Blunt is correct.

Not sure about anyone else but kusari ships always looked like they were really "fast" looking to me. So it would be fitting if they had some kinda fast interceptor ship instead of Bretonia.
Whereas Bretonia could use a proper big chunky fighter that can take a hell of alot of abuse. Like +1/2 or +1/3 armor than other faction heavy fighters like the Wrath and the Gaurdian

Well, although I like it when Dusty Lens proves why people should join his fanclub, this thread is about ships without an existing class, such as combat freighters and similar. Special, niche, ships. Perhaps going on topic is wise?
EDIT: Dammit, it was still a good post, Dusty, just wanted to direct it elsewhere...

Try to follow the line...
How about for Kusari, since they have faster ships, an interceptor, with 2 CDs, and perhaps 2 CMs?
Less than arrow maneuverability, small size, maybe 1/2 lvl 8/9 guns
Bretonia has big chunky ships...
Perhaps a light GB that can fire faster, anti fighter weaponry? Specialized of course, maybe even lvl 6 turret material?

material?
Two CDs never works very well. They have a nasty habit of blowing each other up. Right bother.
Reverse speed is a handy trick though.

Wait, I'm having a thought for a support interceptor here...
Right, a light fighter, with no gun mounts, a CD and a thrust speed whch is higher than cruise. Also, the ability to get into cruise fast.
Useless in a real fight, but handy to have around.

In all honesty you -can- add two thrusters to a ship and it does double the thrust speed. I don't recall if it doubles the thrust drain or not though.
Just please don't consider giving it any cargo space:D
If something like that made it in it'd be like a return of the fools smuggling cardi in camera ships mocking the local law.

Haha, good point. Of course, I'd probably make it a police or military interceptor, designed to stop smugglers, so that may not be an issue.

An interceptor class which can really do its job (by going faster than other ships) would be cool. Or how about a mine-laying interceptor? Think of an Arrow, but add two or four mine slots on it.
Faction-unique ships - bluntpencil2001 - 11-25-2008
Actually, now that I think about it, an interceptor would need some low level guns to take out trade lanes. Apart from that, I think it's gold.
