Other Ships of the Flotilla
The Flotilla is a regional patrol group and so won't be assembled to fight any fleet battles anytime soon. Mostly I anticipate using the other ships of the Flotilla to counter Pirate etc raids on TF lanes. Naturally if there was an out of context problem which demanded a bigger fleet, ships would be drawn from across regional forces and an appropriate leader selected.
2 Munifex-class Cruisers
If design approved
1 Lupus-class Missile Frigate
2 Auxillia-class Pursuit Ships
Lucrehulk Caveats
The Lucrehulk should only be used defensively or in exceptional circumstances (when ordered to do something by the Trade Federation board or exceptional local circumstances occur - an attack nearby for example) it is largely stationary at the Nessem Shipyards, or patrolling the area around them. It's also considerably "geared down" in terms of it's compliment but does have a lot of fighters, even if they are all very basic pre-vulture droids or even more crude Interceptors manned by Droids.
The main ship I will be operating from is the Captor-class "Hidden Income", with maybe half a dozen smaller escort ships from the Flotilla. Duties confined to patrol and are unlikely to be used aggressively.
Naturally I'll be using these forces in a pretty restrained way.

| Okay, so let's see-
Questionable Ethics - Approve
Compliment-
- 9,000x OOM Battle Droids - Approve
- 1,000x HKB-3 hunter-killer droid - Approve
- 50x Droideka - Approve
- 10x C-9979 landing craft - Pending; according to the Darth Plagueis novel (I believe), the Trade Federation didn't have actual landing craft and were instead using modified commercial barges; the ships which the C-9979 landing craft were built on. Are you willing to accept different statistics, etc. for these ships?
- 240x Scarab Droid Fighters - Approve
- 240x A-6 Interceptors with OOM Pilot Droids - Approve
As a minor caveat, I will note that stand-alone droids are not quite prevalent as of yet, as noted even in the Outbound Flight novel. As such, all droids here would have to, more or less, 'take commands from the tower' with the tower being the Lucrehulk. Of course, this renders chances for jamming the droids' signal, control, etc.
Hidden Income - Approve, with weapons, shields and stats of such.
Compliment -
- 36x A-6 Interceptor - Approve
- 2x C-9979 landing craft pending, with the same issue as above
Passengers-
- 1,000x OOM Battle Droids - Approve
- 50x E4 Baron Battle Droids - Deny; a bit before their time, I'm afraid
- 100x troops - Approve
- 100x HKB-3 hunter-killer droid - Approve
- 10x Droideka - Approve
The above is with the same caveat as the droids on the Lucrehulk.

| I'm perfectly fine with the request, within limits. No reason to scrap it if it's what you want, and I'm always willing to listen to an alternate side of things.
Minus the droids that don't exist just yet, the precursors to the C-9979 can still be utilized to land troops (as they are capable of such), simply carrying smaller loads due to less optimized space and slower offload times of troops and all.
Perhaps you can clarify whether or not the OOM droids need a control ship? I could be wrong.

| Is this a thing? You've been very patient on it but I'm not clear from your recent remarks whether you want to pursue this now or not. Let me know.

| I'll keep it, but drop the Captor-class as I dont think it had been converted into a warship by this point.

| Mike has raised a point about the C-9979's at least a couple of times but I haven't seen that it's been addressed yet. Also, the Scarab fighters don't exist at this time. I know you hate this, but as far as droid starfighters go I think your only option is the Light Droid Starfighter (in the image it's the topmost of the three rows). In keeping with the theme, might I suggest the name "Buzzard-class"? (Since "Droid Starfighter (Light)" sounds like a watery, low carb alternative to the Vulture-class—which, to be fair, is pretty much what it is, but we needn't say so). As far as the stats go, I'm pretty sure it's just a rudimentary droid starfighter with a single laser cannon.

| Maybe just have Mankvims or A6 Interceptors flown by droids. In Cloak of Deception they are amazed by droid fighters that don't have their own droid pilot, so the norm before is just droid pilots in normal (presumably cheap) fighters.
