hahaha... i love the whiskers!
she's a beaut
gaian gunboat - I_m_rdy - 06-28-2008
Oh that's a beauty! I want one!
Excellent work as always, Jinx.:)
BTW, NLH doesn't fly any Corsair Gunboats due to their low economy rating. We think that Corsair GBs use too much fuel than they really need.

That thing is bloody amazing.
Though, I rather think it could use more wing stuff, and a thinner hull...just so to please my aesthetics, its already going to be hell to fight...
gaian gunboat - Jinx - 06-28-2008
blehh - i was too quick on that one - already hardpointed and finalized it. - i m currently taking it out for a little flight.
gave it the same turrets like the kusari GB. - so its on the weaker side when it comes to firepower.... but i gave it a mine hardpoint.... you never know. - the kusari GB hitbox covers "most" of it - but the nose is bend upwards on the kusari GB - while this one is bend downwards.... imo, its no big deal, but you never know. - the kusari GB wings are MUCH bigger - so the rear part would be much larger than what you see. -
i don t think the NLH will get into fuel troubles - i assure you it runs on economic bio-oil at 1 drop / 5000 lightyears! - i would have attached a biodome to it to give all gaians their personal little garden - but the zoners would have complained when a corsair ally had suddenly developed mobile biodomes.

That ship is going in the game...
even if I have to track Igiss down and force him to do it at gun point!!!

It looks nice. I hope you are also working for a background as to how Gaians managed to design their own gunboat.
gaian gunboat - worldstrider - 06-28-2008
Excellent!
I think some faerie-like wings towards the front would have been a nice touch--and a figurehead near the bow, on top--like what's-his-face in the Titanic movie leaning over the bow with his arms out.
Aesthetics. I know there's all the game rationale about consistency, logic, etc. but each side having it's own unique ship helps players "bond" with their faction and reduces the desire to run out and get the other guys better stuff.
The mine dropper is a brilliant asset.
Love the new sig, by the way.
gaian gunboat - Generation - 06-28-2008
right background......
"it was designed for them by an engineer sympathetic to their cause"
good enough?? cause I want that ship, I want it real bad.
gaian gunboat - kingvaillant - 06-28-2008
nice, but if it was to be Gaian, make it a GS not GB. Something similar to the zoner GS. Since Gaians thinks alot of fuel cost and pollution

I don't rely know what the gains are about, but i em assuming environmentalists. This ship has encouraged me to go find out!!
ok now I em starting to spam, better stop.
