GMG bomber ( replace )

[Jinx]

here we go - this is the final model for the GMG taidan bomber ( replace ) - a mixture between kusari and modular borderworld, while trying to keep it simple and somewhat like a utilized ship. - the idea behind that is that the GMG has a good experience with fighters and was one of the first ones to deploy a bomber of their own.

this design features its four guns mounted in a "X" around the frame so that weaponfire does not disturb the cockpit view so much. - the torpedo tubes are - in contrast to many later designs not mounted at the wings, but instead vertically to ensure a better aiming. - one mounted on top, the other below the hull.

( the bottom console is removed in the final model and integrated in the roof console as you can see below )

the whole model is painted white with silver stripes ( just like the current one ). the lower left picture shows the locations of the weapons, while firing 4 purple goddesses.

tested:
- dropping mines
- dropping CM
- undocking
- docking with stations ( fp11 and yaren, with jumpholes, with planets and with battleships )
- firing weapons and taking enemy fire tested
- taking enemy blast damage tested
- attacking an enemy osiris

problems:
- while the setup with the tubes on top and on the bottom works great for SUPERNOVAS, i had some trouble with NOVAS. - or ..... i fired them, and when i pulled up right afterwards, i collided with my own nova torp, cause the torp launches from around the middle of the ship and does not travel fast enough to allow extreme manouvers while firing it ( launches quite close to the ship itself )
- it has NO transparent cockpit.... cause i don t know how to make one.... but the one i made looks like its glassy enough. at least i have no prob with it.

no other problem found.

size: it matches the shape of the current taidan bomber - so its exactly the same length and width. it is slightly more massive and taller - but nothing to justify altering its hitbox. ( maybe 1% taller )
