He strolled from the station for weapons control back to the commander’s seat in the middle of the bridge. “Impressive.” Colonel Tarkin’s voice was still relatively flat as he looked around the unfinished bridge, but you were sure that you could hear a hint of acknowledgement in it, even if his face stayed expressionless. It really shouldn't be too hard to put together a "pocket" fleet line, you jut have to look in the right places. Tack on some missile-launcher hardpoints and you've got a lot of teeth for a carrier.Īnd if you need a heavy punch? Not much does that better in "smallish" than a Carrack. Could go for a Star Galleon under the "freighter" laws and then just 'happen' to point out that it wouldn't take much more than a fusion cutter and a decent mag-con field to create a big open hangar out of it, although you'd probably be able to put together a purpose-built version that would do a better job. They are highly durable for their size and are kilo for kilo probably some of the best warships around in terms of maneuverability and ability to punch above their weight class.įar as a pocket carrier? Quasar Fires do a pretty good job.
This is how you sell it to the "budget navy" people. They're small, with relatively low crew requirements. Putting together a variant of one of those would be great. Both are under 200 meters, never mind 600. Because if perfectly round ships were a sane enough design to get built in real life (despite the minor things called physics and drag), we can probably get some really silly things to work to get around treaties in Star Wars.įar as us putting together a navy? Marauders exist. Rather than trying to make a pocket capital, it would be much easier to make a ship with a comparable displacement to a Venator or Acclamator but be only 490 meters long.
Quite a lot of the quirks of Star Wars design - the exposed bridges, lack of automation, and large ship sizes - could very well be technological limitations of the setting.įrankly, I find it safer to presume designs from other settings are impossible or impractical until proven otherwise and focus any efforts to make a mockery out of the Russon Reformation rules to something that we're certain will work: rule lawyering. I kinda hate to be the spoilsport here, but do you guys even know is Star Wars even remotely has the technology to build a ship from another setting? Just because it's a science fiction setting with robots does not mean there's the same kind of automation or micronization we get in our world, let alone another sci-fi setting.
