  1. So just spitballing some ideas in regards to the Subjugator, it's armament, and length.
  2.  
  3. Subjugator-class Canon stats:
  4. •2 ion cannons
  5. •500 dual turbolasers
  6. •400 point defense/twin laser cannons
  7. •10 proton torpedo tubes
  8. •4.845 KM in length
  9.  
  10. The Malevolence in specific:
  11. •2 ion cannons
  12. •5 point defense/laser cannons
  13. •500 turbolasers
  14. •4.845 KM in length
  15. •These are also the same stats for the EU Subjugator-class/Malevolence
  16.  
  17. Devastation Sister Ship:
  18. •2 force crystal ion cannons
  19. •Dozens of twin
  20. •7.892 KM in length
  21.  
  22. Now lets compare these to a couple other similar-ish ships
  23.  
  24. Praetor MK2
  25. •100 tubolasers (60 quad, 40 twin)
  26. •40 ion cannons (10 twin long range, 30 twin)
  27. •4.8 KM to 8 KM long, average is 6.4 KM
  28.  
  29. Assertor-class
  30. •80 turbolasers (40 quad, 10 twin heavy, 30 quad light)
  31. •70 ion cannons (30 quad, 20 twin, 20 medium)
  32. •60 quad laser cannons
  33. •90 concussion missile tubes
  34. •15 KM long
  35.  
  36. Maelstrom-class
  37. •20 heavy turbolasers
  38. •30 ion cannons (10 regular, 20 medium)
  39. •30 torpedo tubes
  40. •10 concussion missile tubes
  41. •Between 2 KM and 5 KM if going by AWC (3.5 KM average)
  42. With this in mind, I propose the following for the Subjugator's stats.
  43.  
  44. Length - 6 KM to 6.5 KM. This way, the Subjugator and it's named ships are proper dreadnoughts instead of a psuedo almost dreadnought that's pushed into the dreadnought category because of it's ion cannon. Also, see the Devastation's length.
  45.  
  46. Weaponry:
  47.  
  48. Standard Subjugator:
  49. •250 twin turbolasers
  50. •40 point defense
  51. •20 torpedo tubes
  52.  
  53. Malevolence:
  54. •2 ion cannons
  55. •180 twin turbolasers
  56. •20 point defense
  57.  
  58. Devastation:
  59. •1 high powered laser beam emitter
  60. •100 twin turbolasers
  61. •10 torpedo tubes
  62.  
  63. So the Subjugator-class (especially the canon version) is clearly meant to be a dakka machine. But given it's smaller size, 500/900 turrets seems a bit much. The 2 KM we added before helps mitigate this somewhat, but when compared to the Assertor's 300 turrets, the Subjugator has too much even if we assume that the Assertor has larger and stronger guns.
  64.  
  65. Now, one thing I wanted to establish is that the Malevolence is a unique ship, and that it's crowning feature was the 2 ion cannons. In turn, I removed the ion cannons from being a Subjugator standard, and gave the Suubjugator more guns to make up for the additional power that the ion cannons wouldn't be draining.
  66.  
  67. The Malevolence has lost 70 turbolasers, 20 pd cannons, and all 20 torpedo tubes in favor of the two massive ion cannons.
  68.  
  69. While the Devastation has lost 150 turbolasers, all pd, and 10 torpedo tubes, in favor of a prototype Death Star-esque cannon. The main cannon also loses it's Ion Cannon name. Why it was an ion cannon, I have no idea, it's a planet cracker after all. And in addition to this, the Devastation loses it's unique length and instead takes on whatever the final number would be. This steamlines the production of the ship, and make it closer to a Malevolence sister ship instead of a offshoot.
