Home Made ship Modifiactions

our MOG threw a similar sounding crystal into our game. it ended up being installed in a super laser. its power increased high enough to destroy planets.

[Rathe Ehtar]

It was only a simple energy amplifying crystal. It's being used by a villain, not a pc, and it's one-of-a-kind. The lasers original power was only able to take out capital ships in a single shot, that could only fire every few rounds. Now, the weapon can destroy planest in every other round. No big deal, right?

I remember seeing the Death Star II fire its super laser more than once in the battle of endor. now it may have been on a lower power setting.
Now, the crystal was an ancient secret of a dead race. The crystal was protected in a tomb by three small beams of light. but those beams of light were directed at the crystal, redircted out by focusing crystals to form an impervious force field. So yeah, some crystal.
Now the original weapon was a weaker verson, say a prototype, of the "super laser equiped super star destroyers" whatever they were called, and required a lot of time and a lot of power to work effectivly. So with the crystal in hand, the baddies could use, maybe, a quarter of the power necessary.
I'm still working on the details on how this ship will effect my story in the future.

Yup, you're correct, Rathe. I just looked it up and the superlaser on the second death star was much more advanced than the original one (which I had posted about). The original death star could only fire at maximum power and took 8 hours to fully charge. The second death star could fire it's superlaser at lower damage settings and could recharge in much less time. The damage rating of the superlaser on the second death star is 2D-16D and it can generate 2D of damage per minute, up to the maximum of 16D damage. However, the energy cells in the design can only produce 48D per day without severely straining the energy reactors. (Special Edition Trilogy Sourcebook)

Good idea, BJ, and it can be used to get Mynocks off the hull before re-entry, too!

And Lord Aramus, I am amazed! Simply amazed!!!

[Lord Aramus]

I'll be starting up an outer rim campaign with my local gaming group probably at the end of the summer, so expect to see more by the time I am done.

I'm thinking about turning #2 war pods into asteroid mining vessels.

ok my base ship is a mobquet medium cargo hauler the states are in pirates & privateers on page 67 any ways why i like it as a start it has a 7d hall and you get +5 to all modifications and replacements here is were i start moding 1. give it a 1/2 hyper drive 2. up space to 10 3.add 4 comar f-4 ion cannons does 4d oh ya have them made in to hidin popups so you might still pass at the docking ports 4.add shilds oh i think 5d just to the front for ramming
and if you dont have to dock at any regular port then try some of these other modes
1. a sensor baffling at 2d 2.sensor mask at 2d 3.comm jammers 4. sensor jammers 5.baffeld drive 6. backup batterys i think 4 7. and never leve home with out at least 4 new transponder codes .

oh that bit about bording i would say i will use a plasma punch and vent it to space frist than bord and shot every one with stun 2 befor takying the ship but that is just a thought by for now

This one is a corporate flagship.. out of a heavily modified Nebulon B frigate.
