Recommended Ship Format
Name: What is the Name of your ship? Make sure it is not already taken by a canon ship or a previous custom ship.
Information: This is where information such as who made the ship, history of the design, and other fun facts about the ship should be.
Dimensions: Length, Width, Wingspan (if has wings) and other areas you think should go here.
Picture: They say a picture is worth a thousand words. If you have an image of your recommend ship then place it here. If you don't have one, then don't include this section
Ship Appearance: This is where all the information about the appearance is placed. This should be filled out even if you have a picture because a picture is not always clear on things like cockpit location, weapon location, or even what way is up. If your ship has landing gear or requires landing ranks it would go here also. Does your ship has an astromech droid to help with repair and navigation?
Weapon Payload: This is information about what your ship carries for weapons. If your ship has turrets you should include the arcs which turrets cover. Also, projectile weapons like missiles need to have the size of the magazine. Finally, is the a weapon fixed, if so what direction does it face, and does it have tracking ability? The more information on the location the better.
Defensive Systems: These are things such as shields, hull armor, sensor jamming systems and other countermeasures. Shields should say how many arcs there are that cover the ship and what areas they protect. The hull should include what it is made out of and if it is reinforced with extra plating. Sensor jammers weaken lock-ons but are not perfect, so give their strength. The final area includes items like Flares, Chaff, and decoy buoys.
Sensor Systems: These state just how well the ship can lock on and track others. The most basic sensors can only read ship type, while as you go up you can read shield strength and even power output. Remember that the better the sensor the heavier they'll be.
Engines: This is where you explain what powers your craft. Are they Ion engines or not? (A-wings are an example of one that is not) What is the top acceleration and speed? In this area it is best to compare to an already existing ship in the Star Wars Universe. Also your Hyperdrive ranking goes here. Does your ship have a hyperdrive? Does it have a backup hyperdrive?
Classification: Is it a Command ship, Destroyer, Carrier, Missile Cruiser, Corvette if it is a large ship. Or what type of fighter such as Fighter, Interceptor, Bombers, or some other strange purpose.
