gaian GB revision

[Taneru]

I love how people are completely ignoring a certain thread, and are instead going on about balance and who gets what here.


Right, what I see when I look at this is a fusion of the Yacht and the Kusari gunboat. It has the underside fin and general sloping shape of the Yacht, and the huge fins of thew Kusari Gunboat(Which, in my opinion, needs a proper name).

The Yacht resemblance is good, in my opinion. The Gaians' main enemy is OS&C, so it is not unthinkable that they would be stealing design elements from OS&C ships, to the extent that if they ever got a cruiser of their own for some reason(It is not outside the realm of possibility, regardless of naysayers' opinions), it is my opinion that is should resemble the Luxury Liner.

The Kusari resemblance, though, I'm not sure about. The Gaians are indeed closer to Kusari than most Bretonian factions, and that may very well have influenced their ship designs. However, I don't think the Gaians should be flying ships that are so openly resembling the ships of their nation's current enemies, especially if they want to continue to try to win the support of the public.

Now, mind you, I do love the fins. They're very well done, and I don't think you should remove them, just alter them a bit. Why not have them extending out from the little turret mount 'winglets' near the engines, or perhaps coming down from the underslung fin like a sail. That way, they could be folded up in combat to prevent them from being damaged, and then extended later.


Something like the scorpionfish, Deadly, and beautiful at the same time. A design taken from nature, to defend nature.
