I Have An Idea, A Bank Transport, it will be heavily armored, have about 14 turrets, but NO Shield hardpoint
Its like A Armored Van That banks use to transfer money these days, except much better then the Armored Transport ( Much Much Much Better), it can be used for Clan Bank Accounts, i'll try and draw up a blueprint later on *shivvers* paint and upload its picture ( i dont have a scanner) basically its stats would be like this
Armored Bank Transport
Armor: 225000 (225 thousand)
Gun/Turret Mounts: 0/14 (the level that transport turrets use)
Power Output: Same As Cargo Container Transport
Max Impulse Speed: 60
Cargo: 2000
Description:
This Transport is used for transporting extremely valuable objects from all corners of Sirius, however- they have no shield hardpoint, but make up for it with extremely high armor and more Firepower , the speed is reduced since it sacrifices speed for cargo space.
P.S I have No knowledge Whatsoever in Modeling, so if somebody could model it for me, if it is passed as allowable, that is.....

Id like to add to this, we could have a server event where someone (admin picked or something) logs on with a bank like that (say its moving money from one of the houses to another, have it loaded with 10-20 or 30 mills worth of credit cards and the pirates can try and pirate it, of course it will have escorts aswell...
Sounds like fun no?

I think this is a good idea as well. GOod thinking Sean.:)

Now all you need to do is get screenshots or concept sketched for the modellers to have a look at.

it sounds like a moveable station more than anything if it is big bulky high armour and slow with no shield.
the question one must always ask oneself is : does disco really need another ship?
I Have An Idea - BestFlyerHere - 07-14-2007
It would need shields to protect it from NPCs, because regardless of its weapons, NPCs will damage you, no matter how slight the damage is.
I echo Olsav... Do we need it?

I think it's a good idea. WE could use something like this and it would be good for clan banks.
And yes, BFH and olsav, we always need new ships. And they new ship doesn't need to be a Lane Hacker bomber either hehehe.

Liar, it does need to be a Lane Hacker bomber!
But that is stupid. Why use that thing when you can get a BS?
Give the thing a civilian transport graviton shield. That'll make it "better" for what you have in mind. I really cannot see the use of such a thing

Just use the Prison ship for that, mate. Sorry.

Decent thinking but it does not serve a large function. I don't care how much hull you have not having a shield is a bad thing. Besides we have those new house themed super transports on the way I believe.
New ships need to fulfill major roles that are lacking. I am currently working on concept sketches for a general pirate bomber (mollies/rouges) and Rhiendland battle cruiser. Both of these ships are guaranteed regular use. For bank I use a repair ship. Banks don't typically leave a home system.
