"Procurator" Battleship Model

[Jinx]

the model itself looks good, but the intention about it is at least to be discussed.

those that say "osiris is order" should know ( although i take it that most already know ) that the osiris is ... in the light of discovery history MORE a corsair battleship than an order battleship. - the order stole it and used its prototype first alright, but the corsairs mass produced it, allowing the order to deploy multiple osiris class recon battleships - along with allowing themselves to deploy them. - making the ship at the very least a "shared project" and when looked into it closely - rather a corsair battleship.

other than that - the corsairs also do have their own battleship, the dreadnought ( which is nothing but a different name for a battleship in terms of shipclasses - at least in disco ) - the osiris remains as an interlink between the corsairs and the order, a reminder that those two factions share some history that is undeniably linking them as allies - at least allies of necessity in the past.



is it logical that the corsairs might modify the original osiris? - probably. - but the main idea of the osiris, its wedge-like cylinder, should remain.

now the presented model looks like something the corsairs "may" have come up with - after serious modifications. - the slim line, submarine structure etc, varies greatly from the wide and spikey design of their own dreadnought, giving the ship its own very distinct appearence. - it just "may" be an offspring of the osiris frame - but then again.... it may not be, cause it really is different.

personally - i think its a good replacement, depending on the texture job which is not done yet. - what one should be aware about is that the osiris is a vanilla ship - and cause its an "original" ship - it features some aspects that a custom ship is hard to get.

special abilities like an increased reverse speed, small and slim lines combined with superior nimbleness is something a real "custom" ship needs to fight for the hard way.

ships like the bretonian battleship, the rheinland battleship, lib-dreadnought or osiris are easily about the best battleships available. - no custom ship would gain comparable stats - so making a custom ship like that will most likely result in a slight "nerf" of the ships abilities, a nerf that puts the ship "into balance" with other custom ships.
