How about a Corsair kitchen ship? Complete with slave pens so dinner is always fresh!

Needed, to the best of my understanding, would be a healthy set of 5000 unit transports. One per house to supplement the good times Adv. Train.
Beyond that my desires would rest solely in refurbishing some of the eyesores we currently have, such as the remaining Homeworld shipline (Taiidan bomber having already been given exceptional loving by Jinx).
I've ideas aplenty for the transports... Well, except for Rheinland... And my idea of Bretonia is basically a dirigible... And the Libertonian transport probably'd look lame outside of my head... But the Kusarian one would be cool maybe!

Kusari needs a battlecruiser to fill the size and firepower gap between the tiny destroyer with almost no backward guns and huge BS. Something along new Liberty BC lines that allows to fire equal number of turrets in most directions and can fire bs guns backwards, while not having a thruster.

As for Bretonia... they have a full fighter/bomber line so it is a transport or a capital ship since Igiss said no the more SHF I think.
How about a Torpedo/SN/frontal cannon/etc Cruiser? something like the LN Cruiser, but with 2 frontal gun and not a lot of defense and turning. its main goal would be to destroy cruiser and up...but it would need escort... although, I dunno if the ship would be really usefull in the Bret vs. Kusa war :S

hm, torpedoe boat might be interesting. Although, arent capital missile doing exactly that in next version?
Faction-unique ships - JIVA - 11-25-2008
yes they are ...
and NO SN or anything laucher for capships - cause those weapons are balanced towards the fighter class abilities and power - not for the capital ships powerplants. - a cruiser able to even fire only 1 SN could do that without any noticable powerloss and since its not an ammo based weapon, it would spam it ( and 138k dam is too much to be spammed )

heh. I'd be thinking for an interceptor ship with a mix of gunboat weapons and fighter missile guns for a torpedoe boat. unfortunately, we cant make it so the ship can -only- equip missile guns, cant we?
it could be interesting. probably a decent ship but costly to maintain, what with all the ammo to buy.

The Bretonians mass produce Gunboats as a standard patrol ship. They ought to be specialists at Gunboats by now and have tried mmodified versions of the original design.
How's about an elite Gunboat for players to represent them being a cut above the average NPC Gunboat?

You could have it come with weapons pre-installed...

Right. and any name to suggest for a special bretonian vessel?
