Title: MC75 Cruiser
Post by: Only2Genders on April 04, 2017, 09:41:13 PM
The MC75 Cruiser appeared in the Battle of Scarif. It was Admiral Raddus' flagship. I think that this ship should be added in the new update for the New Republic.

Mod's not doing disneyverse canon, only "legends" canon, IE - Expanded Universe Canon.

To quote Corey, "It's not that we have anything against the Hammerhead or anything like that, it's just that there's so much stuff in the Legends universe we don't even, we don't need them, and they're also not ever part of that universe... That's all stuff that doesn't really fit in the mod, and again it isn't that we have a problem with it, it just, it isn't part of the timeline." Rebel Strike - Eriadu Authority Ep 2.

Pretty certain an MC80B will still be more useful then it.

No Disney canon for me.  I am grateful that "Legends" still exists here.   Thank you.

In direct ship-to-ship maybe but the MC75 would be great as an escort capital ship/heavy frigate. While its Turbolaser and Ion Cannon armaments aren't very good, the included proton torpedo launchers could be useful against SSD shields and it could also use the point defense ability to defend against VSD I's and enemy bombers due to the inclusion of point defense cannons. Plus it may have a reasonable fighter compliment. I know this will never be implemented but I'm just playing devil's advocate here.

Reallly though, NR already have so many ships that are there just because they were there in that era/timeline/whatever that serve no role and are outclassed by other ships in their respective category. Even though I'd shoot this idea down the on basis of being didney star wars,.

She has proton torpedoes?! Anyway, looking over the stats yeah look like she would be a heavy frigate or light cruiser, a step above Nebulon-B.
Others already pointed out the problems; we have plenty of ships that are more prominent.
