"Dragoon", Paladin replacement - Slainte - 10-01-2011
oooooorrrrrrrr......you could use the Paladin as an escort/scout vessel for Gateway Interstellar by slapping a GI sticker on its wings

Being an independant Bret hauler we could, in theory, buy the plans for the ship thats no longer used in the Armed Forces and get the IMG to build it for us.
Or any other Bretonian corps could do it for that matter:)

This model is MUCH nicer then Paladin, I support this.

For me Paladin is better...

' Wrote:I will inform Jam tomorrow about this so we will provide you with that screen soon.Seen the screeny now. Looks like the model will have a considerably smaller profile, especially from front/aft when turning (which is the most common attack angle). That means less hitpoints, not more, in general - but Ill defer to Mjolnir for that. It suits the Bretonian line a lot better then the Paladin.
I dont know how the team balanced the current Paladin but everyone that ever used it said it was broken and too big for its current stats. That is why we made a model suitable for same stats without changing its agility. Ofcourse its up to dev team to decide that but our last desire was Dragoon to stay as HF with nothing new added, just a pure model replacement.
We have voted for at least 400 more armor increased next to its current 8600 because that is too low for a bretonian ship line. We dont think these 400 bonus armor (with UA8 = +1000) are much of a challenge to anyone but its again up to the dev team.
We're gona provide a new information text for the model too.
As for giving the old design to Gateway... no. It would set a bad precedent, every house corporation and their mother would be demanding their own ship line.

Didn't read stats, balance team takes care of those I reckon.
But you have my vote for the model, and judging by the numbers of Paladins I've slaughtered compared to the Templar count I can see Bretonia's law isn't much into flying the Pally instead of the Templar. If you guys want something else, I reckon that's all good, esp. as I can see that a fair amount of effort went into the whole ordeal.
Model itself's kool too, looks shiny.

The model has been put in the queue for inclusion. Stats have been discarded - Determining those is up to Mjolnir. Hitbox will be close to skintight.

Thank you Aeternus. We are more than happy that our model was taken seriously by the community and the developers team. :yahoo:
Also we are happy that you will try to make the hitbox for Dragoon "skintight" instead of globe like the old Paladin. I have but two last questions.
1. Can you tell us the approximately version of the Dragoon's new stats?
2. Can we give a new Dragoon info card that will replace the current Paladin's? We would like to complete our project and finish it with our own info card?

1: No. Since, I repeat, stats are Mjolnir's department. He'll bite my head off if I start assigning stats myself. *g*
2: We can handle an infocard update, sure. Xoria will have the final say on that one.

Voted yes. Reason - the 1st good looking Bretonia fighter I saw in a FL mod. Plase put it ingame. I will buy it definitely.
