Added grappling arms to the front of the ship, 1 on top and 2 on the bottom. Might be a bit excessive. Top one might get removed, or 1 bottom one.

' Wrote:I'm not going to bother looking for it, but I'm certain those who took Frozen's place have said not to bother with stats as this is a model submission forum; discussing the model is its purpose, not the stats.

Which is pretty irrelevant, given this thread isn't even a submission while it's modelling is still ongoing.

Not sure about the grappling arms, but if they're there to stay I would say perhaps just have one on top and bottom.

Beta version ingame screenshots(oversized and not hardpointed, no glowing windows).

Looks good. I'm not entirely sure about the escape pods though... maybe two will do?

Civilian Explorer - SparkyRailgun - 06-07-2012

Escape pods are a cool idea.

I really wish Disco would decide what a gunboat is instead of the arbitrary system it has now with single seat gunboats and multi-leveled ones having equal firepower and size.

Civilian Explorer - Harley.Quinn - 06-10-2012

I'd call that thing "Battlegunboat".
That ship is much more like a Cruiser,only has Gunboat shield and Gunboat turrets.I would call that thing a light Cruiser.

P.S from your screenshots,it seems that thing has 900 nano/shield battaries? And you said it had 550 regans.

He probably replaced the model for some other ship :/

Anyways, looks great. Good work!

Civilian Explorer - Tic - 06-10-2012

Yup, when testing the model ingame I used another ship's .ini setup.

I made the final model, with 'my' optimal stats. I'll post the pictures of the finished model later, as well as ingame screenshots and a comparison with Kusari Explorer, Corsair Gunboat, Nomad Gunboat, Scorpion and a Rogue Gunboat. It has buffed stats compared to them, but it's twice the size of Corsair/Scorpion, and a bit bigger than Nomad, but since it shaped like a brick it has a far bigger volume.

Connection glitch double post, my apologies.

Civilian Explorer - Tic - 06-12-2012

Turrets: 11x gunboat(following arcs: 8 forward, 7 backwards, 7 to sides, 7 up, 8 down)

CM: 2x
Cargo Hold: 850
