third ( and last ) civ GB attempt - Sprolf - 03-25-2010
Bacon... will certainly do it.

Renzu. Does that name ring a bell? This ship could simply be produced by a company that produces open market military grade gear. After all private military companies are legal in Sirius, so one would assume that companies to support them would appear too.
I like this model and I think Sprolf has a good idea with it being a corvette.

Quote: (and giving a gb level ship to everyone around is looks abusing military "cool" techs that are restricted, why to build relations with faction to request good GB if you can just get this one?)
Hence why we have so many indie tridentes.
They -dont- "build relations".

Well, indi Oc can use tridents, but, lets say freelancers\mercs\pirate ided lads that are not restricted to any area can't get it, but with it gb will came to everyone's home X)
// this is not to not to add ship completely, just make it weaker then faction's gbs D:

A combat professional would willing use something weaker than what he is hunting? I simply dont see it happening.
And the reason no one tries to fly a gunboat as those people, is because they make an Indy OC to whore the thing, rather than bother to build relations.

It's nice.
It might be something Junker made, sold on Barrier station, and maybe 1-2 Junker outposts.
And look, you have to go through a lot to get a military grade equipment as a freelancer.
Especially something as powerfull as a gunboat. So, this would give a playing chance to those who want to fly one, but dislike the immense paperwork needed to get a faction gunboat. Just... do make it weaker than the rest of them. Small to medium power core, but make it huge, and slow. Not too good armored as well.
Make it a sort of derelict Gull or Albatross, salvaged by the Junkers, and retrofitted with high grade power core and power conduits, and some armor plates welded on it. Or something else, that fits the model looks...

Cool. Good job!
I cannot say more.

Erm, the one thing I know about junker ships is that every one of them is unique. Would they really sell their most "powerful" created ships to just anyone?
What's wrong with this just being a civilian gunboat? I have no problems with it being as powerful as military gunboats, just make it slower and bigger. The design thinking would then have been "We want to put enough firepower in this for it to be dangerous." and then they put in a civilian power core big enough to support that.

hm.
It looks like a no nonsense workhorse. like mentioned before: cut costs by making it basic.
and that is why I'd say: lose the fancy cockpit. high tech sensors etc. would be something military ships may have. I imagine a civvie GB to be very basic: a plain cockpit with a pilot who has to fly on visual with the gunner next to him.
as for the manufacturer, I'm against AP persoanlly for reasons Jinx already stated.
but then, why not Renzu? They make civvie ships. hell, it even looks kinda Renzu-ish.
it may be the 'bold project' Renzu has made to make a better name (profit) for itself.

Do we really need another useless ship in game, look this ship is beautiful and would be worth beeing used but the way y'all put it nobody will use it and I really don't understand.
