We got clarification that the weakness is from the last major war which was a long time ago and tech has made it no longer a danger.

That's reassuring, but upon reflection I still would prefer not to risk legal trouble.

We're a bit small to handle it well.

If that option wins though, I won't complain.

I mean the last galactic wide war. Any conflict since then saw only limited actions and short battles. No big fights between stardestroyers. For these small scale fights the current system works, espacilly as both sides never have the time to experiment with their tech.

[X] Make the changes and continue with the project. Time was ticking.

Okay that makes sense that attitudes from the last war are still in effect (which was how many centuries ago?)

From the NSW it is 9 and 68 years since it is 32 BBY. For the core and the Republic going Reunification Wars about 7.

It wasn't. It was a regional conflict. Had a big impact because of the Bacta supply being disrupted but it wasn't a major war by Galactic standards.

We have Eriadu and Greater Seswenna, Naboo and its coalition backing us up. Along with the other bigger shipyards in the mid and outer rim like Eriadu Manufacturing Shipyards, QOM Shipyards, and Sluis Van Shipyards. We have a decent backing system that can help us stay out of the Judicials' view. Not to mention the ORSF does not help or work with the Judicials so the ships won't be found out. And since this model is only being sold to the ORSF it won't be available for someone else to look into it.
 
Here is today's tally of votes.

Okay, I'm going to call the vote Tomorrow morning. So, if anyone wishes to change their votes in light of the last discussion, you have until then.
 
[X] Continue as your original plan called for.

The biggest problem with the modification for the turbo laser is that the ORSF's biggest opponent is the Trade Federation, and they have a lot of power in the Senet. I expect the Trade Federation will be using all sorts of tricks to make life harder for them, I would be shocked if there are not a upswing in "random" inspections to check that weapon and safety laws are being followed.

The Trade Federation is not the ORSF's biggest opponent. They haven't had any major interactions since the end of the Stark Hyperspace War. The Militarist faction in the senate would also keep blocking any attempts to screw over the ORSF and Rim SDFs since they are the ones pushing for the military restrictions to be removed and the Republic Navy and Army rebuilt.
 
Also the TF won't be worried about our corvettes since they have full scale line ships in service.


If they take an intreast it will be when we do our Crusier desgin. But if they see its an crusier/Carrier they might not look to hard on the assumption that a it won't be an issue as a mere carrier.

On the other hand there is likely to be more scrutiny on smaller ships due to a certain event...

"They are interested." Your father looked extremely pleased when he came back from the surface. He had visited some friends, among them one or two higher officials of the Temaris Defense Fleet. Now he looked like a bounty hunter who just captured a high-value target alive and was expecting a great payout. Father even rubbed his hands and was chuckling like some villain right out of a holo drama. "Very interested indeed. Your instincts were right, son. They shat themselves when they thought about losing that new big, expensive Dreadnought of theirs to some small pirate gang with fighters or light units. The news from Naboo seems to have hugely impacted them. And not only them."

"Oh?" You leant back in the chair. That was good news but apparently father had even more. He didn't continue straight away, instead, he filled two glasses with the expensive Corellian whisky and offered one to you. Then he sat down himself, looking smug, and took a sip.

"Oh yes. It isn't official, but apparently the PDFs of the sector plan to work closer together in the light of what happened over Naboo. All of this is still secret and the idea is that it stays that way, until some corporation or big-time pirate tries something. Then they will notice that there are agreements in place, forcing the rest of the sector PDFs to help the victim out with at least one-fourth of their assets. And not one of these PDFs wish to send their expensive new ships. So…"

"So they need light units that can deliver a punch. Not alone, but in larger numbers, it would be enough."

Yeah...
The Naboo incident really slammed home just how scary small ships can be.

I don't think anyone would dismiss any warship as just a carrier. The Marauder-class Corvette is a carrier too, and everyone who can afford one gets them. A Cruiser's a Cruiser, especially if we still plan on designing it after the Donnager, meaning it'll be packing turbolaser batteries, studded with point defence laser cannons and be packing forward and rear-facing torpedo launchers in addition to being a carrier.
 
We can't build a cruiser next ship to build would be an upper limit corvette, then a frigate before we can start work on any cruiser designs.
 
[X] Continue as your original plan called for.

-[X] Inform the Colonel that the option to make these changes and duplicate the CR90's setup exists, and we can do so if the customer prefers, but recommend against it on account of it being crazy
-[X] Instead, install a second turbolaser turret to cover additional firing arcs and connect it to the one turret generator we already have.

In Corvette Frame when the political situation is talked about, I got the impression that Trade Federation and Mid Rim military, of witch the ORSF are the effective leaders, are expected to be at odds to each other.

They are. Many Mid Rim military are now warry of the Trade Federation, after the Blockade and Invasion of Naboo. And how they seem to have dodged the wrath of the Republic. This directly leads to a kind of panic among Mid Rim Worlds who face a reality where the Judicals and the CoreWorld PDFs might not save them, if the TF comes knocking.

Voting will beclosed at 10 CEST.

Note that this vote is outdated. It made sense when I first came up with it under the assumption that connecting the turbolasers to the main generator posed a real tactical risk to the ship, but as Jax has since informed us, technology has changed since the regulations were made, and continuing with our original plan will achieve nothing other than producing an objectively inferior ship.

Making Tarkin aware of this problem is the last thing we want under such circumstances.

    Good now we have 4 slots to install shields and crew and any missiles we might want.

    We've got 8 compartment slots to work with. It was 6 before we made this adjustment.

    My educated guesses for the sizes of next turn's equipment, based on previous rounds, are 4 compartments for a Large size shield, and 2 for Normal size crew quarters.

    Which will hopefully leave 2 slots for some kind of special armament, like torpedoes, or tractor beams.
