RE: Border Worlds SHF - Personal Concept - Pet Project Tracker

I counted 12 engines. Twelve! We haven't had a small ship in the game with that many engines since the good ol' Moldy Crow Star Wars fighter. Do want.

It's coming along rather nicely so far! I've been keeping up with this thread this past week and you've made some significant improvements since the initial model. It's starting to give off the appearance of an armored personnel drop ship. As far as stats are concerned, perhaps something more balanceable would be something similar to the Ragnar or Pelican? I suppose the question is thus: Do you want the capability of mounting transport guns (Pelican), or do you want an increased cruise speed (Ragnar)? With all of those engines, I would lean towards a Ragnar-like design - Fighter guns/turrets with a transport shield.

It might be possible to allow for a single transport turret for flak, or gunboat turret for Silencer missiles, but that really depends on how big this thing is. The smallest ship in the game I can think of with flaks is the Gallic Assault Transport. Something even smaller with a flak or even a gunboat missile might be a tad overpowered, especially if it can also mount 2 LF guns.

Would this ship have a CD slot? If not, I could see the missile being possible, since on its own, you wouldn't be able to lock a target down. I guess the main question right now is, how big is this thing? Any chance you could upload a side-by-side comparison to say, the Dromedary?

Finally, I may suggest updating your original post with the updated model. It'd be handy for new viewers to see the latest version!
