Hello guys.
Most of you may be aware about the two bretonian projects for new gunship and carrier. The carrier prototype version that is currently in Southampton Shipyard was MK1 version, teaser of what may come next.
Thanks to the old post where players could give opinions about this MK1 model and the bretonian community that is showing great interest about this ship - Jinx have managed to build 2 new models in order to make the ship to look better:
- Mk1, the prototype, was inspired by the original concept of the bret carrier from the bonus disk content. Nevertheless the model took some negativty against that chin so it had to be reworked.
- Mk2, was never revealed but it was following the civilian line - the idea was to maintain the ship structure and change a little the mine body and the head, similar to a modified liner which would make sense considering the desperate situation. Nevertheless, the model was not giving a bretonian "feeling"due to the head, which is something very important for the bret caps.
- Mk3, the current finished version is still following the concept (which was primary guidence) but with some changes - to the head, main body, engines and the old winged-hangars. The current model is representing a standart bretonian design for a capital ship like the dunkirk, which is following...the dunkirk line, call it a modified one similar to the comparison between RM BS and RM Carrier. In that way its fitting best in the lore - representing that bretonian engineers are using ship parts from what they have, modifying them in order to build something new. Totaly new design, inspired by the modern naval space battles during the Kusari war and current Gallic war - was NOT possible. Such a ship could be done in very very late stage in the distant .90 ...maybe, acting as heavy battleship but that is another thing which wont require attention right now.
-Thats the newest information about the carrier.
About the gunship, Jinx have also land us a hand and fixed the old model by following some ideas from the opinion thread. The "chin"/ platform's length was really too much and had to be reduced. The ship main body is slightly changed but overall - the design is again following the inspiration from the original concept for the bretonia gunship - from the bonus FL disk.
Overall, the results are something which no other mod currently may/will have: Actual models, inspired by the concept art of the real Freelancer creators. For unknown reason, the creators left 2 concepts of 2 different capital ships with bretonian design - carrier and heavy battleship. It is strange that the other concepts of the Houses DONT have so many caps.
