History

Republic Assault Ship, Clone Battleship, Peacekeeper or simply - Acclamator-class. Built by Rothana Heavy Engineering, these ships jumped straight into fire and were the stars of Republic's showdown on Geonosis along side the LAAT's and AT-TE's they were carrying. Used throughout the whole war, these ships delivered countless clones and their vehicles to battlefields where they were most needed. Having outstanding hyperdrive and competent armament, they were a tough catch for the Separatists. Acclamators could also engage smaller CIS warships, but it was advised to keep them away from large battles, or at least put them into rear echelons of the formation. Eventually the Acclamator II was developed, but with Venators being in full production - "new" ship just didn't find it's place in the fleet.

Once the New Rule came, Acclamators continued their service under the Imperial banners. There was simply no good replacement on the horizon - and frankly, Empire didn't even seek one. Most troops and their equipment were delivered into battles on Imperial Star Destroyers, while Acclamators became valuable "second line" assets. It was rather common to see Acclamators transporting recruits, civilians or even inmates, with many ships being converted into mobile prisons and transporting some of the galaxy's most feared and dangerous cons. Rebels use of captured Acclamators was never confirmed, and remains highly unlikely.

Pros: large carry capacity for both craft and personnel, decent armament, ability to land on planets, ridiculous upward thrust and status of the only ship capable of carrying Juggernaut family of vehicles.
Cons: lacks thrust in all other directions besides up, and presence of subgrids makes this ship rather susceptible to clang.

Additional Notes

• Programmable blocks are turned off by default to improve performance. If you still desire to use them - access the terminal and toggle the group "Programmable Blocks" on.
  
• Note that Loadouts section includes only craft secured via Connectors, and thus it does not include stuff like AT-TE's and TX-130's. How many of those can fit? No clue, so as many as you'll be able to stuff per square inch.
  
• Before deploying landing gear, always make sure to retract LG Doors first (Piston group).
  
• Yes, this thing can stand on it's landing gear... technically. Having that big of a ship just bounce on it's feet is not the best idea though, so I would advise lowering gear, touching the ground, re-enabling Dampeners and turning the ship into station. This way it will be a lot more stable. Perfect area for landing - various ice fields.
  
• Just like with Venator - real bridge is embedded into the hull for better protection. Lore-accurate bridge is more or less decorative.
  
• Also like with Venator, hangars are not pressurized. Because A) you don't need hangars to be pressurized, and B) game wouldn't let it happen anyway. This thing already has problems with constant pressurization failures despite the area being completely sealed.
  
• I know people are going to beg for Republic paint scheme but meh, I don't feel like doing it. And having a gray ship (which is still accurate to AotC, mind you) means that Empire fans can also have an assault ship in their arsenal as well.

I planned to post Acclamator on Friday, but I somehow managed to get a little bit ahead of schedule, yipee... Will post a little bonus build in a couple of days as well, so see you again pretty soon.
