Border Assault Avenger

May 26, 2014 greenwall link
The Itani nation has contracted Axia to manufacture a wraith to serve as a response to the Skyprom, which has long been in a class of its own. With recent upgrades to the Serco Vulture Guardian throwing more favor to the serco, the Itani military research wing hurried to come up with a countermeasure to ensure the safety of the Itani Nation.

Lighter, more armor and significantly less drain than the scp? 8 m shorter even?

Carry on. This should get mildly amusing.

This seems quite overpowered. According to VO wiki, you have based this model on the Prom Mk3 (Light), given it SkyProm armor +500, more spin torque, less length, less turbo energy and -10 turbo speed. But I predict, given the awful (in comparison to SkyProm) turbo thrust, this is an easy catch for a light fighter, or a hound.

I do think the Mass should be raised to 10,000kg and the spin dropped to 10.0 Nm. It's not a prom, it's a copy, therefore it should be worse, but not by much. Plus the visual engines on a wraith aren't all that spectacular, so it would be hard to justify this thing turning faster than the best prom. Given less length, there should be a drop in spin torque, not an increase.

significantly less drain than the scp?

Less drain, but also less top turbo speed. i.e. balance.

And Kierky, it isn't overpowered. It's simply a good match for the Prom. I disagree that it should be worse - why would anyone bother introducing a heavy assault ship for Itani unless it could stand up to the Prom in some way? I nerfed some things, and kept some things the same and some things slightly better. The Skyprom still would have the advantage in: cargo, turbo thrust, turbo speed.

Mass changed to 10,000kg.

-1 fer da name

give it the stats of a wraith that's all Axia can build :p

Edit: i must admit that's a nice try to get back to the thirteen golden bars situation : ]
