[QUOTE="Ambrus, post: 3338523, member: 17691"] [Sblock=OOC][COLOR=Gray]The stats for the vessel seem fairly impressive so far, especially the shield-system. Wow! She's turning into a nice little ship. I'd be curious to know more about her operational history. Did the droids have any luck translating the inscription? I suppose DRK-1X should also spend some time to read through that hand-written journal we found aboard ship; it might present some interesting clues. Aside from being exceptionally helpful and eager, does the ship's computer have any other discernible personality traits? Roughly how sentient and intelligent is it anyway? You've already listed a x2 backup hyperdrive; a very effective backup. Is the price you listed for a x4 hyperdrive meant to be a triple redundancy? If so I think a single backup would be adequate for safety concerns. I'm not certain what you mean by "It already comes with subspace transceiver and standard comms though". Are you talking about the Venerable's current comm or the new proposed hypertransceiver? As long as the ship isn't already capable of real-time hyperspace communication then the droids will indeed purchase and install a new 10k unit. The engine room secret bulkhead sounds good, as long as it doesn't make the room too cramped. We'll likely park EG-6C in the engine room most of the time so that we can plug it directly into the ship's power grid for added power should we need it. It's also been programmed with added repair skill so it can help with maintenance back there as well. We still have a couple of spare encrypted comlinks; I think we'll hookup one of them to R4-M6 and hook up his old one to the power droid so that we can keep it in the loop. The astromech has also been programmed to understand nemoidian as well as with ranks in Astrogation (isn't it weird that a stock astromech doesn't come equipped with Astrogation?) and Profession (cook). It'll be in charge of the engine room and galley. The four battle droids will normally remain stationed at the vessel's four weapon consoles. If possible, I'd also like the weapon's fire control computers to be married to the ship's central computer so that the other droids can directly assume control of them from anywhere in the vessel; bypassing the battle droids for extra accuracy if desired. Can Derek's image disguiser somehow be incorporated into his chassis? Since the device has power-consumption issues, can it be made to draw power directly from his secondary battery? So how did installing a machine-shop and laboratory (with its twin bacta tanks) in the cargo bay impact our available cargo space? Does the 100 ton listing take that into account? So how difficult/time consuming/expensive will it be to attempt to tweak the hyperdrive up to x0.75? I believed that Dofina agreed to go into hiding somewhere safe before the droids returned to Dantooine.
