Order Gunship

[Jinx]

why does the hathor not look like the other order ships?
- cause its basicly produced / developed by zoners and not the order

does the order need / require a light gunboat?
- no, they don t
- if they want to have a FAST one, they can pick the conference, which is the fastest gunboat in the entire game, - more nimble than even the BHG GS

why do gunboats die in mass group battles?
- cause they tend to be targetted first. - they are dangerous for bombers, yet the combined firepower of support vessels ( destroyers and larger ships ) and bombers / VHF can "rather" easily hit them.


why i am against replacing it.. :

- it has a perfect hitbox ( in contrast to the zoner conference for example, which has a resized rhino hitbox making it larger than it actually is )
- its look is really good enough. - it has a distinct feel about it - and while its different than the conference, one can clearly see the similarities
- it is the perfect opposite to the zoner gunboat. - the zoner GB has the minimum turret number, the hathor, the maximum. the conference is the most nimble gunboat, the hathor somewhat the least ( or among the lesser ones ), with 120k hitpoints its definitely on the upper scale of protection of gunboats.

it is a perfect heavy gunboat. - it has the SAME amount of problems that for example the BHG GS has. - but the BHG GS is troubled by a lack of energy for its weapons and a severe lack of choice of weapons / firepower. - the hathos is troubled by a lack of ability to dodge but has twice the amount of weapons AND can fire them. - 600k energy compared to 400k energy is a lot. 30% more energy to play around with.



i do understand that one wishes to have "everything" - but if every faction asked for everything that is possible, - it would be pretty nasty on disco.

order ships are often more on the heavier, larger side. - the nephtys, the sekhmet, the carrier, the gunboat - even the recon cruiser is large for its use. ( the osiris is small and all, but its a design the order wasn t involved in at all )


so from me, its a definite "no" to change the model / concept AND / OR to add another one.
