Hello there,

After Victor sold his last slave haul, and with the recent increase in piracy in the expansion region area, I would like to request an upgrade to the weapon systems aboard his vessel.

Currently his Diamond-class Cruiser has 2x laser cannon batteries.

I would like to upgrade this to: 6x Dual Medium Turbolaser Batteries, 4x Quadlaser Batteries.

Due to it not having to be able to recharge, repair and maintain x hundred large droid tanks or over 2000 spider droids, I assume that a lot of power would be freed up, this is what would be used to power these weapon systems, which would bring it in line with a fairly generic (but well armed) corvette level and make the ship a little more viable for use in any combats.

I really don't have a problem with this but I am uncomfortable enough with it that I would prefer to see some malfunctions from time to time.

Vote: APPROVE

As this request is seven days gone now with no further Management response I am going to move to close it within the next five days.

Sorry I dragged my feet here. I'm a little more apprehensive about this than Mt. in this case, because the Diamond-class, as I understand it, is essentially a transport for the tanks, spider droids, etc. that you mention, not a permanent home for them. Thus I don't think it necessarily follows that the ship would use a lot of power to "recharge, repair and maintain" those droids any more than a troop transport would have food and drink on it to feed the troops who reside on it for all of 10 or so minutes (larger troop transports do, of course, but the Diamond-class isn't all that large, and it's an imperfect metaphor anyway; repair and maintenance obviously aren't as important as food and drink). I'm still willing to APPROVE, but I'd like to see Mallix acquire some additional power source in the RP, preferably by some exciting means involving other players. That and, yes, the malfunctions.

I can see Jace's apprehensions about this but he is willing to approve so shall it be, however, as stated above I am uncomfortable with this as well so it will only be approved with Jace's caveats in place.
