+----- Thread: Modelers [Wanted] - Gaian bomber (/showthread.php?tid=114935)
RE: Modelers [Wanted] - Gaian bomber - Highland Laddie - 05-08-2014
I liked First One for the bomber.
I don't necessarily think the Gaians "need" a VHF, and can say that I have ALWAYS enjoyed being the role of the underdog flying my Chameleon against heavier snubs (and sometimes even winning).
If anything, I would rather that Gaian weapons line be made a bit better, or that the Chammy be given a bit better power core.

Personally I think the second one is the most gaianish at the moment (due the hf), but sure, all of them are a masterpiece. You are right about the heavy fighter, however it isnt capable against other very heavy fighters. The Chameleon has a nice design, but it cant be an option against the bretonian vhf for example at the moment.
So summary, adding a very heavy fighter into the gaian line could be an option. But that is just my opinion.

Version 2 replaced the Chameleon and is now a VHF.
Version 1 is added as a medium bomber.

This is all well and good (and, as always-- Jinx, love the models!), but very few people will get out there and RP a Gaian so it seems rather pointless.
Highland's point about being the underdog (in a nimble, but underpowered craft) is well taken. THAT is the real role of the Gaian, along with some activist nonsense.
In addition, Gaians are about being ecological, so developing a light fighter (even weaker than the Chammy) that can run off of recycles smog from the Leeds system would be more their style-- not a larger, fuel-hogging bomber.
THIS was my design (not a modeller, sry).
How can Gaian's win when constantly outclassed? Cooperation, agility, intelligence. Having cannon-fodder recruits who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the cause (rather than needing to showboat and win fights). Etc., etc.
Disco doesn't have the right PLAYERS for the Gaian faction. That's the real issue, not the shipline.
And then, like Highland said, buff our weapons! Either refire or damage, or one of each. I would personally like some Firekiss Mk IIs on my Chammy, but a high refire laser would be nice, too (and easier to master).

Thank you Jinx (and devs for sure) for completing the gaian shipline.
Tell me the charname, where I could send the promised 1 billion SC for your work please.
Also Kudos.

Do we really have Gaians out flying these things or is it just as dead as before?
RE: Modelers [Wanted] - Gaian bomber - Sath - 06-29-2014
There is a new Gaian group, which has racked up some recruits. Haven't met them in game yet, but I guess, the Gaians might be finally active.
And yes, I fly the Panther, didnt see many of them using that ship though.

I'm flying my Chameleon from time to time. I'll even try to join that new faction soon. And I like the models... might buy the bomber and the GB as well.
