Praetorian

[tansytansey]

I was going to say almost everything Gurjiv said here.

The Praetorian in my eyes is one of the best bombers in the game as it stands now. Not only because it has a solid powerplant, alot of armor (including bots/bats) and maneuverability, but also due to its SHAPE. If you look at the Praetorian, it is small/thin from every angle: From the sides, from above, from below, it is small! That means an enemy has trouble hitting it from any angle of attack making that bomber very deadly.

Apart from the huge PvP bonuses it currently has, it also looks great as it is, resembles the "Cross-like" shape that the Titan has.

I'm not saying that your model is bad, but the modification would not be beneficial in my eyes neither in combat or the aesthetic value of a Corsair vessel.

Actually the design wasn't meant to be benefical or a hinderance or anything. It was just a design... And one could argue that being "thin and hard to hit" was an issue that made the ship unbalanced, and needed to be addressed. But, as it stands, this is just an idea.

I've also noticed people mentioning the Praetorian may have a bugged hitbox on skype. "Being able to shoot a SNAC through its' cockpit, and do no damage" I believe it was. If this is true then maybe the Praetorian does need a fix up. The model may not need to be changed, but personally I think the textures need to be redone with the proper Corsair textures.

EDIT: Here's that skype conversation about the Praetorians hitbox.

[4/07/2009 8:37:43 p.m.] Jon (The Zig) says: Quite difficult to SNAC due to their curious hitbox
[4/07/2009 8:37:53 p.m.] Ashes says: they're so massive though
[4/07/2009 8:37:55 p.m.] Jon (The Zig) says: They're notoriously good bombers, although that's never prevented me from absolutely raping 'em
