Eureka!

After reading through the majority of this thread I have to say, just go with the repair ship, that's its purpose and it isn't used nearly enough form what I have seen as least.

As for guns looking silly on it, is there a way to make it so the weapons wont display? Alternatively you could just stick a weapon wrack on it instead of design an entirely new ship.

hehe--if you crammed all the guns described or even just swapped the currrent ones with some of the cap turrets--it would be the most oorp thing you ever saw.

Guns can be hidden simply by putting them inside the model--if it is big enough to do so. The repair ship isn't.

I actually based this on a "enlarged reapir ship". if i get the time I'll try to throw a demo concept model together (very primitive).
