Border World "Train" and Pirate/Corsair "Train" - mohr - 09-24-2007

So there are a bunch of unlawfull factions that use transports to accumilate money for them. Figured that instead of making them use the same cargo haulers as the lawfulls, give them the option to use something a little more their style.

First the Border World Transport. Good for any group that uses the Border World ships, like outcasts.

The engines are not on it yet.

Next the Pirate/Corsair Transport. Like the Bactrean, it is more in the style of the Pirate ships.

The engines will be at the end of the struts at the back end, one on each side. There will be more support struts by the final version.

Both ships will most likely carry less than 4000, be more manuverable than the larger transports, and be better armed then them as well. They will be a little smaller then the large train. Neither are very close to finish, and a final model will be posted before skinning. All suggestions pertaining to one of them should be headed by the ship being refered to. Please suggest as much as you care to, expecially if you plan on using this in the future.

Thanks a bunch ahead of time!

Glad to see you doing this, it'll be great to have a cardamine hauler to go with the new smuggling routes.

The Border World Transport... Well, it looks like a submarine. Or maybe a zeppelin. Overall it just looks kinda, well, boring, and I don't really think it has much in common with the other Border World ships...

The Corsair transport I like a bit better. I do have a question, though... Which end is the 'front'? If the fancier end is the back, then it reminds me of the Camera freighter, which I like the looks of, but is rather unwieldy with the cockpit at the back of the ship.

FRAKING LOVE THEM!!!!!!! If my Junker Freeport idea goes through that would be the perfect place to sell them.

By the way I love how the borderworls version looks like a Zepplin! And the generic pirate one looks bang on too. Cant wait to pilot those in game. Good work!

SUGGESTION FOR GENERIC PIRATE MODEL

Out rigger the engine for that one. You may notice that all of the other sips in that series have their engines connected to the ship by nothing more then a thin Pylon.

SUGGESTION FOR THE BORDER WORLDS MODEL

Loose the top horizontal fins. They make the ship remind me to much of a Los Angles class nuclear submarine.

You read my mind, I was just talking about how great it would be to have a more RP fitting smuggling ship!

Love the Corsair one btw.

The design for the Border World transport is based off a zeppalin. Well kinda that and a submarine. Well I really wanted to see an underslung bridge/cockpit. If there are suggestions for an alternate style, please suggest. I will however remove the upper fins to decrease the similarities to a sub.

The engines on the Corsair/Pirate transport will be on the struts that are jutting out the side on the rear end of the ship.

Please, more opinions are apreciated.
