Miscellaneous Information and Explanation –
Illustrious Fast Attack Cruiser History:
The IFAC is designred as a suplimentary medium cruiser for use by the Imperial Fleet. It is able to carry two squadrons of fighters and their support craft as do many other ships it size on the roster. Its speed is average - - nothing major.

Propulsion Explanation:

8 Seinar Systems Light Cruiser Brand Engines
8 Large Repulsorlifts (allows ship to hover while in atmosphere)

Just want to point out that this design is impossible. *shrug* That's all I want to say ;) Have a nice day.

Edit:

according to Kraken (the original designer) the speed that the ship possessed before you transcribed it here was 26 MGLT. (that fixes one problem! Oh, look, I'm being helpful!)

Chill, please. Khendon explained everything to me last night, and what he said is perfectly legit.

So what it swrong with it???

Name – Illustrious Fast Attack Cruiser:

Class – Assault Vessel

Dimensions –
Length: 725 Meters Length must be in proportion with what the ship is “packing”
Width: 300 Meters
Height: 100 Meters

Hyperdrive – 1.25 Past Lightspeed

Sublight – “….a hull that could move at the speed of a New Republic X-wing…” This is way too fast. It is possible to make a 700-meter craft move this fast; however, that would require nearly the entire vessel being devoted to speed. Furthermore, it would require very efficient engines using technologies beyond ion. The current vessel’s payload is far beyond an acceptable amount for this speed. Revision is required.

Embarked Vessel Compliment –
24xTIE Defenders That’s a lot of fighters for a 700-meter vessel. It’s possible, surely. One thing has to be kept in mind: for every fighter you add, every weapon emplaced, shield unit increase, and armor denomination enhanced you lower the speed of the craft. Conversely, for every speed increment the craft increases, you must lower the aforementioned. Any change results in a proportionate weakness.

Of course, if you want to point me to some crazy new engine technology that makes this possible, or amazing shield concept, I’ll look at it. (I’m just using shield concept as an example, your hull ratings and shield rating are fine).
4xSentinel Assault Shuttles
4xSkipray Blastboats
10xSpace Troopers

Armaments –
16 Heavy Turbolaser Batteries Heavy, heavy, heavy… oy, I thought you wanted a somewhat well rounded vessel? Maybe not. I’d suggest balancing the weapons with the above critiqued.
14 Heavy Turbolaser Cannons
18 Heavy Ion Batteries
6 Proton Torpedo Octect Launchers



Of course, it's just my opinion. Feel free to find me wrong.
