(THE MODEL DUMP)

[dude42]

I went back and put a dusty blue stripe on it.
I think it makes a big difference.

That's about my favorite model ever, very very very nice. It does kind of say "bomber" to me, but, it would also make a nice light gunboat as you say. Make it maneuver halfway between a gunboat and a bomber, give it full speed thruster, a unique new ship.

That thing is stylish! :cool: I will fly that. However there is a small flaw in your 'Hybrid' proposal. I am all for the fighter gunboat idea but there is a catch.....

Any fighter wort it salt for high level players requires Level 10 gun mounts for codies (LF's excluded). However putting those on that invites the trouble of someone mounting gunboat forwards. This is sure fire to spark a forum argument. I personally would have an issue with it, but there is bound to be some one who does. And of course there will be someone who will try mounting Liberty/BD forward guns on it too.

You can either calibrate it to be a full SHF or GB. Either direction will solve both problems. I do recommend you email Igiss for direction. As he will be the one adding the ship he might be able to steer you in a better direction.

It has only 4 little turrets, and yes, 2 Lv10 Fighter gun mounts
but many ships have Lv10 mounts, I did not know you could put
a GB-forward gun in a Lv10 fighter wep slot.

If so, sounds like a new rule.


Am I reading this wrong; forward guns can be put on Lv10 Fighter slots!?

Yes, they are more less the same thing. The forward guns are really powerfull modified fighter weapons. Thats the only way to make them work. Most fighter do not have the power/initial cargo space to mount and use them, but a Gunboat/Fighter hybrid might just.

I know something you all don't know, including dude 42. I have flown it already in the game.:D:D:D

Looks really nice. Had a bit of work with the model in MS, also with the textures.

@ dude 42: Will send you a complete e-mail with the model files, how to implement them and the issues i had.
Therefore i need your e-mail again, because i deleted your mail unintentionally, when cleand my mailbox.
Just send me via PM.

I will fly that ship. I don't care how bad the stats are or which faction gets it, IT IS MINE.

I agree w/ Morrigan. That Super-Heavy Fighter is something we need more of in-game. Something to bridge the gap between Gunboats and VHF's. There's what? Kushan and the Nebulon Ranger (sorry, don't remember the right name). This I believe is an un-tapped ship catagory. Maybe a Torpedo Mount to make it a true SHF instead of one of the Transport Turret, and good-to-go.

The Barghest Pirate Bomber i made, if implemented will be another one, because of its size, but it will lack Gunboat turrets. Just 4 guns, 2 turrets and 2 torpedoslots.
