[Change] Conference Gunboat

[SnakThree]

Why not have both of them?

Why not make one as a Freelancer Gunboat - Conference, so it is 100% power with Freelancer ID. A little like the Serenity.

i am kinda surprised that the zoner gb is a topic at all - but the current suggestion is as follows:

- zoners get a fatter gunboat that fits their design better ( fatter, cause as commented - the current one might really be a little too flat )
- the current zoner GB could replace the montante ( bw gunboat ) placeholder or be dropped - because it also does not look like BW at all ( and although there is no dogma that each ship of a line must look similar regardless of class and size - it appears to be a thing among players )


for that purpose 2 models have been uploaded - the osprey ( which was mentioned in another thread ) and a zoner GB replace that share certain characteristics in terms of material/texture ( a bit .. )

Hi everyone, just a thought.

Who prefers the new

Conference Gunboat look to the Old one.

Old: http://discoverygc.com/wiki/images/archi...unship.png
New: http://discoverygc.com/wiki/images/c/cc/Z_gunship.png

I would personally like the old one to come back, it was a nice ship to fly and one of my favourite gunboats to see flying around. Was rather small and agile but very weak armor.

Thougths

So, after a bit of sleep, here are my suggestions.

Zoner gunboat and the argument for it:


Hathor - Replace the current model with the suggested "Old" gunboat

Leave the current Border Worlds gunboat alone. It looks more durable than the Conference, which is in keeping with the BW line.

The current Conference could be re-crafted to make a Researcher vessel, leaving the Corvo as a warship. Switch the Corvo label and description to this ship, and the Corvo can become an actual warship. Add 10k to the core, double the cargo hold and add a hyperspace equipment bay and you have a vehicle that can carry the hyperspace scanner (special sensors), but cannot jump due to power core limitations or scan by itself because of insufficient fuel carrying capacity. This would disassociate the Researcher functions from the Zoner ship line.

I ain't gonna let Hathor gonna get replaced with another inferior model. Take 4.86 model if you really care.

- Don't touch the BW Gunboats.


- Replace the current Order GB with the old one. Who's idea was to replace that, by the way? Because it was a bad idea, imho.

I like the old conference more than the new one. But the hathor was already replaced by an old model, the same time when the conference model was replaced, and it was per request cuz folks in order didn't like the GB then.

So what I would suggest is: bring the old conference back, as The Conference, and use the new one as a BW GB, that can be based in a zoner design...

[tothebonezone]

Yeah no, stop trying to replace the Hathor.

And the two other gunboats are poorly skinned low-res garbage anyway.

The current gunboat model looks more like it should be shrunk & slightly modified then turned into a fighter or bomber.

[SnakeLancerHaven]

Meh hathor got changed once and nobody liked it and it got changed back. Now dont touch it anymore pls.

Allthough, what if Spatial gets a lil bigger and becomes a civlian gunship instead? Now that would be cool.
