| After some thought, I realized I should request my capital ship rather than just throw it out there. With that, I refer to my profile for the ship on the background. In short, it's a Dreadnaught-class Heavy Cruiser, standard issue in every way, except for the addition of the warhead launcher that is common modification, and the establishment of a certain number on the ion cannons (10). After observing the hangar of the Dreadnaught, shown in Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, I came up with a general make up of it's complement, which is: 12 CloakShape Fighters, a Kappa-class Shuttle (carrying two All Terrain Personal Transports), and a Theta-class T-2c Shuttle, with room for 4 more fighters and 2 more shuttle/freighter vessels, for guests or apprehended craft.
In quick summary:
Dreadnaught-class Heavy Cruiser
The clarification of 10 Ion Cannons
The addition of the common Warhead Launcher modification
12 CloakShape Fighters
Kappa-class Shuttle (carrying two All Terrain Personal Transports)
Theta-class T-2c Shuttle
Room for 4 more fighters and 2 more shuttle/freighter vessels, for guests or apprehended craft

| This is a very heavy vessel; likely the heaviest in the roleplay at this time and I'd not like to see everyone utilizing heavy forces. Nonetheless, I do understand the necessity for the Republic to have one heavy ship in the roleplay. I'd like to hear from Jace and Jaron on this one before I cast my stone.

The only change I've made here is to remove the warhead launcher, which I vote to DENY. It may be a common modification but I think it's important for RP purposes that it have this one invulnerability, especially since this will surely be, as Mike pointed out, the largest and most powerful ship in the RP. I don't think you want it to be so powerful that everyone basically runs away from it wherever it goes.
Addressing Mike's point, I too was reluctant about having a ship of this size in the RP. Jaron, however, made a very thoughtful and persuasive argument for it, which I agreed with (but which I no longer remember, sorry Jaron. Except that you made a good case about the slow speed of this ship being a major disadvantage). You might want to re-state your argument here for the record and for Mike's benefit. But in the meantime, I APPROVE of Aurelius as the Captain of the Centurion w/ the above statistics.

| While it can be intimidating, and I'll agree with Jace on dropping the missile launcher, and I will admit flat-out, this ship is likely to be the heavy hitter of the entire RP, it does have, as Jace said, sufficient drawbacks. It's speed and maneuverability mean that it is unable to chase down most craft; for this, it requires the use of its single squadron of starfighters. Being the only ship in the Republic arsenal to carry fighters at the time, makes it a unique asset, and one that will not be flippantly used. It also carried a massive amount of ground troops, but due to the small hangar, and choice in craft, it can only land a platoon at a time on the surface of a world. While it is capable of carrying three thousand ground troops, it'll likely only carry a company or battalion (if heavy combat is expected) at a time, the remaining room left to passengers and prisoners; the full three thousand would be used in only the utmost serious situations. Does this argument satisfy your concerns, Mike?

| My apologies for missing this one for so long. My concerns are satisfied and with Jace's caveats, I vote this Approved and will close it.
