Pandora & Cocoon: I will re-approve both of these, but only under the stipulation that neither are mass-produced and that the ability to carry explosives is dropped entirely. They can be battle droids/probe droids or smart bombs, but not both. In addition to that, I'd like to see the Pandora's maser cannon, internal blasters, gas canisters, frag mines, and repulsor feet removed. It can have a light blaster cannon or charric for a primary weapon. Your choice.
Can they be purchased by individuals and organizations? I'm not aiming for a droid army, just added security. I'll make the necessary edits tonight.
Gambler's Utopia: We don't even allow main factions to have starships as large as this one, so I'm not sure how that was missed. Furthermore, the write-up states that it is affiliated with the Galactic Trade Coalition. If they built it, how did the Imperial Knights come about using it for their base of operations? Was it stolen? Was it given to them? Is the GTC renting out rooms to organizations that could possibly endanger their business? I don't see a purpose for this ship other than to give the Imperial Knights a freebie, which isn't characteristic of an organization that revolves around trade and profit. This will remain archived. If the Imperial Knights require a base of operations or a flagship, they can submit a new profile after the skip.
I can tone down the size. I'm not the best judge when it comes to deciding dimensions. Working with Xeno, it's a DSC that the IK have a small hideout on. It's not solely controlled by the IK. It's commander may be an IK, which I plan to switch out with a DSC NPC so that K can be more independent, but it's not solely under its control. In fact, it's closer to Hutt control than IK control (yet at the same time not Hutt control, as Addipos the Hutt helped fund it but isn't the major shareholder). Originally I had proposed it with Xeno to be with the normal DSC when it appeared that there'd be a subboard for each DSC; as that didn't happen, the purpose of this ship lessened. Mostly it serves as a rendezvous for IK, Indies (especially mercenaries and smugglers, as it secretly serves as a shadow port). My plans post-time skip were to keep it mostly neutral (despite housing some IK). Still, I'll abide by your recommendation.
Cradle: This is a sound concept, but who owns it? Cane Es Cade? The monarchy of Empress Teta? It's also quite large for something that doesn't even belong to a faction. You make a reference to the Galactic Alliance, but they are about to be defeated, which means this station is likely to become a target immediately following the Battle of Coruscant. I don't see a clear intent, so I'm going to keep it archived. If a faction works with you to bring this thing back post skip, I'll work with you on that.
CRADLE was designed to be a shipyard orbiting Empress Teta. During the invasion of Empress Teta, it was given to the Jedi and any GA forces on the planet to escape on, in which CRADLE fled Empress Teta. Currently it is under Ashara Vashee's command. My intent was it would allow for a safe haven for rebels and/or Jedi post-time skip. Each Cradle has gone a different direction.
Ark: Two million passengers, 150,000 metric tons of cargo, a hefty compliment, a heavy armament, jamming capabilities, and a mere 2,000 meters of ship don't mix. You need to seriously rethink this thing before I move it from the archives. You've made a colony ship that is also a warship and a carrier. There's no significant trade off and there definitely should be. Please make changes and get back to me on this one.
I'll work on it tonight and get back to you.
