On a serious note, the [insert abrreviation of Democritus here] is indeed useful just not for straight up fighting. Two Countermeasure slots. Are you kidding me? We straight up duel when you load two CM's, or better yet, a CM and a cloak. Now, your RP cargo will make it to its destination safe practically all the time - be it vacationers to Newcastle or President Jacopi.
I'd more welcome 6 transport turrets, rather than 4 transport slots + 1 what-the-hell-whatever-it-is-shooting-forward.

It is a roleplay ship.
Its purpose is neither to fight anyone nor to use it as a pure trading vessel (you still can make some cash with it)
As Jazzi pointed it out: It's a symbol of wealth by RP means.
Similar to the great Renzu Liner.
Of course I take it into account! Have you ever read my post? Retain the price, sure, but give it 6 normal transport turrets. Or make it able to shoot Razor to fit description.
I agree, it's a status symbol. But it's the least effective vessel in defense, not what I I would expect as an interested client inside the roleplay. And I'm speaking here about roleplay, because ship advertises itself as powerful. It's not.

I spent plenty of hours on a democritus. Even though it is a roleplay ship, I do tend to agree with Fluff. A better powercore is all that is needed.

NO just no.
it makes it special :3

I think that the power core adjustment makes sense.
That would give something along the lines of a sloop; not quite a warship, but more than just a transport.

Make it able to mount and fire a GB Missile.
Or would that make Democritus OP?

It's for putting something aecthetically pleasing for your eye holes when someone is talking to you. You see a person in a Democritus, you can feel the roleplay dripping from within.THE ROLEPLAYS MMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Suddenly you see Impy in a Democritus, Missile equipped and all, pirate is trying to pirate precious money$$$ and then he just completely destroys the pirate due to Impy levels.
In my opinion, Democritus could have a higher regeneration rate, and give it full transport turrets.

I mean, there's no actual use for normal gunboat turret that fire forward only. Also, vessel is too sluggish to use that slot as effectively as gunboat.

Well, there is a use for a forward firing gunboat mount (razor, pulse) but you are right about the maneuvering.
RE: Poll: Democritus - removal of the gunboat turret slot - realekki - 12-20-2015
well, i voted with no, because i think:
1. it make no difference if it has the actual weapon layout or 6 transport turrets.
2. it has 2 CM slots, unfortunatetly uses the fitting cloak 600 cargo and each Baterie 2. and in a messy situation you are CD spammed. cant cloak, cant escape.
3. if the democritus should be "uddated" i prefer a 3th CM dropper and/or a docking bay. Cause at the end its a RP Ship and a sign of "decatend rich"
best regards ekki
