[QUOTE="Fenris2, post: 3223695, member: 7318"] Okay took more of a look at starship designing and had a few Qs/ observations... Given we are Jedi and such, casual killing is out, so... 1) A Tractor beam seems cool, but does it prevent the targeted ship from firing? In the movies they don't fire when snared, but then again, that could also be chalked up to they would have gotten smeared if they did. 2) Ion cannon, should have at least a few. Besides the obvious use fo drivign soemone off w/o killing them, if I put in a droid figther bay and set the droid for minimal damage. Well, then it could be used for training students. Students could practice piloting agianst it, or with an ion cannon, shooting at it without blowing it up. And, the droid could be set to pot shot back just enough to let them know it was alive (DC 15 progrmamign to reduce blasts to minimal). Used droid figthers are cheap enough it that it would not effect ship price one way or another really. 3) We are pre republic, so what about laws on armaments? Anything outlawed, and thus need hidden? --- Possible House Rule combat wise. Having looked at it a bit, the idea of taking DR off before the guns multiplier makes way way much more sense then the alternative. It hardly changes how capital weapons paste starfighters/transports - if they hit - but it really helps prevent a star destroyer from getting skunked by a few smaller ships. . . Pretty much as it should be imho. [/QUOTE]
