Title: Mediator class cruiser
Post by: Lord Hoth on August 19, 2015, 05:41:41 PM

Is there any chance that we could see the mediator class for the NR in ICW?

No design, no stats, and no reason to give the NR a second SSD.

There is a pretty good fanmade design floating around, even an EAW model used in mods such as Awakening of the Rebellion.
The Remnant have four different SSDs and the Alignment has two. The NR has nothing inbetween the Viscount and the Nebula, and the Viscount is only available in the last eras.
Why not give them an intermediate ship with stats adapted to game balance?

The mod team prefers to use canon designs unless they absolutely MUST design it themselves, such as with many of the EoTH ships.  With the fact that they've got a fairly complete roster, and by far the best fighters/bombers in the game, then the Mediator isn't something they NEED.  Yes, it would be nice to have, but it's not absolutely necessary for balance.

Plus, it wouldn't give them anything early.  It wasn't designed until 17 ABY at the earliest (after black fleet crisis), so it would be available only in the same era as the Viscount...making it redundant.
