- Requires Prose: Looks like I did miss the prose in a few sections and that has been added in. It also looks like the wrong sections were marked for needing prose, and other sections were overlooked and not marked when they should have been. I'm going by the Starship Template
https://wiki.stararmy.com/doku.php?id=templates:starship for this so the ship should be good to go here now.
- General topic sentence: Any bigger and its basically the about section. A one to two sentence short description is exactly what is called for in the template.
- Needed or Useful: USO doesn't have a lot of large ship designs. I think just the norse carriers and a few large freighters that were purchased. Since we can't just use small ships for everything we do need to put together a large ship design at some point. Since only Tier 15 ships can carry Tier 15 shields its kinda manditory.
- Overpowered: I mean, we're not calculating mass here. NTSE before has made the case explicitly that mass doesn't matter in regards to the C5, but mass does somehow matter here? It feels like you're just making stuff up to support how you feel without any basis for saying it. Either way, a quick size check and you can see that just about any way you cut it the C9 outmasses T14 ships.
And why are we getting bent out of shape by being able to operate after being cut in half? Even Wes has said that this isn't something that should hold up approval.
Are there too many weapons on here? Show me some math, or give me a comparison to another ship, or provide some metric for what too many weapons is. Honestly, I didn't even do math for this one I just fit the weapons where I could and put in what looked good. I would be surprised if this ship ends up having any more firepower than a Sharie or a Primus though after including their fighter wings and them being a tier smaller.
- Stuff Submitted Seperately: The NTSE is moving at a glacial pace, and the C8 and C9 are in RP supposed to have been designed within a few weeks of eachother. I'm perfectly OK with getting this reviewed now and waiting on the C8 approval before final approval.
Also, looks like the gravity cannon is approved.
- Standard Nomenclature: Most everything is repackaged versions of other things. Rather than a gun, engine, power plant, etc, the components are like small buildings that use a lot of other parts so they wouldn't have their own part number.
Electronics Box: This isn't even up for approval?
Box Mine: Also not up for approval? This was approved a while ago.
Launch Shell: >.> I guess... I'll say they open within 1.2 seconds.
