Rescaling the Kusari Destroyer

[pipboy]

I know I ejected myself from this thread, but since there's actually a decent post I can respond to, I decided to post.

I scaled the Dessie up x1.6 in the end. So it's still slightly smaller than the Thresher.

x1.6

I've almost finished hardpointing it, I just have to place the running lights on it. I got distracted last night and didn't finish it.

Most of the hardpoints I've placed in the same places, but several hardpoints I've had to adjust. For example, the CM and one of the inactive turret hardpoints were in the same place, so I moved the turret. Also, the sideways turrets on top of the Kusari Dessie had opposite turning arcs, so the one on the left side could shoot forward on an angle while the one on the right could shoot backwards at an angle. I corrected it so they both shoot the same direction.

According to Mjolner and the pics you posted, it's now the exact same size as the Thresher.

What turrets are you talking about that shoot like that? I've never noticed anything like that on it previously, is that something new?

Also with the size increase it needs to have turrets that have free arcs to shoot all around now. Perhaps give 4-6 of it's turrets the ability to shoot to the rear. That's not horrible as the Thresher can shoot all 8 to the front and to the rear.

Regardless of all this, I do have a question. We're just going to change a ship now in game because someone made a thread on the forums and then made a new model? This sets a pretty messed up precedent. There are a lot of ships that are "unusual" according to many people, does this mean they can now just make a thread and a new model and get things changed to the way they want it? No offense Ashes, that's just a little off. Don't take this as a complaint, honestly I could see that this will make the Kusari Destroyer a lot more powerful, that isn't the issue. It's the whole principle of the thing that seems strange to me.
