' Wrote:Zephyr is a beauty of a ship and seeing people RPing it as a battlestar would be awesome. If nothing else it's a tremendous shame to see a good model like that wasted.
From a modeling perspective, the entire CR line is poorly modeled and overly low poly, with mehish textures. As a design, I didn't really like the Zephyr. It looked like a duck that had been flattened by a steamroller.
And no, RPing it as a battlestar wouldn't be awesome in the same way that having a battlestar in the mod wasn't. >_>
Jaec, please don't ruin the thread. You're right that the Colonial Republic has moved on and become a part of this mod by altering their RP (just like the Mandalorian Mercenaries did), but you can say that without personally attacking Govedo.

There has been some reasonable discussion, I'll add my thoughts now.

Why not? Isn't that the whole reason for adding player ship docking?
1) CR is a bunch of refugees. No way can they stand toe-to-toe with GRN or OC. Add a super-heavy bomber to help you swarm the targets, then refund all the caps and remove them. Give the faction a couple of Zephyrs to help the RP along.

As has been said, CR is not an import any more. The Colonials haven't just jumped in with the Battlestar Galactica and shot the place up with Vipers - we have our own backstory that doesn't conflict with existing lore (at least not any more than some factions in a similar position), shipline and RP that has developed over time.

We might be refugees, but we were a large military presence before being chased out of Tau-44. Standing toe-to-toe with a Valor isn't really that feasible, so why not have a lighter carrier to dodge around them, support our snubs, and help the RP of our guerilla warfare focused military.
' Wrote:Sounds like you want something that's called a "carrier" or "battleship" then.
Since when were we looking for a Battlestar? We have (what's claimed to be) a rather ineffective battleship, and this discussion is about possibly bringing back a carrier for us.
Seems to be no concensus here. In that case I'm favoring leaving things as they are.
