Corsair Battleship conceptual ideas - Curios - 01-22-2010
Well.. all know that 'sairs are using order battleship and have no their own, only dreadnought. I though, if 'Sairs are the best ship builders why they using that Osiris battleship? Osiris is light covert ops ship, probably its not the best solution in open war like OC and Bret wars that exist.
Because im know nothing about 3D moddeling im just throwing this idea with some content included:
This is Piton from X3 universe.

Im imaging the corsair battleship is somewhere between legate and osiris, heavier\bigger then osiris and with one or two additional turrets.
Ideas?

Yum, and yum. You could kill a starflea and a half with that thing.

No imports kaypleasethanks.
Osiris works fine, Corsairs modify theirs anyway.
And no trolls

They have the Dreadnought.
Enough said.

Outcasts have their Sarissa, lets give people a choice. Probably fleet its now only dreadnoughts.
Its really weird, Osiris is order ship, lets leave it to them.

about the proposed design-
The shape and general build doesn't exactly seem to fit into the rest of the corsair ships, not to mention the texture (color and style) doesnt match freelancer either. if it were to be added, you'd have to find someone to texture and hitbox it for freeelancer, not to mention hardpoint it, and make sure that its not copyrighted, and that you can actually use the model for other games/mods etc.
about the concept-
i dont see any reason for the corsairs to get another battleship. they have the heavy dreadnoughts, and then they have the "lower grade" (in RP terms that is) osiris light battleship hull customized to fit the corsair nation, both of which do their job, and rather thoroughly at that. IF however, the corsairs DO get a new battleship to add to their fleet, they will have to sacrifice the osiris altogether, also meaning that absolutely no sharing of any corsair or order tech between the two factions (all ships/equipment counted). in oorp terms, there is no faction with 3 battleships to call their own. (liberty has a carrier and dreadnought. outcasts have a battleship and dreadnought. zoners have a juggernaut and carrier (im pretty sure the BSG was made as an IMG ship and the BSG_adv became the carrier [im using older model names because thats best how i remember them pre 4.85]). furthermore, i would think that the corsair battleship (if made) mimics the outcast battleships in terms of stats, size, agility etc. after all, you'd think that the corsairs war analysts would try and counter their main enemy's battleship by using it for reference/inspiration/ideas whilst creating their own design.
also, while the osiris is considered a light recon battleship in RP, stats wise and actual PVP wise, its a rather mean little ship that can really pack alot of punch.

I put that screens for example, i have no model of that ship anyway. As i say before, take a look at situation: wa have ships, but they are used rarely just if their hull strength is weaker then dread. Osiris is too small and Legate is too big but aha! a lot of hit points! lets all use legates! Osiris is nearly forbidden.
// And this is not additional one, but replacement of existence. lets leave all old allready boughtd osirises, but no new without order permission (if osiris will remains only in Omicron 100 Shipyard)
Corsair Battleship conceptual ideas - frozen - 01-22-2010
wrong. people who actually know how to use an osiris properly will prefer it over the legate, because it has a higher chance of surviving. i myself prefer the osiris over the legate (and pretty much every other battleship except the liberty dreadnought, which imo is an osiris on steroids, and thus another favorite of mine), and ive survived alot of times because of its ability to dodge better than the legate.

I could kill a Legate in an Osiris, then go on to kill a second Legate in my Osiris.
Osiris is a good ship.
Corsair Battleship conceptual ideas - Montezuma/Kukulcan - 01-22-2010
If you know how to fly it, the Osiris can take down a Juggernaut, so it is not a case of it being underpowered, which it most certainly is not.
As for replacing it with a new model, i think that the ammount of work it would entail for the devs would make it a pointless fix to a problem that is not there.
The current Osiris is fine as it is, there are many ships in more desperate need of a remodel than it. Plus, it has a rather large ammount of RP background, and to erase that would be stupid IMO.
