It's really not overpowered, unless you attempt to assault it from the front with starfighters, bombers and transports.

Yes but you'd have to be an idiot to do that...obviously the tactical AI aren't bright enough but it's slow enough that it can't chase fighters down anyway.

True, but all it has to do is turn and it provides a nearly lancer level of defense.
I mean I could see it having SOME quads, but if it has anywhere near as many as mentioned on wookiepedia.....
What is the specefic loadout going to be, btw ?

It's a good second line ship, as it is meant to be. It provides decent cover fire for the rear of a moving fleet and good screening capabilities when defending fixed or very slow moving assets. Nothing more, it can't stand up for long in a turbolaser fight; really, it's virtually a copy/paste from the EU canon to the game.
If it's hard then it's worth doing.

30 turreted medium rapid quadruple laser cannons for the basic version. However the changes we've made to space combat means that this doesn't instantly vape fighters as you might expect.

I think my next question is rather obvious: Changes, tell me all you can.

Yeah well as much as I'd like to, that's something that should really be a news post. Plus I don't know all the details, I haven't touched the ship XML.

That would be a blessing in disguise!! Let the small, backwater, primitives play amongst themselves. IF we're lucky the ISB won't take notice of so dismal an assignment; pray... quietly.

This could be a decent ship for the CSA too, maybe in the "armed freighter" version?

I think it could be the CSA's cheaper version of the Nebulon B, an armed freighter that can double as a rearline combat vessel, or in convoy pretty much deal with anything smaller than it.

i know i'm late to the party, but (and this is going by 1.2 rules) if you wanted to nerf the NS in a manner befitting to the ship, you could have it so that its REALLY slow and not maneuverable. like, VSD 1 slow and Executor-maneuverable.
and, not to nitpick, but if you recall, I originally posted the idea to advocate for a Very Large Freighter. that is to say a way to have some freight income while also having ships that are useful in a fleet action, as even the MCF-8's are somewhat useless against anything Corvette sized and up, as well as something granting greater income than an MCF/CTF can generate.
id still like to advocate the idea anyway

Since the cat is out of the bag anyway, maybe we can get a screen shot or two to admire/discuss, to prompt some conversation?

I can't give you guys a screen but I can tell you I'm pretty sure it's going to stay a combat ship.; the available material does state that the freighter refit was a failure and there are other ships that can fill the bill. Personally I'd want the Star Galleon.
Oh! BTW. Don't stay too attached to 1.2's space dynamics.

the Star Galleon is a wonderful ship, but unfortunately it's an Empire-only ship, going by canon. there are no recorded uses of the ship by the Alliance/New Republic. if anything, there are only a few instances of independent owners and 1 pirate owning one. so i think a counter is needed for the Alliance/New Republic. if you can think of one, im all ears
