now - i could do it all by myself, but i m a little lazy ( saying anything else would probably be a lie )
what i d like to know is:
which ships are currently so ugly that they require a replacement badly? ( and that ONLY concerns imports please )
and since i hardly know all the ID cards - maybe someone that uses them or knows them can also tell me the lore / background about them - so a new replacement can be crafted without disrupting the RP of the existing pilots ( too much ).
that concerns pure imports and of course the homeworld ships. - currently i have trouble locating them, cause they often identify as different ships ( like mafic = renzu corp? = i think taidan... )
i also know that such lists were made before. - but maybe they re outdated....
important is that its described briefly what these ships are about. - like the mafic being a ship associated with mining ( isn t it? )
Bulldog. 'Tis uglier. I feel reluctant to mention it tho 'cause I'm sure that the moment it gets a new model the stats will be messed with and the ship will be ruined.
whats needed is not so much like " (__insertnamehere__) is ugly"
but rather " (__insertnamehere__) needs a replace, its meant to be a heavy interceptorght mining craft/sleek superiotity fighter/fat and slow shuttlecraft... etc."
so what i need most is main characteristics on which to base a design on.
Right then,
The Ki could really use a replacement, as it currently looks nothing like what its infocard says it is.
Quote:Initially marketed as an high atmosphere stuntcraft for Kusarian youth rich enough to enjoy such sport, simple refinements quickly adapted the craft to be classified space worthy, so as to allow even richer Kusarian youth to splatter themselves amongst asteroids rather than city streets. Wildly fast with a powerplant that defies her light stature, the Ki serves as an excellent high end space superiority vessel for those pilots whom enjoy a life of risk.
It is described as a high atmosphere stuntcraft for rich youngsters. Now, while I generally dislike spaceship designs with wings, since this was originally disigned as a high-speed stunt aeroplane, it really needs wings. And the assymetrical design just doesn't fit for a craft that needs to fly through an atmosphere. Also, it said it was designed for the rich youth, so adding a "boy racer" feel, in the form of perhaps spoilers, fins and go-faster stripes, might fit well.
KI - Needs to be replaced with a ship that looks like it can fly in the atmosphere and it's very agile. Also, It needs to look like a luxury sport-ship (e.g. Bugatti or something like this) because in it's description it says it is for rich young kusarians...
Civilian Shuttle needs a "airship" look because it evolved from an atmosphere shuttle.
Basalt "is well equipped to scout ahead of heavier craft to find the richest deposits of mineral ore". So... make it look strong but it's not really a mining ship... it's more like an "analyzer".
Gitano Give it a more Junkerish look. Light fighter that is strong and agile to survive in junk fields...
Saishi is a ship that even a perosn of the medium class can buy. It sacrifices armor for agility. It needs to look light and unarmored. And not expensive.
Touketsu is a short range well armored and well equipped interceptor.
DO NOT TOUCH THE WASUPU!!!!!
Mafic should be replced with a ship that is VERY well armored. It's main purpose is to search for mining fields and be ready to defend itself against any danger. It also should be able to carry 2 small crews. Must look bulky:P
Bull Dog should resemble the Gitano but with a better armor. Also... the junkers consider this ship to be 'flying bombs'.
Marauder should be replaced with a Heavy interceptor with somehow an OLD look.
Dacite should be VERY heavy armored and with an industrial look... also, some mining instruments shouldn't look bad on this ship.
Raven's Talon needs to be replaced with a ship that follows the IMG design/textures of the Charon/Arrow.
Anki - well armored freighter that is mostly used to transport electronics. Also, in the wiki description it says that unlawful groups are using it for it's fire power.
Civilian freighter should be replaced with a model that looks impenetrable by scanners. it is used by corporations to steal economic secrets from one another.
Garanchou should be replaced with a smull but well armored freighter that is used by the GMG to transport different gases through the crow nebula.
X-Shuttle should be replaced with a model that has some big fuel tanks and can explore different planets with different atmospheres. So it also has to look strong.
Spatial should be replaced with a massive model that has enough cargo space to do this: "Capable of sustained flight beyond a system's heliosphere to adjacent systems, the spatial possess he cold sleep and life support systems to maintain up to five persons for years of sustained voyaging." STRONG, BIG, some antennas would fit.
