighter factories).



And here is a decent video on the military ships in the clone army.

the Imp-star II actually had one of the reasons for my wanting to do center line turrets.

Octuple barbette turbolaser

An octuple barbette turbolaser was a weapons system installed on Imperial II-class Star Destroyers. The turbolaser cannon was marked by eight individual barrels arranged in rows of four on a barbette mounting. They were placed on the dorsal hull of the Imperial II-class Star Destroyer, on each...

the Star destroyer mounts 8 of these with four in a line on each side. a centerline mounting would only need 4 to gain the same firepower and they could be stair-stepped which would let all of them be fired forward at the same time.

So essentially refurbished OS, and software. Star Wars weapons seem kind of static though so i imagine it has the same performance just gone through a few overhauls to have it perform more or less the same as it was introduced during the Mandoloarian wars and not fall apart.

That isn't true at all. People think that the technology is static because things don't look different. But technology has very much advanced and changed over time. The Star Wars galaxy has also reached a point where much of its technology is matured so there aren't massive leaps forward all the time instead it is a slow steady improvement.

the only real jumps we see are new ways of applying what they have or require access to special resources.

I see, but all i'm thinking of is maybe refurbishing the engines and maybe updating the weaponry from Dreadnaughts heavy cruisers or older model ships. or replicating (modernized) versions of the older weaponry.

That is again only because it all look the same. They have developed more powerful weapons and defenses over the many thousands of years. A ship from the Old Republic would not have the power to match a ship of the same size from the modern era unless it was also equipped with modern technology. There is also a reason interdictors from Revan's time would not work now because the Hyperdrives are more powerful and advanced than what was used during that time as well. It was why it took reworking and advancing the tech during the Clone Wars and Imperial Era to get viable interdictors again.
 
[X] Plan Vulkan lives

It also was probably an issue of lack of live experience with the systems, as things had been at peace for a long time. Just because the technology can support something doesn't mean the designers know how to do it, nor the pilots and engineers know how to use it, and war is a field that's lain mostly fallow for lifetimes in the time of this quest.

i'm not saying they haven't improved. i'm saying they haven't had any large jumps like we have had in living memeory RL.
 
In terms of company survival we all have to look at what the base timeline has going on and how it can seriously harm our chances. Add in any chaos rolls from Jax and could be either helpful or harmful. A good example of this is in this scenario would be if Ventress somehow managed to assassinate Count Dooku. From that moment onward Sidious would lose control of a rather portion of the Separatists. This would mean that true believers in the Separatists cause can prolong the war and could even intensify it. For everyone must remember that not only were Sidious and Count Dooku were in communication with each other, they were also the leaders of their respective factions. Sidious would control the Republic, while Dooku commands the CIS. Together they would manipulate the war into proceeding how they want to, which battles would be lost and won, top secret info being leaked such as troop movements and battle plans easily compromised. This was all for conducting the war to end on their own terms. But with Dooku removed from play and a militant hardliner in control of the CIS the war would take a very drastic turn for the worse. Can anyone give an example on why that might be?
 
Its important to remember our fate lies in both the almighty GM and the ever changing power of the Dice gods and their favor.

    At the moment I don't plan to go too far away from the main plot of Star Wars. As your world is completely OC and the sector at large also, I think I've more than enough room to maneuver abit to tell a story. Also remember, you built ships not change the course of the galaxy. You will learn about what happens in the galaxy via Holonet News and rumors, etc.

    I might change my stance on that later, so don't nail me on it. But for the moment you can believe in the known plot.

    Because they have been around for tens of thousands of years. Their technology is matured at this point and they are far beyond anything we have leaped from and to. All their large leaps happen in the past when the technology is new. Since then they have had steady improvement and advancement.

    Personally I've always liked the comparison to the spear. A Roman Legionary from Ceasar's days could still fight in a battle in the 15 Century with a spear. The spear tip might be gotten better but the idea of the spear is the same. This is also true for the technology change in Star Wars. They use the same technology but it can't develop anymore so they only refine it more and more. We shouldn't forget that the large leaps in technology in our world is a rather recent event and for the longest time the fundamental tools were the same, just more refined than before.

    Yeah but the massive leaps already happened way in the past. It is well documented in the source books what used to be and what is now. The essential guide to warfare tells and shows you how much the technology has changed over the last 25000+ years of history.
     
    Also the literal multiple dark ages and technological regression that happens several times over the course of those tens of thousands of years. Make it harder to keep advancing when you need to remake it all again. But by the modern era they had surpassed the last pre dark ages era in technology and power.
     
    Fun little idea for us to develop for the Galactic Civil war for the rebels. I give all you guys a hint it's nickname is the "mobile coffin" and it's accuracy is said to be so poor that the only time it hit anything was when it was kicked into Jim. Wink wink, nudge, nudge.
