Another train type. - ViK-96 - 05-22-2010
You see that the 'bridge' is always on the front of the ship on the train shipline, the Heron, Crane, Stork...
But you dont see a civilian transport with a 'bridge' or whatever it is called, behind it like with the Pirate Train.
I would like to see this, with cargo pods like the civilian trains use.
What im asking for, is a 'civilian' pirate transport.
So this is it;
Moderate Cargo / 2500
Light Armor / 40k
Class 10 Shield / Yeah :cool:
4x Turrets / To shoot down starfliers
0x CD / No pirating in this thing.
1x CM / Duh! :rolleyes:
Price: 20-30m ish
So in design, its a pirate transport with new textures and added 'civilian' features.

Huh?
The fighter ones are too weak, the battleship one too strong. And BWT has a bridge at the rear of the ship... I'm sure some other transports do too.

Very few. Like, container transport, for instance.
The truth is, a bridge behind seems, in practice, a not so bright idea that reduces visibility but with no real advantage, unlike fighter cockpits, where put in front, have greater visibility but larger exposure to fire, while put in the rear, offers lesser visibility but also lesser exposure. A bridge of a large vessel, no matter where it is, is always well exposed to fire, so might as well put it in front.

You have described the Mammoth here.

Amen on the Class 10 shield.
Maybe we could use a new civvie transport like that. Not everyone can use the mammoth.

Pirate Train is not a train.
It doesn't act in the slightest like a train, and should on all accounts and purposes be renamed to something else.
Trains are the ships that have front mounted engines, Like the Crane line, Ryuujin, Shetland, Colossus.

A train with a front mounted engine can still have a bridge at the rear end of the it. It's rather dangerous to sit on a highly volatile fusion reactor.

Uhm. Bob.
Trains are the large transportey ships witch cargo pods.
The pirate train is kinda a train. It just has engines in the back instead.

well, in FL, trains seems able to pull "wagon" containers. Which the pirate "train" seems unable to do.
