Hathor Gunboat - Zoner design but only Order build it?

[Jinx]

@nooblet:

nope - usually (not always of course) i m hanging around in either a conference ( what a nice coincident ) - or a fighter, depending on my mood ( i change ships quite often ) - mind you, i never had to actually "fight" anyone - so i could have hung around in a starflier with justice mk 1 and a bubble gun if i d liked to.

a CD doesn t do very much to a mine spamming GB, especially when you drop them where the other one cannot fire - ( only works on the really slow GB of course )



reasons for it NOT to have the intended cargospace ( i aimed for 1000 cargo as a matter of fact ) :

the fearless is meant to be a supply ship, too. - and its considerably larger. - so we decided that it would be strange when the conference had more cargo than the fearless, hence the lower cargo. - you might say "so why not boasting up the fearless cargo then?" - cause it would then be used for trading ( serious trading ) - while being totally immune to anything but large and coordinated attacks being a destroyer class vessel.

i know - such explanations are unsatisfactory - but this was the line of thoughts that made us give it a lower cargo.

in the process of the developement, mjolnir then left me the choice between a lot more cargo ( anyway ) but a lot less agility on the GB - or to keep the highest agility of all gunboats in the entire game with only slightly more cargo.

and i decided for more agility - cause for me, it was the better deal. - the concept was more that of the eagle. - large size, but rather quick. its goal is to escape, not to fight.

about the list of gunboats.... - the BHG GS has 6 turrets, but 4 only 4 fire forwards - so the only difference is that the zoner GB fires 4 forwards and 4 backwards, while the BHG GS can fire 6 backwards - which isn t the usual view of a pilot of these vessels.

anyway - if everyone ( especially non zoners though, cause i daresay, zoners would always vote for more power - its human nature to vote for more power if it affects oneself... ) agree that the conference just needs 2 more turrets.... its just a second work. - all i need to do it to activate 2 more in the shiparch - and if we want 4 more turrets its 2 seconds, cause i just need to add another line. ( if we want more than 8 - i d have to add hardpoints which would be a minute work )
