Lake Huron Super Carrier

[frozen]

The general rule of thumb for freelancer seems to be "the smaller and more agile, the better". normally, in most cases, this is proven time and time again, but there -are- many situations where "bigger" is better. for example, if RM bs was to come 1k close to a lib dread, it can easily tank the damage whilst dishing out superior amount of firepower, ending up winning, or how a barghest (super heavy bomber) dominates when it comes to taking down caps fast, but how it gets pwnt if a you throw fighter escorts into the equation (bear in mind, im not taking into consideration any godly pilots, everyone is equally skilled in this example), and something like a falcata would have more survivability chances, allowing to dish out more damage over time.

the Lib dread is actually kinda small for its medium plant (but its a vanilla ship, so hasnt been touched/modified in terms of size etc, same for the dunkirk).

while this model is vastly superior than most models ive seen, i agree with the general sentiment that it looks alot like a lib dread on steroids. whilst in terms of maintaining that "liberty look" you get 100/100, im struggling to find something unique in this, and thus warrant a model replace for the carrier. the current one, regardless of quality, is a completely different design than the lib dread, something i like. what i suggested to luis, perhaps use something like that- asymmetrical design, 1 launch tube on one side only)?

carriers, dreadnoughts, juggernauts, battleships, just different names for the same thing. no matter what you want to RP it, the fact remains is it will be one of three options- light, medium, or heavy class battleship (difference is the powercore/armor etc). so with that in mind, the balance needs to be done accordingly.
