turrets are an issue. - they are the problem with the current gunship and will still be a problem with any replace - provided we try to keep the small size as much as possible to differentiate from the orca ( main gunboat ).
to make the turrets actually fit the size best, i d have to increase it by at least 10% or more. - but then, it would become easier to hit than the orca. - the transport turrets are on the bigger side of turrets ( around the size of the bretonian turrets ) - so "normal" gunship turrets would look better on it. - not perfect though, but a bit better.

As for balance, I'd like to see that gunship cut down to 4 turrets considering it's size and manuverability. The thing is a pain in the rear to hit no matter what you're flying or what weapons you're using. Should probably also have the hull strength cut down to 30k or so.

Problem is tenacity, you cannot strip turrets without enacting a player wipe.
You can change stats such as powerplant, armor and so on. But mounted items remain the same.

hm... guess that would pose a problem.
something that small and manuverable should never have gotten 6 gunboat level turrets though =P

Though, of course, you can make it so that only four fire in any particular direction at a time.

good idea, how about we limit two of the turrets to 10 degree rear firing arcs only =)

That looks great Jinx, but what are you going to call it?
I'm thinking Mackerel, that way we can abbreviate it to Mack' which sounds cool.

Looks awsome, but i dont know if its just me, but doesnt it look like a freighter?

As much as any gunboat does.
