It doesn't make sense. I've been arguing to alter the faction lore to match the assets. Others want to alter the assets to match their view of the lore. All that ends up happening is 'Oh, it's THIS thread again.'
However, my idea is kind of lore friendly, even if you're going with the 'loose confederation' view. If it's a loose confederation, it would make sense that Zoners from different regions would have different designs. I don't see why we couldn't make different variants with the same stats, so these models don't go to waste.

Guess those zoners are just really fashion obsessed, they simply MUST have the latest design, darling!
>_>
It was changed insofar as a missing texture was fixed and (supposedly) the light hardpoints are fixed for Update 4.
But I would gladly trade my Neph and everything on it for the chance to buy one of those in the OP. @_@

I brought this up once and got told to shove it.
I don't remember the previous Persephone being an "inspired by".

This isn't just an "inspired by" though, the two ships look almost exactly alike (Save for a couple things).

It's an import. Jinx has said himself that it is "based" on the ship when in truth it's basically the same thing, just modeled from scratch. So yes, it's the Advent Carrier.
RE: Persephone Leviathan - Kazinsal - 11-04-2013
At least this one was fairly original.
RE: Persephone Leviathan - Tankman - 11-04-2013
Ya the original one has a "I'm going to kill you" feeling to it.

So, is this the model currently being used for the Persephone?
RE: Persephone Leviathan - Kazinsal - 11-04-2013
Nope, that's the one that was replaced for no apparent reason.

Well jeebus, put it in the mod, I'd give a kidney for it @_@

Thats about as stupid as me bringing up the swear kick to escape fights, and having my thread locked, then a bunch of people doing it. Imports are to be purged, and the Old Persephone was fine, I expected better of Jinx.
Id also like to see several of the old ship models used, not neccessarily replacing the newer ones, just alongside them, variety is the spice of life.
