Kryze-class Basilisk Heavy StarfighterShip Class: Heavy Starfighter. Ship Role: Superiority fighter. Ship Length: 10.5 meters long, 7.5 meters tall. Agility (A): 4 Defensive (D): 3 Offensive (O): 3 Speed (S): 3 Special Gear: 1 (Automated claws) Description:The Mandalorians of old used to drive an eccentric semi-sentient mount, the Basilisk war droids. The droids were able to pull down planetary defenses, act as fearsome battle mounts for the crazed warriors and deploy a tremendous amount of firepower. However, new times require new solutions. The Kryze-led Nite Owls eventually developed a new type of machine, based on the schematics of the old war droid, but replacing the semi-sentient processing unit with half-automated controls and a cockpit. Now, the mount design had been turned into an efficient starfighter, able to take atmospherical and space battle modes with identical prowess and capabilities. Now, the Mandalorian warrior was protected by a thick hull and shielding and piloted the machine, instead of riding it like a mount. The warship preserved the long and powerful claws, that can be used mid-combat to grab and tear enemy starfighters caught on the fly. The limbs' controls were automated, so the pilot didn't have to worry about it; the superior machine-controlled reflexes were capable of trapping minor starfighters. Also, the claws themselves could be used to tear appart larger ship's fuselage and hull, leaving their interiors exposed for bombing runs or boarding parties. The craft is equipped with a fast-firing sextuple blaster turret, that could simply mow down less powerful and less armored vessels, while it was also equipped with two ion cannons and two laser cannons, at both sides of the cockpit. It equipped with its own hypedrive, so it could be deployed in squads without employing a carrier or a larger support vessel in hit-and-run scenarios.

I am wondering if this is truly a 4 or more of a 3. While the laser cannons are numerous, and the ion cannons give it a slight edge, I am not entirely sure if its either one up or where it is. I don't really count the claws in this offensive stat, only because it would require being able to grab a hold of fighters to be able to deal damage. So its a very conditional in my views.
Other RPA members, what are your thoughts?

Given how things have been 'graded' in the past, and the fact that the claws are not actual weapons unless they managed to actually grab another vessel, I would think a 3 would be sufficient in the offense department.

Then, I think I'll up the defensive to three, cause this thing seems to be well-armored and shielded, so an overall 3 seems more than accurate to me. And lower offensive, cause you can't add more weapons than it has.
