Bretonia Gunship

[color=#000000]I == Background ==

Bretonia Gunship Info Card: The gunship class is a product of the Royal Bretonia Navy, created primary for anti-fighter duty.

II == Gunship Possible Stats ==

Considering the ship's size, weapons and maneuverability expectations the only stats Jinx and I could propose for the ship are: 6 guns (with strange arcs), ~ 90-95k armor and 400,000 power core but Balance Devs oppion is necessary as always.

Bretonia Ship Line Comparison

Comparison/Similarities with the Destroyer

V == 3D model viewer (by jinx) ==

VI == Suggestions ==

1. Original look - following the bretonia ship line (bridge, body, engines, weapon platform)
2. Standart name containing ship class with no nicknames.
3. Standart info card, similar to the remaining three bretonia cards.
4. From really a lot of possible hardpoint position the below image represent the one we both agreed to be most suitable and less broken, due to the fact bretonia "ship platforms" can offer strange weapon arcs (for example the bretonia destroyer)

Special thanks to Jinx for fixing the bretonia capital ships textures by turning them in to UV and making the proper texturing of the gunship with the original colors !
Special thanks to Aeternus Doloe for giving us "light green" to work on this project with possible future inclusion in disco.

To be honest, Bretonia has no need for a Light GB. Their current one absolutely ruins Fighters and Bombers, even more so than other Gunboats. Their turrets mixed with the massive core and excellent arcs means it's just a hedgehog of turretfire.

I disapprove the model of low quality texture job.
Edit: I`d say rather insufficient than low.

I wouldn't be against it, since Bretonia has the least-loved shipline of any of the houses. Is there a model of it already done though or is it -just- concept art?

Also I would like to know if LOD1 model has been done.

Make sure that Jinx did his best to use standart capital ships textures from the vanila, which are the only "broken" in the entire freelancer modding. He did some tricks of his own to texture that in the proper way.
Another question is are you fan to the bretonia textures? I am sure the answer is no, but the current ones looks far more "heavy" and suitable on the gunship instead if Jinx used "templar skin". I assure you of that.

To be honest, Bretonia has no need for a Light GB. Their current one absolutely ruins Fighters and Bombers, even more so than other Gunboats. Their turrets mixed with the massive core and excellent arcs means it's just a hedgehog of turretfire.

Bretonia never had a real active gunboat similar to kusari/rheinlandberty/ - standart Houses. Their gunboat is classified as very light cruiser (vanila one carry only 2 battle razors and 1 defense gun).

For 3 years a lot of people, part from all official factions of bretonia and the indies, were saying that the bretonia gunboat is outdated and underpowered. In 4.86 most of the elements were buffed: armor, damage for the guns, forward gun damage, but the general weakness remains - the huge size.

With no doubt the bretonia gunboat can own any other gunboat 1v1 but in real massive battle its the first to fall.

- Lore RP reason: for bretonia to build these ships are: because they are cheap, because they are fast to be build, because they are primary anti snub - suitable to take care of multiple GRN snubs, and an excellent support ship for the bretonia heavy gunboat.
-OORP reasons: bretonia never received anything added in their ship line for the simple reasons most of the ships are multi purpose. Bretonia dont need for example: cruisers, battlcruisers, SHF or carriers but a ship that can support what they still have. The only broken element so far is the duty to take down fighters and fight them for a longer time - the gunship may do the job right.

I am definetly up for it in RP Lore bretonia needs more lighter Gunboat to counter enemy fighters and intecept bombers and as I can see its small cheap and easy to build by the already war damaged Bretonia. So I vote yes I am totally up for it. About damn time bretonia received some attention towards its capital line.

surround view without skinning

since i use only a freeware program - thats the best that i can do with the bret skins that are rather a mess from my point of view. the ship has no lod atm, but i ll check if the vanilla textures actually come with lod information.

whats up to discussion is mainly the design as is and how it fits into the royal army shipline.
