Gunboat thoughts...

[Aline]

I guess BD has all the caps since they where once part of the official house.

The ideas the guy of pie and myself have been tossing around would primarily move the Gaian GS' model to a future GC GS, while replacing the Claymore with something equally Gaian. Personally, I like the idea of a Gunboat/Transport hybrid of some sort, like the Salvager or, to a lesser degree, the Yacht; The exception being it would be more gunboatish than a Salvager but less transportish. At the same time, this would allow a chance to make other matching ships, in theory, with all the same style.

Of course, making a Gaianish Starblazer based on the current model is also fine by me. Especially if the GC had a future Gunship based on their Bomber model.

well, if GC want a gunboat or something... I still have this unused model...

WHAT IS THE POINT. I still don't see how this would do anything but hurt the Gaians by giving us a less-attractive and less-combat-capable ship, and giving our pride and joy as technicians to the GC.

Leave my Gunship alone.

Quick comment - we thought that Panzer was the Leader, Swift. -Agmen

Which Dreadnought was that?

One of your nine.

The Star Shepherd could still be attractive, and nobody said it wouldn't be combat capable. Indeed, it'd probably be built like a brick latrine to absorb as much enemy fire as it liked, and be able to dish out enough of its own to severely punish anyone who dared to attack it, in the true Bretonian tradition.

EDIT: Much like a prettier Corsair Lunchbox, come to think of it.

EDIT: [12:28:31 AM] Brad {Ktayn}: I like the idea of a heavy gunboat with a decent capacity hold
[12:28:57 AM] Brad {Ktayn}: maybe as a drawback, due to the design, the guns would have limited fire range
[12:29:33 AM] Brad {Ktayn}: ooh, make it like Bretonian ships - strafes well but turns slow, then give it lots of forward firepower, less rearfire, and decent cargo

^ More ideas.

...or we could just keep things the way we are. It sounds to me like you guys just want the model, tbh.

I just think the model goes very well with the GC shipline. That, and an animal-rescue ship seems more Gaiany than the Claymore.

Sorry Yue, but that model doesn't work for me. Whenever I see it, horrible images come to my mind... namely a dog trying to hump something...:huh:

[pipboy]

And why would a relatively small factions like the GC and FA get a gun boat and the Hogosha not get one? It was my understanding that the smaller "pirate" factions wouldn't get gunboats and they were even removed from our ID's to keep it that way. The only way we can get one as FA or Hogosha is with the guard ID.

To be honest I don't see how the GC got the resources to make a battleship fully operational (I get some of the systems, but fully?) never mind building gunboats. They are a major extremist faction in Kusari that is has no real friends, not even the Blood Dragons care for them much.
