generic mercenary gunboat

[Jinx]

alright - since its apparent that many a people think that we really need a generic GB. - i have made a slightly revised version of the last proposition.



one of the main critizisms was the cockpit part with the armour plates blocking visual sight - that issue is now fixed. furthermore i tried to achieve a "bird-like" look, cause this GB would carry on the eagle series as a fully and 100% generic ship. - so it has a birds head, a beak - and stubby wings... ( well, alright, its not really a bird - but it slightly resembles one - with some good will )

that suggestion as well is meant to look very "basic". - it has thick and very visible straight armour plates. they are attached to the ship in a way that suggests that they can be replaced cheaply - instead of fixing full hull sections.

the whole ship is meant to look somewhat crude - a "first generation" gunboat. ( opposed to gunboats by factions that build those ships for generations already )

its also meant to be somewhat an armoured transport ( no, no more cargo space than normal )



i have decided to use a vertical cockpit window - that is quite unorthodox i admit - but its the only "fancy" thing about this very basic gunboat. - and it messes up the almost skulptured bird head by giving it a cyclops look.



edit:

its a bit shameful that the VHF is looking like a mighty eagle.... and the GB looks more like a plump turkey. - but that means ... there s room for more sophisticated revisions in the future =D
