The Junker Salvager...?

[Jinx]

if it resembles zoner ships - its certainly not meant to be like that ( chronologically, it would be the other way round - caues it was made before the zoner ships )

its the only ship with custom skins i made and it was quite a bugger. - but the main idea is that:

- a SIMPLE platform ... more of a rig as a frame
- armour plating shielding made out of multiple layers of old and salvaged plates around it
- a scrapping / processing unit to allow scrap to be "chewed" to smaller bits and stored
- a large baydoor on the bottom for "whole" parts that are more valuable undamaged
- a random asortment of tools and stuff on the rig to represent how that ship is so much custom and to little a production from the line
- engines that look like they can allow maximum agility on the most simples level, so they re just able to rotate the ship ( firefly like )

the ship is meant to look shabby but yet sturdy. - on the first glance, one ought to be revolted by the uglyness and "simplicity" of the design... just to see that its not simple at all, but genuine and optimal for the purpose ( optimal = best suited )

no faction has a ship that is better suited for harvesting scrap fields, not even the advanced liberty, - the rust and the random platings are a necessity, a matter of efficiency - but also a cloak. simpler folks in sirius will see the rust and the nailed down platings and they will regard this ship as the making of something "redneck like" ( to use a common image )


by the lore, people would be fatally surprised to find a larger powercore on such a ship - a HUGE cargobay ... and capital class turrets. - features no other ship in sirius offers - which underlines the engeneering quality of junkers ... and their deceptiveness.


naturally - each salvager would look different - only thats not possible due to the game mechanics... so there you are. a salvager is meant to be something like a family heirloom. its precious - a dusty jewel to be passed on to the next generation - the origin of a families wealth. not a showcase ship - cause that would damage the junkers repuation, their qualities lay within - but on the outside, they re just scrap diggers.
