Piratish Barge ship thing

[Tenacity]

here's a textured version, might change some of the textures but I thought it looked pretty good =P

I'd say make it slow... as slow as a liner, if not slower. This thing should not be outmanuvering anything cruiser sized or smaller, to counterbalance the large number of guns. It's got 12 hardpoints - 2 are forward only (on the deck), the other 10 (split 5 on each side) have small firing arcs to the left and right, with maybe 15 degrees up or down. I'd say give it all gunboat turrets, and a cruiser powercore - trying to broadside someone with such small firing arcs would be like trying to shoot with nothing but a liberty cruiser forward gun all the time, so it should have enough power to repeatedly fire heavy gunboat weapons.

Any bombers that get close to this thing would tear it to pieces though... I'd probably give it a transport shield, 100-150k hull, and 3000-3500 cargo space.
