New Coalition Shipline

[cmfalconer]

Why, I'm speaking of the model itself, not the stat balancing that will be done at a later date... Or perhaps you just enjoy falling back on "no u" arguments combined with threats of application of your moderator powers just because you don't enjoy that somebody dares to ask questions of this nature.

As an alternative: Why not just answer the question? Why doesn't the Insurgent have an undercarriage like the Sabre in order to make it more like a very heavy fighter and less than a Kusari fighter?

Questions of a balance nature in a thread for models? No, not really, but since everyone else capitulates, I suppose I can too.

Because it's not a Sabre, and because we didn't want one when designing them. Do you mean less like a Kusari VHF? A maneuverable, small, hard-to-hit, but balanced, ship? Why wouldn't we want that? It's an evolution of the ships after a failed experiment.

PvP factor. Nothing else. I have nothing against these new models. But exchanging the current ones just because "they suck in PvP" isnt really rellevant reason.

Yes, that's exactly it. We want to be the elites of Sirius. Please refer to our previous post.
Oh...serious answer? OK. The ships have bungled hitboxes that have never been fixed, and because of the size of the winged undercarriages, are pretty darn hard to balance (according to those in the know). Added to that they're pretty much boxes on top and sails on the bottom, they're fairly lower quality.

We (The SCRA, the paying customers) are quite happy with the models, the looks and the skins of them. As for the stats, size, and overall performance...that'll have to wait for the betas huh?

This is related to balance, yes.

But that doesn't change the fact that the model is too damn small for a VHF.
I have no objections to the LF model. But the VHF looks barely larger than the LF. Maybe it could qualify as a light HF, but that's no VHF.

Pictures are one thing. I can make the Typhoon look the same size as a Partisan if I wanted to. They don't reflect the overall size of the models, just the look of them.

*snip* The SCRA are not special. *snip*

We're not? My world is shattered. :(

They'll realease more info on those when they feel like it. If they haven't already, I haven't bothered to read the whole thread.

We won't. Guess everyone will have to wait until they see one ingame. Especially after the less-than-warm welcome the snub-fighters got from this cadre of people (community doesn't fit at the moment).

Also, Ashes...Thank you. Not only for your work on the models themselves, but for the posts you've had in this thread. *salutes*.
