    Default [Saga] Ship design question

    So if the party were to have* a capital ship (Blockade Runner) with a pair of turbolasers and a fighter bay for defense, what would be the best way to outfit a supporting ship?

    Right now as to which ship I'm considering a firespray (Like slave 1) Or correlian stock freighter (Millenium falcon).

    So how best could I turn such a ship into a supporting weapon, without making it seem expressly designed for that purpose?

    *Technically it's the plot important NPC's ship. But it's going to be the PC's home base of sorts.

    EDIT: Now with numbers!

    Ok I've decided on the firespray-31.

    Base cost of 120,000
    Licensing fee 6,000
    Combat thrusters 10,000
    For a total of 136,000 credits.

    Leaving me with a total of 4,000 in order to get my personal gear. I don't need much. Pretty much just a sword and gun.

    Note to self: Never get involved in an ethics thread again...Especially if I'm defending the empire.

    You basically need it to be expressly designed for that purpose. Probably the best bet is to make it antifighter since there is no way you can build a Colossal (Space Transport) and realistically take out most capital ships. Taking out fighters on the other hand is easy. You need Combat Thrusters (think its those, the item in SotG that lets a Colossal (Space Transport) engage in dogfights, and otherwise act as a fighter), and some weapons. I'd honestly recommend looking that Millenium Falcon and stealing those weapons.
