Under Review AP1 Imperator Class. (interceptor)

[ImperialEevee]

Name: AP1 Imperator Class.
Credits: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/T-65B_X-wing_starfighter#Weapons_and_defense, https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Scimitar.
Consolidation Thread: NA.
Description: The vehicle looks like a mix between a sith infiltrator ship and an X-wing. Its wings can swing upward forming an X shape with a bit of a circle shape from the curved pylons on each section. The front is a long, sharp triangle shape. The entire star fighter is painted dark gray with two red stripes down the center. When docked the wings fold so it can be stored side by side other fighters like it.

CLASSIFICATION

• Type: Starfighter.
  • Vessel: Starfighter.
    • Dimensions: Length: 43 feet. Width: 38 feet. Height: 7.5 feet.
    • Crew: One (Pilot.)

ATTRIBUTES

• Durability: average.
• Speed: average.
• Defensive Capabilities: average.
  • Gear: Durasteel hull, sensor jammer, and deflector shield generator.
• Offensive Capabilities: very high.
  • Armaments: 8X wing mounted Paris laser cannons. 2X forward hull mounted Paris laser cannons.
• Scarcity: Common.
  • Manufacturer: Galactic Republic manufacturing group three.
• Cargo Capacity: NA
  • NA.

Strengths:
1. A lot of weapons.
2. Small turning radius.
3. Wide view from cockpit/advanced weapons targeting and electronic sensors.

Weaknesses
1. Adequate armor. Insufficient for taking sustained fire.
2. Low speed, weak against ship fire.
3. Primarily only a starfighter. Cannot enter atmosphere.

Historical Information
This star fighter was created to be the backbone of the galactic republics star fighter corp by admiral Cutchov who drew it on a napkin while drunk. The Admiral proposed the star fighter to evade a hefty sum for him being intoxicated while on duty. While it has seen no formal testing against enemies in simulated battles against itself dogfights ended with both dying or one coming out severely wounded. Informal testing is approved though.
These ships are the new fashion to the GRE due to the old Star fighters severely needing to be replaced.

Now thats some interesting fighter! Coming in with style!

Comments regarding above sub:

1. Not a real comment but more like a suggestion to make this sexier.
Strengths:
A. "Alot of weapons". NICE. And you got the goodies listed! Hell yeah!
B. Small turning radius. That means the maneuverability is HIGH! NICE! Some interceptor concept right here!
C. Wide view from the cockpit.... Am i right to believe that this can hint to a weakness "no advanced electronics"? The ships is based on manual systems, thus making targeting harder and reducing their accuracy.

Weaknesses:
A. Adequate Armour. Which means..? xD Requires more clarification how thats a bad thing.
B. Low speed harder to evade missiles. I would stretch it to "generally" it is hard to conduct evasive maneuvers. So, from beams to missiles and from turbolaser barrages to ramming, its gonna be an issue.
C. Also, you need as many strengths as weaknesses. So gonna need one more weakness

Historical Info:
Once again, here too, how did the need arise for this design? Was it an original idea? Was it a blending of existing designs like imp and rep fighters? Or was it a development to a previous fighter?
If no active testing has gone down, how common are these fighters to the GRE? are they the new fashion or are they still contained due to the fact nobody knows if they are actually pulling their weight?

oh great more napkins! xD

The Admiral proposed the star fighter to evade a hefty sum for him being intoxicated while on duty

Hey! More napkins I do start feeling there is a pattern here.

How exactly did the admiral achieve getting this project approved to be funded and manufactured by the HGRE if he conceived it like that???

Armaments: 8X wing mounted Paris laser cannons. 2X forward hull mounted Paris laser cannons.

Paris cannon???? Are we talking about THE paris gun!?

sith infiltrator ship and an X-wing

Neither of those two ships appear for 3.5k years from our setting. So they cannot be used as comparison, or even citation given they are not compatible with the lore of the site.

• Durability: average.
• Speed: average.
• Defensive Capabilities: average.
  • Gear: Durasteel hull, sensor jammer, and deflector shield generator.
• Offensive Capabilities: very high.
  • Armaments: 8X wing mounted Paris laser cannons. 2X forward hull mounted Paris laser cannons.
• Scarcity: Common.
  • Manufacturer: Galactic Republic manufacturing group three.
• Cargo Capacity: NA
  • NA.

I count 15 out of 12 attribute points? Please check and correct if applicable.

Strengths:
1. A lot of weapons.
2. Small turning radius.
3. Wide view from cockpit/advanced weapons targeting and electronic sensors.

Weaknesses
1. Adequate armor. Insufficient for taking sustained fire.
2. Low speed, weak against ship fire.
3. Primarily only a starfighter. Cannot enter atmosphere.

Ok so on S/W, i would like some clarifications.
On Str 3: How is the wide view benefiting the pilot? Given it has advanced weapons etc, which them too may require some specifically assigned boon? Are they able to track fast moving masses? Trace? Tracking?

On weaknesses:
1. It feels as if it has armour but not to take on a big punch, which in and of itself is a neutral trait granted by the attributes? How is that a weakness?
2. Doesnt it have Average speed, though? How is its speed lower than its stat and counts as weakness?
3. I would like some form of mention in technical info regarding the way this starfighter cannot enter atmosphere? Because by my count, there are not any implied limitations.

Manufacturer: Galactic Republic manufacturing group three.

The Faction is the Galactic Republic Empire, I believe. Galactic Republic is a different state, based on Coruscant. I would like to have that specified to avoid confusion which i feel will arise due to the similarity.
