Summary
Note here if any serious issues are present. These are the issues that will hold up approval.
** Short description of the issue. If a longer explanation is needed, put it in Notes.

Status: Pending

Notes
This field is for any extra description needed for the issues stated above or (as the name suggests) and additional notes you wish to state in the record regarding the item.

Overpowered - Damage Capacity and Damage Ratings in compliance with the DR Guidelines
This submission wants to do 4 SDR4, if approved it would set a precedent for bigger and even more unrealistic damage.

Reasonably scientifically plausible
The use of Nuclear Pulse Propulsion for a missile is not feasible, nor practical. Plus there is no way to 'steer' the missile with this kind of propulsion. Further setting off an Anti-Matter explosion to push the missile, is probably going to destroy it, and even if it did not, that kind of an energy pulse is going to set off a ship's warning with plenty of time to blow it out of the sky.


Lacking Detail
The Two antimatter catalyzed thermonuclear pulse detonation drives is just a single line with no explanation of how it works.

No details provided as to what the MIRV propulsion system is.

No power system is listed,

Has a Distortion shield projection system., but do not provide information as to what protection it offers.

space time ghosts? So you are trying to have this create a strong enough gravity to warp space time
I intend to finish this review by: (WRITE IN DATE)
 
Oh, and I'm pretty sure that "Shipwreck" is the name of a Soviet/Russian anti-ship missile.


So, in a way, this is getting into copyright infringement on the Russian Navy.

There is no copyright claim actually, since 'Shipwreck' is also the generic term for a ship that is wrecked.
 
'Shipwreck' is the generic easily remembered name NATO intelligence selected for the Soviet P-700 Granit anti-ship cruise missile, so in no way is this an infringement on the former Soviet Navy. Please go troll somewhere else Fiver.

In other news, stats adjusted, added requested items and numbers.
 
Please make one last addition as indicated, you did not put the class of the SP, and that is too much SP for a missile. 20 is star fighter sized
should probably more like 10 and the physical should be .8 of the class in the case you have 16 not 20.

■ Distortion shield projection system. (SP 20(4)) (Armor)
■ Lightweight Durandium Alloy shell. (SP 20) (Armor)
 
I thought speeds top off at around .375 in the setting or are you using the modifier for the armor material?
