Greetings! I'm new to the lore of A1-0 and as such have a question. I still have to read most lore, as i unfortunately don't have that much free time, but what I wanted to question is this - How do you define the firepower of spaceships, individual or within a fleet? I am preparing my lore to be compatible with lore and rules of A1-0 but what I lack is information about spaceship/Fleet firepower when compared to others, as I don't want to make my own Empire and its elements overpowered.

Well generally, it depends on what type of spaceship your using, and what guns you have mounted on.

wdym by it being too big for my ships? Is there a maximum ship size? I was planning on having my military generally centered around one or two very large vessels, larger than your superdreadnaughts. I understand that they would function as a massive target, being a massive blow to my military if they were destroyed.

Well I don't think we have a limit on ship size, but your superduperdreadnoughts might be on a technological scale where you could move real sized stars which could be considered godmodding. I would suggest other RP'ers also weigh in on this conversation.

I don't think it'd be any different from a regular megastructure. You might be surprised how relatively easy it is to move celestial bodies.

Thank you, interstellar visitor, for taking interest in Ferristia. May we all, one day, stand with one another, rather than against. We hope you enjoy reading.

Now I don't normally see anything wrong with having "the power of the sun in the palm of one's hands," but there are logistical problems with the idea of physically housing a star inside a star dreadnaught especially the collapsed core of a supergiant star.

First and foremost how does one replace the star once its expended its energy? Does the vessel split itself open somehow to "consume" the star or does its go the Rakata star forge/First Order star killer base route absorbing the energy of the star from the outside? Then there's also the issue of technology, even though this is science fiction there is a fine line between godmodding and having powerful technologies.

Dyson spheres are considered balanced despite possessing materials that would have made thermal weapons ineffective because they are immobile energy plants. Having this on a moving vessel on the otherhand straddles the line of godmodding since the ship itself would have to regulate the immense heat from the enclosed star, be large enough to house said star and then have thrusters large enough to move the vessel.

The amount of mass that has to be accelerated needs to be considered too. Would it be feasible to move about with such a massive things as a neutron star, even if it's a fraction of a normal neutron star?

I see your points. I’ll use a small artificial star, and my ships won’t be big enough to move stars or alter orbits.
