The best thing about the Neutron Star is it's cheap. It's fantastic if you are short of cash. They might be slow and a bit obsolete, but great against pirate fleets.   Mark II adds hangars, Mark III adds trubolasers, and the later variants... kepp getting better, (quads go to sextuple lasers)

 

It's a great second line cruiser. Against anything imperial and modern - they die. They do have 1 weakness - short range fire. They are vulnerable to anything with a decent range, such as Carrack-Class. 

 

Overall, great ship - really useful. It may not be the best militarily, but economically, it's a winner.

Better very late than never.  Like letter from 1916 arriving at destination in 2016. LOL

 

Seriously tho, cool. I like the sound of that.

Haha yeah I forgot to mention (a long time ago) that I modeled the Neutron Star and it's in the development version of the mod right now.

 

Also I'm working on the mod again, so hi.

Whoa, nice. Finally forum loaded properly for me. Usually I get quarter of threads and/or 1/18th of recent post. Defo PR need forum some place different than Revora mess.

 

Yes what PR in general needs badly are ships, ships and even more ships. Played Supremacy religiously (despite shafted interface I always loved the general idea) and even that Bulk (Neutron) Cruiser was pieces of crap against even few fighters it was always one of my favourite models/ships. Hmm.. OK found CD... will install Sup[Reb] momentarily he, he... Would love to see super sexy Liberator for Rebellion too. Droooooling since release of v 1.2 in anticipation of 1.3. Had to switch to different mods to get my SW space combat fix as 1.2 at some stage just cease to function in one or more ways (well documented).

I think there's an evillejedi Star Galleon model about somewhere. As with most things you guys suggest, it's on our Wanted list.

I just figured the XWAUP would have a good quality model to convert from.

That doesn't mean that the NR had any SG's, just that Han knew of their defensives

The SG is refrenced on occasion in the books.

While onboard the Katana, Solo wishes the Katana fleet had been SGs for their intruder control systems for example (and someone with him, I forget who, points out if the Katana fleet had been SGs Thrawn would have just destroyed them).

As for SGs, I'd see giving them a mix of weaker weapons, but a very strong hull.

Basically, I'd like to see PR get a host of such ships with weaker armament but some with strong hulls.
They'd be perfect for a defense fleet, they sit there and raise the planets income and can offer light resistance, or just be a damage soak in defensive actions.
