A rare Command version of disagreeable shipline, the Far Thunder was a beloved KDY Republic by captain Hannser, despite the criticism the shipline would endure due to its fragile hulls for a cruiser of such size. The ship featured enhanced firing controls and communications equipment, allowing it serve as a Fleet Commander and have the special ability of Assault.
Due to the admiration of Hannser and the dedication of his crew, the Far Thunder was able to redirect power supplies to enable Power to Shields allowing it to live on just a little bit longer.
Fleet Commander
deploy fighters
Power to Shields
Republic Class Cruisers were a rushed, flawed design. They suffered from weak shields and inadequate armor. While cheaper to produce and armed with an incredible amount of firepower, too many Republics were rushed into battle before the New Republic could fully realize how dangerous the ships were to their crews.
The Far Thunder underwent modifications to remove the 6 bow beam lasers in order to have faster fire rate dual heavy turbolasers.
(updated with better paint scheme)
Werent they rushed at the beginning of the war? And wait, are Republic and Proficient cruisers the same? (Dumb brain cant think the stuff.)
Beginning of war was a bidding war where different manufactures were trying to win the deal to create ships for the modernization program. Kuat presented a cheap flashy looking ship with loads of weapons and rushed hundreds into production before proper evaluation. During the midst of the war, the ships flaws became more and more apparent, but there were so many Republics and not enough time to make other ships that they just had to be used.
Proficient was a different ship:

A cheap and flashy looking ship? GENIUS! Lets just ram the pointy end of the ship into the enemies and use it as a boarding charge in which we steal the enemies much more expensive and better ships. Just load the ships crew with at least 10% people who know how to steer the thing and the other 90% to actually charge into the enemy ship upon explosive breach contact.
Burnstrobe please make a ship that does this! XD
So the Republic was like a ****** cousin to the M4 Sherman...? Lol :P
Actually the Sherman was a highly advanced and capable design when it got ushered onto the battlefield the only thing it had troubles with were tigers which was a heavy tank... ALthough the sherman did have nearly the same frontal hull armor thickness thanks to its sloped armor. The later 76mm HV shermans also butt ****** tigers hard due to their upgraded gun. What you're really thinking of is the T-34 mate now there was a mass produced shitbox.
when i looked at this, i just happened to notice that there is a black patch of damage underneath one of the front left turrets. not sure if intended or not. however, this is one incredible looking ship. keep up the good work!
Whoops, forgot to deactivate a layer to hide the damage.
This ship was a little harder than it appears to colonize. Since Republics were so mass produced and were relatively new ships, they sort of need to look a bit generic. This is the only KDY Republic command variant in the game, so I thought it would look strange if this ship has giant patches of color, and so many other similar ships didn't.
Just another 1 of many hero vessels scattered about the Galaxy, we are trying to have a hero vessel for every ship mentioned in the war
I'm assuming all these hero units will only have a one time build limit and they won't re-spawn correct?
correct, only major heroes will respawn, minor heroes die and do not come back
