Harvester SHF - sovereign - 08-03-2008
Its a Homeworld import Igiss had made for the mod :angry2: and so the model probably won't be going anywhere, but like all the other Homeworld imports anyone can use it. For snub ships fighting capitals, hitbox and dodging (strafe is your friend) matter more than hull does by a long shot- either you get hit and die, or can't get hit and live. I haven't tested it against capital ships but my guess is that it would be decently effective against cruisers on up where regen is key, while not being as effective against gunboats where better turning wins the day.
Then again you simply can't hit the Red Cat in a cap if they have any idea what they're doing, so that particular comparison is a null point.

I dont think the homeworld ships are at all 'protected' from being replaced, appearance-wise. Jinx made an awesome looking model replacement for the kiith somtaaw SHF, and I really hope it gets added.
Anyways, as to the last sentence there... I went up against - what I considered - a very good dragon bomber pilot in a redcat the other day, using my hogosha kusari gunboat... I won in the end, but it was a very long, very stressful fight and for most of it I was certain that he'd kill me. Turns out I ended up getting killed by all his buddies once I won the 'duel'.

Honor is a fleeting concept, isn't it? Heh.
I don't belive that it's a "crime" to replace the mars and the Kiith SHF with something a bit more... flavour. I mean, hell, no one's even using those ships as far as i know.

I know at least one harvester is using the Kiith SHF, but he'd be getting something better when 4.85 rolls around anyways (if and when the Kiith model is replaced).

as some might know - i had a replace for the KS SHF - but it got rejected. igiss has plans with the KS SHF... so that ll stay the way it is for now.
about the KS SHF as a bomber. - it works fairly well as a support ship. but it can "only" carry one torp, while almost all red catamaran i saw have an inferno+SN+krakens/debs mounted. - so the KS is worse in that departement. furthermore, its 4 times bigger and less agile. - so its not as good.

I use the KS SHF and it is good if your fighting a criuser. But against a gunboat 50/50 odds. Against bombers its toaste. Gronath, Moljinr, and one of their recruits killed 4 KS SHF, 2 gunboats, 1 criuser, 1 saber, and 1 dreadnought in a single battle with us. The KS SHF is what we use to fly escort with our caps.
it kills caps and the caps kill fighter/bombers. They are tough to kill and almost always out live thier weapons.
They turn like bricks but are great for fighting NPC caps and PC caps. They are pure cap killer but they cant catch. They have only 2 forward guns so 2 codes max. They have 5 turrets only 3 face forward the other 2 are rear only. The first Harvester was one of these and still is. SInce Igiss has plans for it now I may have to find a another ship to fill this role.
The one Jinx is build will work but probally be used for anti bomber and point defence roles if it doesnt get a torp slot.

Just a side note: I've been doing some flight tests with the mars flyer, and it seems that the sounds is SUPPOSED to be the engine, because when you e-kill it, the sound goes away. You start moving at all, or thrust, the sound comes back. And if you tap your afterburner multiple times in a short amount of time, it starts the sound over and over and over. Might want to check that.
