 Posted: Sat Feb 13, 2021 12:39 pm Post subject: High Republic Longbeam Multi-Purpose Starfighter |
 |
|
Starship from The High Republic.
| Quote: | REPUBLIC LONGBEAM
A type of starship utilized by the Galactic Republic, a brand-new design at the time of the Great Disaster during the High Republic Era. They were multi-purpose craft that could be used for combat, search and rescue, transport, or other purposes. Longbeams were constructed at the Republic shipyards on Hosnian Prime. Their shape reminded Nautolan Captain Finial Bright of the hammerfish of Glee Anselm: a blunt "skull" tapering into a sinuous shape reminiscent of a tailfin. Longbeam armaments includes six missile launchers, two double blaster cannons, and missile defense countermeasures. The longbeam also includes four magclamps and winches. Many of the ships, including Bright's Aurora IX, were used during the Republic and Jedi effort to save the Hetzal system during the Great Disaster.

Editorial note:
"Longbeam armaments included a total of six missiles." should likely be "Longbeam armaments included six missile launchers."

I think he made a remark that you got it right.
Seems a scource gave the vessel 6 missiles, and nexx then made an edit at they probaly meant 6 missile launchers. |

| The High Repbulic: Light of the Jedi wrote: | “Fire six missiles,” Bright ordered.
"We can’t get there in time to evacuate before it gets hit, but our missiles can. If we have a one-in-three chance at shooting the object down, then sending six doubles our chances. Still not perfect odds, but—”
"If we fire six missiles..."
The missiles fired, six quick whmphs transmitted through the ship’s hull...
Maybe all six would hit. It wasn’t impossible.
..display screen tracking the six missiles.. |
So yeah, six missile launchers

Yes, but that is not what it says in the introductory paragraph you posted.

I was suggesting you correct that.

I'm sooooo glad to see someone who is almost as much of a nitpicker as I am while editing. 
MrNexx, I salute you, sir. 
Now that people know my pain, the healing can begin.

Wow, that ship is really weird looking. The main body looks way too long for the overall design
Are the Megaclamps and Winches the era replacement for a tractor beam? |

| The Wook has identified this ship as a cruiser. Wouldn't that necessitate a change in the stats? |

FYI, "Cruiser", "Frigate" & "Corvette" are among the most abused & tossed around terms in Star Wars and "Wookiepedia said this" is not gospel.
In the WEG material and various EU/Legends material there's plenty of small transports that were 'cruisers' or 'corvettes' or 'light corvettes' in name, but they were still starfighter-scale ships.
Furthermore, there are even Speeder & Walker -scale 'ground cruisers'.
Context is King. |

I write it off to marketing. "Over the last three years, the market has seen sales increase on 'cruisers'... Let's call this a cruiser."
