Zoner transport

[Jinx]

the problem is that the zoner warships are horizontally build - and ships of that size are hard to fly through asteroids, which are part of almost all borderworld systems. - a vertically build ship is much easier to fly though - ( or a barrel / tube shaped ship )

if i designed a big transport the way i designed the juggernaut / gunship - it would simply get stuck in every bit of debris - or it would be as rediculously tiny as the whale.

and about the ID change - like i said, zoners are THE trading faction, limiting them to less than maximum cargo has nothing to do with roleplay or balance, and all about so called ooRP zoners, which is not a basis on which to build ID limitations on.

about the general design.... - the gunship / juggernaut are based on ( most probably ) dom kcavosh concepts and wrecks. - this ship would rather be based on what humans brought to sirius ( BW, liberty design ) - meant to be a liner like ship that focusses more on regular cargo, but with a shape that suggests that it also functions as a home. - the current liners are not meant to transport raw materials, the common transport though does not look like it can be used as a home.

life of most zoners happens in space rather than on stations .. so a home like transport that is both, a liner AND a real transport was the concept. cause its a new concept, it wouldn t be based on the warship designs, but on what zoners know from their experience with transports - thats rather human based transports.

edit: well, since you said it does not look like a "zoner ship" - do you think this here would fit in better? - its based on the zoner design concepts instead of the liner and BW series..



this model mixes the whale characteristic with the new juggernaut concept ( shell like design ) and the forked tail.
