Symposium - Zoner (Civilian) Armed Transport

[reisiger_duke]

I was just saying, and having been a zoner, that it may fit in better elsewhere, or focus the concept/RP behind it further.

The RP focus behind it is as already stated. A container transport able to roam around the Border and Edge Worlds with enough room for the crew, life support, etc. for long trips, while the cargopods can be replaced with new ones very fast, thus reducing the time needed to stay at any one station/planet to swap cargo.

Incase it would become a feasible BWT replacement/update, then perhaps an update to a shape inspired by both the old and new Conference Gunboat would be the origin.

As Cryer and OSI are corporate partners, I believe you or Mr. Nichols were on the board of directors, would joint project be feasible? Cryer is rich enough to commission shiplines, currently they're forced to adapt current vessels to make them appropriate for liquid, sterile, and possibly frozen goods (thus climate control system/unusual shaped containers/dampers would be required). So it makes sense they'd want a vessel designed with their needs in mind, and when it comes to radiation/corona/other dangers in the edge worlds who better to ask than the Zoners.

I certainly ain't on Cryer's board of directors. No clue if Sam was when he still was playing.... doubt it tho. Same about being "corporate partners"... first time I hear something like that. :mellow:

I'm not saying make it ungeneric, I'm not saying that others can't buy it or use it from the Zoners. Keep it a Zoner vessel, however, a mention of how it suits our needs and was commissioned by us would be welcome, and support the reasoning why such a vessel would be necessary. Corporations are hugely undeveloped in this mod, whilst militaries, and in particular the zoners and IMG have romped away with a lot of power and bases. Can corporations get some bonuses?

Well, should some experienced designer manage to make use of the model and implement it... well then why not?

I never intended for this to be a Zoner-Only ship, but a Zoner designed civilian ship, available to anyone... who can affort it :P

Zoners do make quite some money by selling assembled ships on their bases... :crazy:
