[POLL] Unique ships available to public

[Toga]

If it’s a ship that hasn’t been used by anyone in awhile it should be removed or made public. Not seeing these ships at all is a sign no one uses them.

[Ethan Vance]

I too want to do nothing but get all the nice things because they exist, and if I can't have them, nobody should.

[Wildkins]

the liberty recon cruiser isn't a unique ship it's just unfinished

though if it does get finished it's LSF only ree

Liberty Recon Cruiser (More corsair looking murmillo)
Horus
Persephone
Necrosis
Feanturi
Maybe Satsuma

There could be compromise by making these ships undockable solars ingame (some of them are just station models anyway, at least wiki says). So players will have the chance to see them but they will stay unique when it comes to flying them. Persephone(s) and Feanturi(s) could be put somewhere into deep Omicrons to guard or research as their infocard suggest, Necrosis be waiting for prey in some cloud and be deadly for approach, Satsuma can be parked somewhere in Kusari either as waiting for the flight or at some shipyard for maintenance, Horus and LibRecon cruiser doing their stuff somewhere in open space too.

By the way, I would love to see The Barge again (I suppose the model still exists somewhere). I know it can´t be back for player use, but imagine this huge beast parked near some mining station or mining field so you could admire it, knowing players were able to fly it in the past.

many of the ships listed are either broken (persephone, necrosis) or not designed for any practical use (satsuma, feanturi), or have not been brought up to speed with the mod in some way (lol jinx models, take your pick)

only things that are "unique" that i feel should be more openly available are SRP'd guns (VENOM, etc) or scidata items due to their presence actually affecting fights, as opposed to their absence changing basically nothing

i've seen the persephone in game and it's busted as hell, and would basically pile on more dev work just so the ship could be more available AND up to snuff because it was scarce at one point more than any real game-changing value it may have in its current state, however little

also we would probably be better off using confirmed dead as hell ships (necrosis) as inspiration for better models released for public use due to a visually interesting profile than just flat-out bringing them back, given the mod's current focus on updating models to not look like unwashed ass

no because the majority were SRP'd, paid for, and the work done by another player recently over the course of a year, and the rest are just imbalanced, ugly garbage that should just be deleted

I voted no.

However at least in the case of the Persephone and probably all the others they are harshly under used. I think they should be for the benefit of all players, even if seen by but not necessarily used or accessible by all.

My faction mates might not like me saying this, but how our Persephone is not used is a joke. It has 2 minutes logged on it this month. Looking at TAZ activity maybe theirs never got un-docked at all, I have no idea. And that's sort of my point, Most players only know these ships exist from old wiki entry's and forum posts but have never seen one in game.

Persephone (the actual persephone, not the phoenix one which is Hyperion) is actually a privately owned ship which flew as the TAZ flagship with permission when the owner was in the faction. Thus TAZ has no claim or control over the ship and when or how it's played.

On a side note, i was able to fly the Perse a few times a few years back and... it was a finicky pain in the arse to try and fly.
i like @Typrop 's idea about 'inspired by' derivatives that are simpler, lesser versions made for public use. Hell, with the right RP, time and co-operation from Phoenix someone could probably achieve getting a 'derived from' version of it... in theory. they'd need a modeller to make the model though.
