Generator: 2E24 watts
Shields: 4E23 watts
Troop capacity: 300,000 Stormtroopers

Information: A prototype design, never made it into production. Pre-fab bases aboard ISDs sufficed, and PDY was low on funds. KDY turned the design down, because the pentagon-shaped design didn't fit the KDY's usual wedge-shaped ship designs.
If put into action, the ship would perform an orbital ardment destroying any military centers, and if necessary, perform a BDZ operation. Then, after the ardment, would enter the atmosphere, using repulors to coushin it's landing, and using to create a level landing space. Then, it would deploy troops to take over government centers, if they weren't destroyed in the ardment. The main purpose of the tractor beams and gravity well was to prevent ships form leaving the planet. If necessary, more of these ships, as well as some Acclamators, would be called in to bring more troops.[/i]
The problem with the pentagon shape is that you can't blast the enemy with all your HTLs, unless the enemy attacked from the top or bottom. Of course since this is for planetary bombardment, not fleet engagement this would be fine. It seems more speciallized for planetary takeover.
Yeah I was thinking something more like a command ship for my ship instead of flagship. Oh and my flagship would need a lot of avionics, and computers and all that good stuff.
Updated stats are:
Rapier class Flagship
400 meters
Armanent - 20 LTLs on turrets, 2 fixed forward HTLs.
Shielding- SSD level
Power- SSD level- achieved by stripping out a lot of stuff inside ship
Crew-200 Stormies, or internal defense turrets., 100 engineers, 100 droids, 200 officers.
Manueverability- more realistic compared to the ridiculous turn rate of the scythe- 90 degrees a second.
Hyperdrive- Equal to an SSD
STL- 80% millenium falcon's speed.
Armor and Framework- SW equivelents of aluminum and stainless steel, since the heavy neutronium might account for an ISD's horrible maneuverability. The space saved by using thin (aka nonexistant) armor will be used for reactors used to power shielding. Of course if the shields go down (Ion Cannon) then this paper ship is toast. I guess I'm a suicidal maniac (I'm really on prozac).
Avionics- Several supercomputers for processing fleet commands- fleet movement commands will be issued using a RTS game interface
, similar to homeworld (can't think of any other space RTS). The officers are there to issue these commands. Conventional commands can also be issued, for power regulation and the like.
Special- Can take over the helm of any other ship to assume command, has to be enabled by the ship being taken over.
The other extreme may be reached and the ship could have lots of armor but no shielding.
