guideship for the [Angel] faction

[Jinx]

why do i think it is beneficial to feature gunboat weapons and fighter weapons at the same time?

now, such an approach would be unbalancing for any real starship - but angels are rather tutors. - and it may be beneficial to explain and demonstrate the differences between warship weaponry ( gunboat turrets are basicly warship weapons like battleship or cruiser weapons ) - as well as demonstrating the use of fightermissiles, torpedos and fighterguns.

fightermissiles behave different to warship missiles for example, gunboat gunturrets are different to fighterguns - etc.

having all those aboard means that one single ship can show players all that is to know about weaponry and general pvp. - it can remain stationary and fire gunboat missiles teaching dodging of low tracking missiles, it can charge / joust them in a practice to show how the missiles danger changes when fired from a thrusting ship.

it can demontrate the use of fighterguns - as well as the use of gunboat guns - etc.

why must the ship be that large then?

its an aesthetical answer. - gunboat weapons have a specific size - and in order to leave the ship a certain aesthetic value and appearence, the ships size must be sized against the largest weapon. gunboat turrets are some 5 to 10 times larger than fighterguns - the ship needs to have a sufficient size - or it ll look like a few gunturrets flying with a ship - and not the other way round.
