Begun, a new conflict has.
Happy New Years Modders!
Continuing our rundown of Rebel capitalships, the Dauntless Heavy Cruiser is one of their few large warships not produced by the Mon Calamari. Instead it is a heavily modified Star Cruiser produced by the SoroSuub Corporation of Sullust, one of the first worlds to be liberated by the Rebel Alliance immediately after Endor. While mostly well known for its smaller craft, the Dauntless proves that SoroSuub can make a excellent heavy warship as well. Armed with virtually every weapon used by the Alliance, including large antiship Proton Torpedoes and heavy turbolasers, the Dauntless is particularly known for its advanced electronic warfare and sensor systems, which are the inspiration for most of its abilities.
The Dauntless' fundamental ability is simply scanning enemy ships and planets for weaknesses. This will slightly weaken their defenses, but more important it will power up all of the Dauntless' other abilities to be more powerful. They include blasting a planet with its ion cannons, increasing the damage the planet takes from bombardment as well as temporarily disabling any planetary weapons the planet has, a powerful Turbolaser barrage that will weaken an enemy's weapons and shield regeneration if it does hull damage, and a special countermeasure system that will raise the defenses of nearby allies if a marked enemy ship tries to use a special ability.
The Dauntless' sensors also make it ideal for coordinating planet bombing operations, as such it is technically categorized as a siege capitalship and has much higher bombing damage that other Rebel capitalships.
nice keep up the good work
That is a beautiful ship.
