Onboard craft: 2 Tie Avengers

Capsule:The Marauder class Stealth Assualt ship is the Imperial special forces ship of destruction and infiltration.
Designed by Sienar upon request by Crix Madine, before he defected.
Madine asked for a ship that could infiltrate enemy systems and cause massive amounts of damage, in a small package. So Sienar designed the Marauder, the all purpose stealth assualt/transport ship.
The ship is sleek and triangular in shape. It's surface is completely black and smooth and covered with two coats of sensor baffling.
The ship carries two Tie Avenger starfighters, for support and extra firepower. The bays that hold the fighters can hold passengers or extra cargo if necessary.

Ok that's it. Tell me what you think. I'm not sure when I want to say the ship was made becuase I don't know when Madine defected.

All in all, it seems like a good design. I don't think it should be quite that fast, though. A capital ship wouldn't be as fast as a TIE fighter in my capaign. I'd give it a speed of 7 or 8, tops. The speed of a Y or X-wing is plenty fast for a capital ship.

Everything else seems reasonable to me.

The Firepower doesnt decide whatever or not its a capital scale, theres one ship in ISB that says so, but thats just bull****. A ship that small as 35 meters cant have 2D in capital scale armor (8D in starfighter scale), thats just normal sense. And 3D in maneuverbility?

And notes about the "sensor baffling", okay, it would be hard to detect "where it is" but wouldnt it warn the others, that theres "something out there" but they just dont know where and whom?

The Falcon is only 25 meters long and has 6d fighter scale hull armor, so I think a military vessel 35 meters long can have 8d hull. In fact, the Skipray is smaller and tougher than that.

As for the maneuverability, that's 3d cap scale, right? Nothing wrong with that. But if it's 3d fighter scale, well, I wouldn't allow a ship that big to have the maneuverability of an X-wing.

All stats are cap scale.
regarding the speed.
we have a high end pricey military vechile, so i think it's possible.
the sensor baffling note was taken right from P&P.

Well... Ships that are capital scale due to power output are IMNSHO messy to deal with. If I were you I would simply make it starfighter scale to avoid any confusion, and adjust the stats to reflect this. And a question: where exactly can you fit a pair of starfighters inside a ship that's only 35m long? If they piggyback on the ship in special docking cradles that's one thing, but there wouldn't be any room for internal bays, unless you really gutted the ship.
As far as sensor baffling goes, Jastor, I think you're confusing it with sensor jamming. If you use a sensor jamming device then any sensor operator knows that you're there, they just don't know what you are. Sensor baffling is much more advanced, and disguises your sensor profile so that all but the best sensor operators will mistake the readings that they get for ambient radiation, or some such normal phenomenum.

well the ship is triangular in shape, with it increasing in width and depth from the front. And the interior is very cramped.
I'm not going to go into volume or anything like that, but I'm sure it's possible. Plus we're not talking about x-wings or y-wings here, we're talking about a 7 meter starfighter. Of course we're also forgetting that length has nothing to do with the fact of not being able to carry starfighters or not. we have to figure in width and depth to figure that out.
