Bulldog Replacement

[Flash™]

?

Make that bigger and we have a Bulldog Bomber.

EDIT: eaning Junkers should get the new Bulldog, what Lyth said, turning it into a Light VHF. And giving Junkers a Bomber which looks like the Bulldog? Would be nice, the collector is useless.

So I had a thought:
What if this ship is turned into a VHF?
Perhaps it could be converted like this:

• Powercore buffed to 10,400
  
• Armour stays the same at 9,400
  
• Turning speed stays the same
  
• Retains 1 Torp slot and 1 CD slot.
  
• Gains a VHF Shield hardpoint
  
• Gun hardpoints replaced to 4 class 9 and 2 class 8
  
• Other stats stay the same
  

Those stats are basically a better version of the current Loki and such. You're more likely to get a 2 class 9, 2 class 8 version with those stats (just like all the other CD+Torp HFs with a Class 10 Shield).

Junkers already have a VHF (albeit a bad one).

Could make the Collector something like a Templar clone.

Wat.

The Collector is a solid ship, and "Templar clone" describes it rather well as-is.

As for the model: the textures aren't very Junker-like in my book, and it'd look a little out of place in the line. Just like the Bulldog does right now, I suppose. A bit more yellow and gray, plus a healthy dose of visual wear&tear could fix that.
Other than that, looks neat. And most definitely PvP-capable.

Make it even more Junker-like maybe by replacing the blue with yellow?

Alright, how about the powercore stays at 9,000 then?

I'm not a balance dev. I'm just stating that if you look at the existing ships of the kind you're suggesting (Heavy Fighter, CD+Torp, VHF plant and VHF shield), you should expect a 4-gunner and not a 6-gunner. I also doubt that a power plant size drop will be considered a proper 'compensation' for two(!) more (high-class) guns.

A six-gunner with a cd and torp and a shape as thin as the Bulldog would be, potentially, incredibly powerful. Possibly too powerful. Anyways, if you genuinely want to discuss stats with someone who can give you helpful replies, I'd hit up Aerelm.

1,120 tris.

Next step would be exporting to CMP and doing hardpoints/SUR, but I'm unfortunately unfamiliar with the process. I could probably learn if someone were to guide me.

This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.

That is generally what happens when you see devs posting models in .cmp format.
