Deja vu again (see above).
Here's he stats comparison (taken from combined) to a Spatial which is a close match and throwing away cargo space to keep the camara maneuverability which makes up for less potential firepower than the spatial (no class 10 guns, missiles, mines or a torp for example):
HULL(BLACK RHINO/SPATIAL)
31,000/29,600
CARGO
225(-1,260)/180
POWER
27,400/39,130
RECHARGE
2,735/2,350
BATS-BOTS
205/270
PRICE
3,783,770/4,298,380
Black Rhino has 12x class 5 turrets + CD & 2x CM.
Spatial has 4x class 10 guns, 2x class 9 and 3x class 5 turrets plus 2x M and CDT & CM.

What an inventive concept!
It doesnt need a Liberty logo on the side- the style and texture should be enough to identify it as Liberty Civilian.

I do understand that civilians needs escort ships. Mostly a few fighters. Perhaps a few bombers to take pirate gunboats. But... why do civilian would need a whole warship. It do not make enougth sense in RP, neither who da hell would let for a civilian to have a warship?
Like in real world, Civilians mostly can buy guns, which are selled for self-protection or hunting. But to gain access to gun like AK-47 is almost impossible for a civilian. Shouldnt it be the same with the GB here?

Looks like that weird thing of Star Wars, one of those racers, whatever there called, that someone uses, a child uses (i'm not much of a Star Wars fan).
I absolutely love the look of the ship, can you give the suggested stats in the first post?
The "Black Rhino" - jdftheman - 07-05-2009
I don't like it, it just looks to flimsy and weak to be given that much armor. Also the concept of putting things together fits junkers more than liberty lawfulls, so i personally would hate to see a thing like this appear in the mod

It does look... odd so to say. And very unique.

Thats trully an epic ship. Reminds me of the Trident somewhat ...
But yea , it would be kinda funny that Libertys SHF-type-thing came from DSE rather than the military.
SHF- Super Heavy Freighter ? Hehehe. Get that thing on , I want one.
@where did it ran: It aint exactly a warship , more like a freighter with a load of guns attached. If you look at the stats you would understand , it aint exactly a "AK47" thing , more like having 4 hands to hold pistols.

Shouldnt it be the same with the GB here?Using the AK 47 as an example wasn't a particularly good idea. It's one of the easiest weapons to get on the black market. Maybe you can't buy them in Britain or America, or anywhere else like that, but trek out to the Middle East or Russia and I've heard they're everywhere. I suppose it'd be more like getting an SA80 A2, which is what the British Army uses.
As for the ship itself, I'm morally opposed to more Libertonian ships, even if they are civilian.:P

I love the Rhino but in Disco its not a long-used ship. THe camara is definitely "not Freelancerish" in design but is a brilliant concept and I would hope its never taken out. The one pice texture oon it is outstanding--someone did a great job. There also isn't a "gunship" for Liberty or civilian use. It could be used by the police, house corporations for local, in-system escort: "This is DSE! I am under attack!"..."Roger--dispatching two black rhinos to your position. Hang in there!". Could also be used by local "escort services" or mercs.
The other thing I like is it isn't an uber-pawnzor vessel. Pretty modest. I'd consider less hull to keep the agility. And it is unique looking.
Since there isn't a civilian gunship, it fits that role well. It could patrol the mining cloud in Pennsylvania and mine too. I'll update it sometime later today.
