[closed] Shipline design survey: Zoner shipline

[Thyrzul]

Honestly, I would think Zoners would be building Utilitarian / Exploration ships other than Battleships / Juggernaught. They are not creating war to have heavy aresenal assets in their hands.

My response when he asked around on Discord:

Then what do you think Zoner ships should look like (SHF, GB, Cr, BS, Colony ship, Whale)?

Endurant, but harmless.

So make the Zoners even easier to control? I'm sure everyone else will love that.

For now the optimal solution seems to be making Aquilon into proper warship (BS for people who want to farm nomads, for instance), and Neph into proper colony ship (Super liner-like thing, like heavier Bustard, for people who want to RP a colony ship).

Further regulation could be made with ID/IFF if the need arises, I believe.

I am not making ships for FL anymore, I am making my own space game instead:

Maybe something like full destroyer turrets or full light battleship turrets.

Just remove all four heavy turret hardpoints and add one more primary and six secondaries. One to one for primary, and two to one for secondaries.

This in my opinion feels like a good solution to the argument of people finding nephs farming nomads to be RP breaking.
The second part about the IFF and ID are in my opinion not needed.

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.

Better to keep means of Nephilim and defensive capabilities the same. Just like in vanilla intro colony ships managed to break though Coalition blockade, colony ship and its defensive capabilities is a vital part of survival. And same goes for Zoner Nephilims, they are supposed to be powerful and well armored against Nomads, who's not rare to be seen in Omicrons.

+1, just make it like the carriers were back in the day as last resort

Edit: but I'd rather have my heavies if possible

We are discussing a colony ship design for randoms living at the edge of civilized space, not a sleeper ship design for the major nations/houses. Keep that in mind.
