Article (none)/ Gameplay:
The Kuat Drive Yards' SFDP, was given a secret assignment for a new space defense platform, directly after an insurgent attack on a TIE fighter factory above Nar Shadaa. The goal was to build a fighter factory with better combat preparedness. Then with swift reforms to the Imperial order of battle, the goal was changed; to make a defensive carrier station. The project was looked over personally by Grand Admiral Thrawn, thus, a prototype was readied very quickly and efficiently, and the craft was brought into service likewise. Once tested in actual combat it was found that the carrier was only a defensive weapon. It had given up much ground in many capacities so as to maximize it's potency as a carrier. In this sense, it cannot defend itself, except against fighters and bombers. It has powerful shields, but these can only hold unassisted for so long. It's combined firepower can barely surpass that of a Corellian blockade runner, and lastly, it's armor, is shockingly weak. However, when paired with the firepower of Imperial Star Destroyers and Golan battleguns, it's strength as a carrier, the sheer number of starfighter output it can deploy on the field, will drive any enemy to shame.
nice
So, what will this special platform act as? I've always wanted a defense platform more potent than the laser defense satellites and I've always wanted extra fighters to help push back enemy ships.
Basically, it will function as a buildable space special structure (built through the same method as the long-range sensor array, etc). In combat, the platform will spawn large amounts of fighters and bombers to aid defense of the planet during an attack.
awesome idea.
It's practically a realized idea now.
