| In the meantime let me say what a lovely craft that SCT Scout Ship is. A fine choice.

| Drop the length on the Aegis to 600m too
And I'd like each SCT-1 to carry 6 R-22 Spearheads in racks on the SCT-1's flat topside. This would allow them to be used to scout systems more efficiently and increase the chances of the SCT-1 being able to survive combat intact. As the Interceptors have no hyperdrive they'd be reliant upon the SCT-1 to taxi them via hyperdrive.

| I like the SCT vessels. More often than not, they seem to be underused.
However, I'm not comfortable at all with the R-22s. Anything reminiscent of the A-wing in this time period seems a bit extensive. I'm just not convinced they exist yet.
I'll let Jace weigh in on the custom design before I say anything.

| Just to clarify on the inauspicious-class.
It's to be a guided missile, for which there are precedents back thousands of years.
It's to go at 30-45 MGLT for up to 70 AU. It's a long way across a solar system, but it's a primitive low emission Ion Drive. On a 10m cylinder 3m in diameter, it's trivial to have a drive which can go that far. You see once it reaches initial momentum it uses no more fuel unless it has to alter course. That is to say - most of the trip "costs nothing" and engines wouldnt need to be turned on.
Centuries ago ships were able to travel between planets (probably similar distances) in some days, the intention with this weapon being deployed 70 AU away it would move at perhaps 10 AU day if it had a good gravity rich target to fall toward.
Chaff and flares are technologies existing in the 20th century and before in the real world. They're also present in star wars.
A small self powered autoturret isn't a great expense in room or power. Autoturrets have existed since the Jedi Civil War at least (4000 years)
Electronic countermeasures of one sort or another are on many simple basic craft (including the TIE Fighter). They're hardly an amazing or effective defensive system. The only thing they might do here is fool some longer range sensors for a while.
250km radius? Well. This bad boy has been heading toward you for several days, he's a weapon intended to be dropped on planets to knock out their power grids. There's no way decent military sensors wouldn't pick this up within an AU of their ships, and as soon as it came within several thousand kilometers it could be eliminated with a couple of turbolaser blasts.
Yes, if a fleet did sit idle and it went off in the middle of it, youd have a crippled fleet, is that practical or possible? Not really.
Ergo, not a super weapon, just a weapon intended to be Space-Surface EMP. EMP is hardly high tech or hard to generate in the era. The only way this could damage military assets off a planet is negligence in not shooting it down when it was several times away from its maximum blast range.
I.e. It's really easy to counter with the most simple means and the most simple defenses.

Gentlemen,
Of my requests this is the only one that I'm actually waiting on to RP with. Could we get some movement?
If the issue is on the custom Frigates, I'm willing to shelve them and replace them with a request of:
3x Xenvaer-class Carriers - (Same stats as Imperial Escort Carrier, with say another 10 Turbolasers, 10 Ion Cannons and length 600m, obviously other fighters not TIEs)
12 Axis-class Missile Corvetes - Stats wise a 120m long SCT-1 Scout Craft with (2 All-Purpose Mass Drive Cannons added each carrying five Rounds), named for and based on the design of the old Axis-class Sublight Missile Corvettes, but minus the sublight bit.
Picture of Xenvaer and Axis-class
4 Atgeir-class Battlecruisers (Ruusan Compliant Mothballs)
Stripped down, with hyperdrive, most of their generators etc removed. Weapons downgraded to 12 Turbolasers and 30 Quadlasers.
Otherwise Statistically identical to a Invincible class , one a museum, the others properly mothballed requiring at least a months work to refit for proper use. If it ever comes to arming these armament for war I'll request it again. Minimal skeleton crew and some droids on all ships of around a thousand each just doing maintenance for the most part, effectively all but the museum ship are in mothball.
The Museum ship has a speed of 10 MGLT and makes heritage cruises of the Alsakan System, the other Mothballed three only have 3 MGLT worth of their engines working to allow them to avoid incoming asteroids, adjust orbit or make a stately flypast on especially glorious moments of Alsakan pride, a Battlecruiser Flypast is considered the ultimate honour in the Alsakan Military and State. The other three are constantly on station by the main Alsakan Naval Docks by the North Pole.

| This was the first request of many that I want to hit tonight, but I have to ask that it be converted into type-written form that I can more easily read and edit because to do so myself is going to take additional time away from the other requests I'm hoping to get to tonight. Or don't bother and I'll do it myself as soon as I can. But just speaking from recent experience, I don't seem to be doing requests that quickly so I think it'd be faster if you re-post the request in a more easily-reviewable form. I have a grasp of the information here but just logistically I'd prefer to be able to review and modify it without taking time away from other requests, as neat as these image-based designs admittedly are.

| I once pickled the hearts of a group of students from Alsakan, and served it as a dish to my Lord Emperor.
I did this because I detest core liberals, especially when they have no visas but carry musical instruments.

| Right off the bat, I'll approve of-
12x SCT ships
48x R-22 Spearheads - I dropped two from each vessels because: 1) "These defensive armaments were often enough to deter starfighters until the vessel could escape to hyperspace, although they clearly revealed that the vessel was not intended to be at the center of a battle." in regards to the scout ship itself and 2) I'd prefer to see these used as they were intended; scouting vessels and not miniature pocket carriers.
In regards to the other vessels, I will approve of:
3x Atgeir-class battlecruisers (two mothballed, one a museum ship)
2x Xenvaer-class carriers (I assume these are similar to the escort carrier and not the 'imperial escort carrier' that the storm commandos use) As well, I will grant five turbolasers and five ion cannons on top of an already decent armament of ten (10) twin point defense laser cannons and a 25-load concussion missile launcher. Added to that, the ability to carry 72 fighters and 6 shuttles per ship, you have a rather decent force projection here.
6x Axis-class missile corvettes (are you asking for their cannon to be the combo mass cannon-ion cannon deal? Also, are these rounds capable of ignoring shields?)

| If you note. The Axis Missile Corvette is a stubby solid missile corvette. It has mass drivers which can fire one shell a post anything from flak shell to a proton one. It's thus what the canonical weapon is. It's not the magical mass driver of Empire at War, it's the rather pedestrian gun we see being fired aboard the Invisible Hand when it's exchanging broadsides with a Venator - no magic tech present.
The Xenvaer-class is a bog standard Escort Carrier/Light warship hybrid. As you can see it has a distinct Kuati-Dagger shape which is where I would like to mount the 10 Turbolaser Turrets and 10 Ion Cannon Turrets, and why I put the daggering onto the escort carrier, to give it a credible role in the line if need be, as well as just acting as a carrier, while being weaker than real warships (they're still outgunned by most combat frigates but can at least fend off any single corvette - my intention). If you compare it to similar sized ships it is still distinctly outgunned. The pictures should help. I'd like to ask a reconsideration on the extra 5 of Turbolaser Turrets and Ion Cannon Turrets just since the difference is relatively minor in real terms and allows consistency with the hull I designed.
