third ( and last ) civ GB attempt

[Jinx]

thats speculating about balance, which is too early to do. - even if your ideas are tempting.

in any case - i d love it to be non affiliated with zoners in any way - but instead with a pure core system cooperation. - firstly, that excludes zoners for the first time from a generic ship. secondly - the core market is actually supposed to be much larger than the edgeworld market.

when it comes to cruiser turrets - there is always the problem with hybrid systems. - cruiser weapons require a different energy to damage ratio than gunboat turrets - balancing it out always means to either compromise - or receive a rather unbalanced ship, - along with it being generic - that might easily become "unbalanced to the disadvantage". furthermore, such turrets might just be oversized for a ship of that size. - after all, cruisers are a lot larger than gunboats.

the ship is large - mainly, cause i d figure that a civilian would use this ship more like a "home" than a military crew. ( yes, when i made it, i had the movie "spaceballs" in mind )
