Smuggler 'SHARK' transport - Gunboat class

[Torvette]

Smuggler SHARK transport (Gunboat class)

The SHARK transport was first introduced into the black market as an experimental prototype designed by a conglomerate of high profile pirate and smuggler agencies. It soon became immensely popular among pirates, mercenaries and even freelancers. Popularly known as 'The transport with teeth', the SHARK is equipped with millitary-class weaponry to make sure the cargo reaches it's destination safely.


Ship attributes (According to me)

Hull strength : 92000
Weapon slots : 5 gunboat class
Cargo capacity : 2600
Shield : Transport shield

Note : It's still work in progress. I will continue working on it as I get time and update this post with new design pics.

That's it for now. Next time will post my updated design with textures. Tell me what you think about this ship concept.

1st I'd like to say, it looks odd. Sure it looks like a Shark, but still odd. Also, apart from the middle Section of it, there is nothing which reminds me of anything in Sirius. The Middle Section only looks a bit like a Rhino.

2nd Thing I noticed is that you again create a Ship out of nothing. I mean, there is no Origin from where it could come. If it's made by Smugglers, there is no known Group of Smugglers who could create their own Ship.

3rd Thing: Gunboat? No, more like a Freighter.

4th: You don't have to waste Time thinking about the Stats, that's what Developers are for.

5th: In my Opinion, the regular Developers Forum is a better Place for that, not the Ship Submission Forum, where completed Designs should be posted.

I agree with Schlurbi for the most part.

However, as stated its in development still as an idea. Just in the wrong forum.

The look is kind of like the Rhino meets Kusari dragon-style. In this case the wings are reversed, this could be explained easily for the need for mounting heavier weaponry. Thus having the full frame behind it, where the wings are just for aesthetics.

Also keep in mind that in the future there are going to be customized bases, if one is rich enough to buy this, a single line of ship is not really out of the question.

Gunboat? eh maybe a pair of gunboat turrets at most. The rest transport guns as normal. Thus it has the ability to do more damage, but it wouldn't be rediculous. 5 is simply a bit much.

There are other things I would offer as well, but a better idea I think is this.

Shark - Customized Gunboat
Reduced Armor
Drop a gun or 2
add up to 2000 cargo (maybe 500-1000 cargo per gun or per 1000 hull or the like)
2X Countermeasure dropper


this would be a bit easier and more believable if you ask me.

I really don't like the idea of having a Transport with Gunboat turrets (like 5 of them) and 4000 cargo space to be honest. I predict enhanced powertrading.

To me, a ship with "Shark" in its name, sounds more like a Priate ship more than a Smuggler ship. I bet I could make the model better, way better than what the topic post image is.
