Design Competition

[michiyl]

I think the first ship made by Luis is a good mix of Rheinland and SCRA design which might be a possible way to go due to the fact that many SCRA members are coming from Rheinland (and Bretonia, as it is stated in the wiki).
It looks like a bad tempered shark and I could bet that the "wings" can be used to destroy some hapless stations or cruise disrupted trains!
But somehow it does not have the right SCRA Cruiser feeling ...

And that's why I voted for Dart-Stalker's entry, the remodeld Coalition Cruiser!

It's not the original from the Freelancer intro (they had a somewhat higher "engine part") but everyone who played Freelancer has seen them bringing the end to the Alliance right after the installation!
Of course, SCRA develops new types of ships and equipment in Sirius, so they can not use the "old stuff". However, the design is an other element, it can be "recycled" to bring the fear of being crushed and destroyed with pure brute force as the Coalition enemies were some 800 years ago!
I can imagine how proud I would be if I can get my hands on THAT ship and maybe even apologize if I stand in the way and get killed by such a beautiful and mean warship!

A Good Thought?
Maybe Luis' cruiser can be resized to a decent gunboat-type vessel? Maybe having the now helicopter-like "Storm" gunboat as a light version and the "Trotzky" class as a heavy version of SCRA gunboats as it is done with the Rheinland bombers Bergelmir and Fafnir? But I know, this thread is not about THAT!;)
