bret hf / vhf

[Jinx]

as promised - this is the first modelled concept of the VHF/HF i had in mind...

on the paper, it looked more bretonia-like though.


i think i ll focus a bit more on the cockpit bubble - make it wider. the whole ship is very narrow right now. - the armourplatings that protect the canopy are a bit too big - so they ll be reduced a little. the ship is supposed to be a new design, not ( like some other ships ) old designs that just pop up now. - so it should look a great deal more modern than the crusader / chavalier line. - it does share the vertical canopy bubble and the thrusters on the leglike extensions.

Looks nice and interesting...

Hm...
What about some flat tail?

Another good piece of work Jinx. I would say it looks Bretonia but either a new and advanced prototype as it wouldn't fit very well with the current batch of Bret ships.

Nice, I like it.

I was actually thinking yesterday that I want a new fighter for my QCO that's not the Templar or Hussar.

Nice.
If the body was flatter and taller, I think it could be an excellent BG ship, maybe minus the pods. Just a suggestion.
I agree with the Bret feel; might be a nice update of the gunboat. Bret gunship?

This looks very nice.

Indeed, make those plates smaller, their size limits the pilot's field of view. I wouldn't touch anything else.

Reminds me of a machine. Harvester/AI ship?

Does look fairly bretonian though.

Just go play the game and have fun dammit.

all in all the conclusion is that disco doesn't need antagonist factions, it doesn't need phantoms, it doesn't need nomads, it doesn't need coalition and it doesn't need many other things, no AIs, the game is hijacked by morons to confuse the game with their dickwaving generic competition games mixed up with troll-of-the-day.

it ll look more bretonian once its textured - i m currently texturing it ( or untill the match begins )

- changed the armour plating a bit - so its bend in a tighter curve and less dominant at the cockpit area.
- flattened the tail a bit more and forked it ( slightly )
- added the BAF emblem in the front and adjusted the front shield so it resembles the crusaders front a bit more
- reformed the cockpit to make it appear rounder

i hope i ll find the appropriate textures in the FL texture files. - about the stats....

i think i ll add 6 gunhardpoints + 1 universal 360 degrees turret, a CD slot + a torp slot ( bit like the death scythe ) i d see this ship in the VHF department - with significantly less armour than the crusader ( 8k - 9k maybe ), but a better turn / strafe rate along with more flexibility and slightly more burst firepower ( i d say - it should have a smaller powerplant than the crusader - so that it can use its 7 weapons for heavy bursts, but not for sustained fire )

the above is only a theoretical concept - i m not sure if such a ship would be too much ( compared to the kusari shipline )

i think it does look bretonian now - but only the textures will give it a final touch - so i ll update it here once the skin is on it.

I think it's quite nice, and seems well-evolved from the current ships, including fighters. Styles change, and this one strikes me as still having a Bretonian style, but at a more advanced stage - I think that's exactly what we should be shooting for (no pun intended).

I would love it if this was the next generation of Bretonian military/police, and the current generation could be retired for civilian use. I think Bretonian corporations should have Bretonian escort craft, for a variety of reasons.
