Arquitens-Class Light Cruiser

[Dromdarr_Alark]

Hey all.

I want to find stats for the Arquitens Cruiser. Here is the Wookieepedia on it:http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Arquitens-class_light_cruiser#cite_note-Grievous_Intrigue-1

I think it is a beautiful ship, but I would change a few things about it - namely, the number of turbolaser batteries. The article says 4, but the picture looks like 6. I would even say it has two turbolaser batteries and 4 double-turbolasers, according to this: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/pedrocon/SW-CloneWars/Arquitens/arquitens.jpg

I think the space rating should be 6 or 7 with a maneuverability of 2D+1, since it is supposedly faster and more nimble than the Venator.

I would size it about 450 m according to this picture: http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/12/11094/EAW_20110710_00444548.jpg

It seems about half the size of the Venator.

Are there any suggestions?

While I like the ship as well, I think you oversized this one. From the SWTCW shots I have seen it should be around 120N-130M max, as it is near the same size as a Consular class, right down to the drive configuration.
Like the Consular class it was I minimal crew capital ship. intended to be support or boarding quick strike capable. The skeleton crew left on during one episode was 3 clones.

Yes is similar/insame range as as a Consoler but it is a bit bigger, this is a combo of mine and Ole' Gry Sarths work.

If the smaller numbers are accurate, calling this ship a cruiser is a mistake. It's more analogous to a corvette.
