Making the Kingfisher a Bomber. - t0l - 02-24-2014
With the end of the Zoner capital ships in sight, the Zoners could use their own Zoner-line bomber to defend themselves against larger nomad forms and large pirate vessels. Since the Kingfisher is so often ignored, I think it could find a home amongst it's Zoner brethren to become the light bomber of choice for Zoners. I also suggest using the original model Kingfisher, using the two massive side torsos to mount the bomber weapons and the bottom platform for four guns.
Yes, I know that the Zoners have access to the Roc, Waran, Broadsword, and Touketsu, but who gives? They should get something in exchange for caps.

Practically already turns like one. Can't see why this wouldn't work.

And it would give a reason to exist for a nice ship model.
Always loved the Kingfisher, however... ye. Not really useful as it is now.
Definitely for this.

Going to bump this, maybe pavel will move it to the proper subforum.

I know not many people want to here this but there is a model made by Jinx, it is currently on the Aquillon if you want a good view of it in game but here

(4th one down or so)
it is a Zoner Bomber concept (I assume) and it would be totaly on Jinx as to if it were to be implemented.
Figured if Zoner Bomber is being discussed might as well bring in the ones from the woodwork onto the stage.

The Kingfisher is already taking up room in the mod, and NO ONE that I know of uses it.
Besides, it has some bomber-like structure. It'd fit fairly well.

A Healthy Bump for the sake of Bumping, also because I'd rather not see this idea die and sink to the graveyard of Disco yet.
Other input would also be nice

Ye. I cleaned up the useless shiz.

I must admit that I cannot see the logic in this.
The argument is, that Zoners need to use their diplomacy to survive. Then where is the logic in adding a ship, that has no function other than a tool of combat?
Maybe there's some reason behind this, but it's perfect nonsense imho.
Also. I really like the idea of letting diplomacy be Zoners' main 'weapon', but as others have mentioned, sometimes there is just no way to RP a solution.
If Zoner's become 100% dependent on others for protection, they are forced to march by everyone else's drums all the time.
Hope you get what I mean, I try to look objectively at it.
I don't own a Cap so I don't really feel strongly one way or the other.
Just my 2cents. I'm sure the Dev's have thought this through.

No reason.
Seriously, bombers make perfect sense to me for Freeport defense. Most matters can be handled diplomatically, but some things can't. And a bomber takes less parts and labor to keep moving than a battleship. Can't travel as far, but again, station defense. (Or defense of anything that can fit docking modules.)
