Bretonia Gunship

[FallenKnight]

I would prefer light GB that looked like it came up from the snub line, instead of something that came down from the capital line. This looks like a BS with a destroyer jaw taped onto it, rather than a light gunboat. I would rather see something like this as the starting point for a light gunboat.

Concept arts from the vanila FL reveal a lot of possible new bretonian ships, the thing is most of them ilustrated with different than the current bretonia ship parts. Thats why, following the bretonia ship line and its standart parts for small ships: bridge/body/engine - we would always receive something similar to that. Its just fact that most bretonian ships are "platforms" instead of our understanding for "space ships" so we see nothing wrong to follow that rule. Its the original rule.

As for that ship you just gave a link, thats from those model that have nothing in common with nearly anything closer to the bretonia ships, neither from their snubs. If you would like to see possible bretonia gunship MK2- you can see the evolution of the FOL conceopts which are 7 images (from the bonus disk) - the end one is another possibility - gunship following the snub line.

It looks almost identical to the Destroyer (only smaller) and IMO that's not a good thing. People could confuse both ships at first glance.

Like you see from the concept, its representation of the original gunship for bretonia before the current one was created. Its interesting model that gives the begining of the "platform" ships of bretonia. That why it reminds you of the destroyer. It must remind you of the destroyer.

And the hardpoints being all in the ship's... arc thingy, it would make it very vulnerable from behind and above, don't you think?

Jinx and I were discussing this for a long time. The thing is that ship should be maneuverable with strange weapon arcs making it more effective as pursuer instead of "right mouse button +TZx10 +less skill" kind of fighter tool. The ship must be in short fighting nonstop facing its enemy thats why possible setup is: 6 forward/4 backward/4sides/2above/5below but still under review. And yes it must not be "perfect" from all sides.

And I think the modelers efforts should go to make some sort of other ship for Bretonia. Like a new Battleship. That would be awesome.

That will be next but wont happen still 4.89:)Aeternus agreed that bretonia cant receive carrier because they wont launch an invasion but they may get use of a heavy battleship considering the bretonia primary enemies during the years: Kusari Battleship (heavy) and the Valor (heavy). Its logical step to follow the heavy line even further but due to lore reason - such a step is impossible for now.


I and jinx would be happy if the votes were primary for the model as it looks like considering the concept. I was expecting the people to say "no" cuz bretonia "dont need light gb" but this is not about what we need cuz what we need is here and is submitted. The poll is only for the model, how it looks like, give oppinions, give feedback.
Thanks anyway.

p.s: Jinx's 3D viwer updated for page 1.
