Sounds about right.
Also, this ship is just :nyam:
P.S. It doesn't seem like a heavy gb, more like a corvette.
like many people I at first thought it was an ugly ass box. but now I like it, I think you're on to something with it. I understand the argument for being a gunboat and a transport.
With its size, I think it is better off being a transport, as it has more usefulness. who wants a "general" ship for exploring that can be destroyed by gunboats smaller than it or a cruiser larger than it? I think there is more of gap in the whole gunboat/strong general ship class than in the transport area for civilian ships, but if it doesn't have strong combat ability then I think it would be better off in the transport space in terms of sheer gameplay relevance and usefulnes.
I like the original length more. I think that added length messes with the lines and style of the ship and makes it more like a capital ship.
I like it! nice job! fantastic work! I was looking for something like this and had that bigass miner thing on java and the kusari explorer in mind. but the cargo holds on those vessels are small like I was talking about previously.
I think it's a departure from the other civilian ships and that's both a good and a bad thing. would need a decent infocard to match it.
If I had any critiques I'd say take away that added length and hold another poll. And also try without changing it too much (textures or fins? or like that) to bring it more in line with the startracker line, the new civilian line, or rheinland ship.
once again this is a fantastic job nice work.
so I recently started exploring Coronado. I must say you're all doing a wonderful job.
so I recently started exploring Koeln. I must say you're all doing an amazing job.
some time ago I explored Rousillon. Impressive. Particularly the music on the planet that was a nice surprise.
so I recently started exploring Omega-55. LOL... NOMADS. LOTS AND LOTS OF NOMADS. SHOOTING THINGS. I GOT THE HELL OUT OF THERE. (and I was thinking, jeez I can't remember what that one was from the news. I hope I don't run into a nomad system)
recently started exploring Omega-41. what did you guys do to the star? that new effect there, that's impressive.
Current explorer is an import anyway. I like this model, very civilian-esque. The brick shape only helps its case. It's got my support, if only to clear out the fugly import we have now.
Edit: My mistake, it's the Spatial that's the import. The two just look a lot alike.
He's talking about the Ahoudori not the Spatial. And OP, the Ahoudori is already a heavy Gunboat (and a good looking heavy gb at that), it does not need to be heavier.
Like the initial idea, personally I feel there could be a little more distinction of shape, maybe a few more windows and a distinct bridge, it is an exploration ship after all and visual observations are a vital part of that.
