Message: <blockquote data-quote="Verec" data-source="post: 2996345" data-attributes="member: 39164">The Firefly 03 rendered w/ SW tech would be a beast.  A lot of the firefly's aft is engine, so thats a lot of hypermatter reactor or whatever ships of that class use for power.  It's also plenty of space to mount an engine that could match the acceleration of the MF or even a Star Destroyer.  If you think back to the movies, SDs caught up to the MF almost every time they started chasing it in sublight.  Those things had some mad strait line acceleration, and I have no doubt that a firefly would be a rough match in terms of engine mass-total mass ratios.  Of course, a firefly would be built more toward reliability than anything else.  That and the ability to turn around real fast, Crazy Ivans can be useful.Weapons department, I don't know.  I know that the design of a firefly isn't ideal for turrets or fixed weapons.  It's got a nice turret location on top true, but I don't know about other weapons.  Maybe throw a coulple missile launchers under the bridge, there's space down there.  Aft weapons, forget targeting anything through the engine wash.  Maybe some auto blasters port and starboard for point defense.Shields.  People may chose to debate this with me, but I am going to say that every ship in Star Wars has some kind of shield, even if its just to knock micro-meteorites out of the way.  Combat rated shields that can disperse or deflect the energy of proton torpedos and blaster based weapons, those aren't as common.  but a firefly's a fair sized ship, so it needs some protection.  Again, its more reliable than it is powerful.Hyperdrive. . . I think this is where the Firefly-03 in SW would earn its reputation for reliablity.  Give it a x2 multiplier drive that almost never fails.  Extra safties make it verry difficult to get into accidents as well.  I don't know the mechanics well enough to figure this out, but a Firefly should give you plenty of forgiveness with your hyperjumping atics.And thats all I got.</blockquote>
