Symposium - Zoner (Civilian) Armed Transport

[reisiger_duke]

It doesn't strike me as a luxury passenger transport as some others have said, mainly due to the lack of windows all over the place, but I do see it as a very good 'mobile lab' of sorts.

I'd love to see a dedicated 'borderworlds-capable corporate research vessel', and I'd like to add my biased opinion that it would be great as a cryer research ship.

What does the engine area look like?

I find it odd that some folks mistake the cargo-pods for passenger-room... I wonder how VIP's must feel in a tanker...:crazy:


And no... this is definitely neither a passenger liner nor a research vessel. It's a container transport designed to slip through asteroid fields while it's cargopods are protected by the armor wings.

The big windows are there to make the living and working quarters comfortable enough, as this ship would travel around the Border and Edge Worlds, where landing on a planet where you can freely go and relax is somewhat... limited. Other parts are used for the crew (dining hall, kitchen, medical bay, food supplies, air and water tanks, recycling systems, etc.)

The engine part is sort of going to look similar to the Conference GB's engine: A single big exhaust shielded by two 'wings'.

I'm currently not happy with it at all... as so far I'm still experimenting with it. I'll definitely add the powerplants the Conference has tho.



It could work as a BWT replacement, given someone knows how to convert SketchUp's format (Collada *.dae or Google Earth *.kmz) into something usable by Freelancer :unsure:


And as for those "Yet another Zoner vessel?!" comments... go spend your own free and unpaid time on designing a ship just for fun... or plain keep your porkholes shut :angry:
