[Custom] Subjugator-Class Cruiser (NightCloak-configuration)

Design philosophy annotation:

The Subjugator-Class Heavy Cruiser of the NightCloak configuration is designed to be a super weapon without being technically a super weapon.

Obviously the regular Subjugator-Class Heavy Cruiser is an itchy topic for most players, who would go for a more Separatist-looking faction fleet and despite my faction being cornered around nothing more than "the destruction of the entire universe", it's pretty obvious that it is only a bench mark.
A bench mark, I try to show off IC by developing weapons like these, which seemingly have the potential to threaten the universe, but OOC I have no intentions of these things destroying an inhabitated planet of the Legends/Canon continuity at all. Hence why the Pulse Cannon has to go, as even in regular naval engagements it would feel way too overpowered, even if it would not be credited as a superweapon.

The Night Cloak configuration is a good compromise, as by it's description alone a single Night Cloak emitter isn't powerful enough to threaten a planet. It is powerful enough to cause a visual distraction, as shown within the Battle of Selaggis, where Zsinj utilized the Second Death, the remnants of an Executor-class Star Destroyer to fake the destruction of the Iron Fist, his actual Executor-Class vessel.

Basically I want to reduce the Night Cloaks to solely the stealth ability and replace the Ion Pulse Cannon with it to turn this dreadnaught into a vessel with limited stealth capabilities assuming that stealth fittings describes the nature of the Night Cloak better than Cloaking abilities. If the RPA would argue that it would be the latter and thus one additional point, I can always drop the speed by 1 point in exchange of course though the goal was never a fully invisible Subjugator.

Secondly I added the middle portion of the text regarding "several hundred Subjugator-class heavy cruisers of the same configuration would have to be in orbit in order to freeze a smaller planet to a critical point" to also ensure that it is pretty much impossible to abuse the Night Cloak configuration as an effective super weapon.
A Subjugator-class Heavy Cruiser is as a Light Star Cruiser class vessel only achievable, if someone has a faction of 10 members at least and requires 2 faction points. "Several hundreds" emphasizes that at least 200 or more Subjugator-class heavy cruisers would be needed to achieve the complete freezing of a planet. Which means: Whatever faction leader wants to achieve this goal, they would require 400 faction points as a minimum to pull this off!

So technically utilizing several Onager-class Star Destroyers or a Xyston-class Star Destroyer with it's canon configuration or even using an Eclipse-class Super Star Destroyer is a faster way to break the rules than going with this vessel, in case there is concerned regarding the purposes of this faction vessel.
I'm aware that super weapons on JvS are a touchy subject and not allowed by the rules, thus the reminder that this is only theory crafting and logical conclusions why I designed this ship in a way that it can't possibly threaten the universe, even if its IC creators claim that it has the ability to threaten the universe.


also altered the point defenses to 400 Twin Turbolaser Batteries, 2 Tractor Beam Batteries and 75 Point Defense Light Laser Cannon Batteries as I felt like the original Subjugator-class was facing a similiar problem as the Mandator IV with having way too less point defense cannons in place across the overall ship. I hope this configuration alteration makes also sense, while hopefully still keeping it at a 4 in offensive like the original configuration. Even without the Ion Pulse Cannons it's still a deadly ship

From how I understand it, the Nightcloak at the Battle of Selaggis was visible and so was Zsinj's ship, wheras the confusion began, when the Ironfist jumped to hyperspace and the remains of the Second Death were identified as the remains of the Ironfist , given that nobody was aware of the decoy Super Star Destroyer and Zsinj made a believable tantrum about how Solo destroyed his beloved flagship. Meaning that the Second Death itself was never detected on sensors and on eyesight from outside the cloak, but the position was known.
One of the pilots , who entered the Nightcloak actually realized the ploy and could even see the markings on the Second Death, stating Ironfist, but he got killed off before he could report the discovery.

That's kinda why I would argue Orbital Nightcloaks to function more like Stealth fittings rather than an actual stealth ship, which you couldn't really see.
The Nightcloaks obviously seem to hide a ship with such a configuration on sensors, yet the actual  'cloak' and what is within it can be spotted nontheless, unlike actual stealth ships like the famous one from Clone Wars. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding Stealth fittings here, so if I do, I apologize and would like to listen to the actual difference again to not repeat any mistakes.

It's of course up to the RPA to decide whether it still counts as that or as an actual Stealth Cloak, because in that case I might lower its speed and replace the Stealth fittings with actual stealth. I personally felt that having an actual stealth heavy cruiser within a faction fleet might be a bit strong, wheras a Heavy Cruiser with stealth fittings is quite a terrifying sight at first, but still managable to do within a faction fight.

I would explain in the description the limits of the Stealth systems.

With that, I will APPROVE!
