Discussing the IMG line

[Jack_Henderson]

There will be a heavy IMG transport, it just didn't make it into this update. But it already exists.

The LF needs some tuning, it just doesn't behave like a LF. I don't know why (the designer has proven that it is scaled correctly by screenshots). Fighting other LFs (like the CR one) is incredibly hard, the IMG LF is very easy to take down. Some tweaking is needed, likely statwise, to make is useful.

The Duck-ate-baseball or I'm-a-little-teapot (do you know the song?) transport miner rocks. The looks are debatable (isn't beauty in the eye of the beholder?), but I like it personally. It handles like a mining ship should (in comparison to the do-the-rock-bump-dance-yeah Hegemon). Also try the IMG I'm-a-little-teapot miner under attack... you will like what you see (compared to big-as-a-base Hegemon).

The IMG small transport doesn't have enough cargo to make it useful. Classifying it to freighter (reduce the cargo to fit freighters, etc) might make it useable for a shuttle between fields and transports... or a craft for the shady IMG business... perhaps. But: there will be a large one (see above)
Alternative: increase cargo hold to a reasonable amount. This ship is also responsible for a lot of QQ, as the old ship was very useful, while this one is deemed useless by all but one player I know (and I know all currently active IMG| players + some IMG indie groups rather well)

VHF performs well in combat and looks good, imo. The theme "sturdy + dirty" that was chosen for IMG is mirrored in the looks.

Bomber is performing well, and is looking good. It's a real step from the (imo underpowered) CR bomber.

The BC looks good, imo. I haven't tried it yet, but plan to do so.

BS and Zephyr are not missed by me, just my opinion.
