Coalition made, Civilian Liner

[Jinx]

some hardcaps that you should consider :

- no transport must have more than 5k cargo - unless its called a "barge"
no matter the size! - if we say that a ship 8 times larger than a lib DN must have 8 times the cargo or 8 times the armour, you really don t wanne fight a juggernaut - and after around 4 hours chainfiring on a barge, you d switch the game off - out of boredom. ( just like the bargeplayer did 2 hours ago )
- no more than 32 turrets on a ship - more will require a hack, which exists but isn t planned ( cause really - 32 is enough )
- please, do not create hybrid ships if possible - that means, do not mix shields, weapons, energycores etc. - hybrids always cause balance chaos!

also

- when its siriuswide available, it must be GREEN to sirius civilians, not white!
- when its WHITE - it is faction property! which is anything but free for all - consider that. ( cause when its white, you need to submit to whatever the faction asks you to do )
- when its a liner, think in terms of LINERS - what is important for a liner? weapons? or maybe rather active defense mechanicsms - like CMs and long range scanners, a quick charging cruisedrive, thruster etc.

because:

- when its too close to a capital warship, it will also be considered as a capital warship - meaning, it will be a liner which police and military will really really dislike - and probably ban sooner or later - cause if they don t ... they ll have many many "civilian battleships" floating around. ( if its green to all )





edit:

the model itself is VERY good. - but i have to agree - its not quite a liner - its not even a civilian transport - it looks like a highly specialized armoured transport for troops on a planetary assault. - the area that looks like cargo compared to other areas is too small. - if we caompare it to lets say the normal lux liner.

- lux liner : around 75% of the ship appears to be passenger space, 20% is engines, 5% is brige etc.
- prison liner : same like the lux liner - a little less space for the "passengers" though
- mastodon : around 65% cargospace, but attachable like the train - so it can be a lot more in theory
- titanic : around 90% of the ship is cargospace
- GMG whale : around 90% is cargospace
- trains : like mastodon its cargospace is attachable
- behemoth : around 60% is cargospace


judging from the images - i expect it to have around 20-30% cargospace at most compared to its size.
