Here (904 bytes)is the KEY to the numbers on the schematic.
This is my first attempt at a SW ship and I have very little knowledge in their design and engineering.
I based the design off of a Corillian Corvette, CR90. Its a freighter, or at least is supposed to be....

Rather heavily armed for a freighter isn't it? More like an Escort cruiser or possibly Escort Carrier with those fighters.
Posted by Warbadden Hawkins (Member # 905) on :
The ship only has 3 decks, each approximately 6 meters tall. Crew and command areas only need to be about 3 meters tall. So on the same deck there can be two levels, indicated by the blue lines is what part of the deck is only 3 meters tall..
This might be why you think it has so many guns:
Turbolasers 4 Port- 2 Turrets 4 Starboard- 2 Turrets 4 Dorsal- 2 Turrets 4 Ventral- 2 Turrets 4 For- 2 Small Turrets
Posted by Wraith (Member # 779) on :
I call 20 turbolasers, 2 A wings, 2 X wings and a B wing heavily armed for a freighter. Especially when the Corellian Corvette (a warship) has 4 turbolasers (and I think some smaller lasers down the side). It is a promising design though!

Thanx for the input....I'll try to scale it down a bit.
This is my first Wars ship....In MSPaint...LOL

It could be a military freighter, carrying weapons and stuff. That might explain the armament.
Posted by Wraith (Member # 779) on :
Possibly but we're still talking armament on the scale of a Nebulon B class frigate here.

Tell me you didint list "Cmdr. Karnage" in your crew. I'm so hoping you'll change that onr little thing and take the needed step away from G.I. Joe country. Posted by Griffworks (Member # 1014) on :

Uhm...
I really don't mean to bag on you, but why not just have them labeled as six decks, then? It makes no sense where continuity is concerned to show them as three decks with sub-decks in each. It goes more with common sense, IMO, to use modern day decking systems than to make one up. Plus, it, again, goes along with continuity more, at least where the West End Games Star Wars RPG decking system is concerned.

Gotta agree. That's a buttload of turbolasers for a "freighter"! I'd be more inclined to call it a light cruiser or perhaps, as was already suggested, an escort carrier. In contrast, the Correllian Corvette is listed as having six turbolasers and the "Rebel Medical Frigate" is listed as also only having six. The Mon Calamari Cruiser is listed as having 48 turbolasers. You list 20 for your ship. (Source I use is Shane Johnson's "Star Wars Technical Journal")
Also, you realize that an A-Wing isn't anywhere near as long as an X-Wing, right? The A-Wing is only about 3m long, while the X-Wing is about 6m, IIRC.
Again, not meaning to bag on you. Just trying to point out what I consider flaws in your design work.
