Eppy got Bored (duh) So Here's a New Toy

[Jinx]

well, aren t foreward guns "turrets" now anyway? - anyway - this ship looks big for a GB - and i think 1 gun + 5 turrets ( just like kusari ) is just enough. [ 1 gun and 4 foreward arc // 1 pure backwards + the 4 foreward turrets, and to balance it out, make it so the turrets have a 360 degree arc - but cannot spin around ( so it takes time to spin into the lower/upper part of the arc )]

making it as big as the lunchbox won t really work, i think. the corsair GB is very massive, this one looks skeletal. - by the looks, i d see it roughly the size / agility of the kusari GB. so why not simply copy / paste its statistics along with its weapon characteristics. easy thing, and the kusari gunboat isn t exactly bad. it lacks firepower, but its agile - if it wasn t a vanilla ship, it would even sustain missiles / mines.

besides, i think agility is to outcasts what armor is to corsairs.

Independent Corsairs, ladies and gents. Ninety percent of Corsairs are independent; even the factionized are likely to keep their own private ships, just because it's such an effective ship, for pirating OR combat. I'll bet actual real world money that seventy percent or more of the Corsair players here have their own Gunboats. Anyways, This model is intended to be a little longer than the IMG gunboat, but not nearly so...SLENDER. DOOM.

...

:dry:

I will NEVER get over that. You do NOT get destroyed by four Gunboats. Ever.

But whatever. Happier times, friends ^.^

EDIT: Sorry, Jinx, missed your post. I think it needs to be bigger than the Kusari Gunboat. That thing doesn't have enough firepower, I think for anybody's tastes. Four guns isn't enough, even for something that small. I need a higher hit probability. Some of us ain't got the luxury of an Uber frame rate T.T

Which Dreadnought was that?

One of your nine.

I think countering gunboat whoring with the same might cause issues.

And yes, the proliferation of Corsair handbags makes me cry too. Figuratively speaking, of course...

That thing looks alright, but it looks kind of spindly, and it might break in half really easy. I sujjest beefing it up somewhat, make it look bigger and cap-ship-ish, instead of thin and almsot bomber-ish.

Heehee...that's the beauty of the Structural Integrity Fields. It can look like absolute crap, the magic energy field will hold it together. What, that's how Captain Kirk did it:$Making it beefier sort of kill the feeling that says Outcast, imho... we're all about slender and knife-like things, not tanks. Cough. Cough. Corsairs. Cough. The original design was actually about forty percent slimmer, believe it or not.

Have i missed something?

It could never become OC Gunboat. They have a cruiser and two battleships and no resources to build an additional Gunbot.:haha:. Just kidding.

A bit more tuning in detail please. Its to edgy. Oh and i know from a higher level, that more forward guns are not really welcome, but maybe there will be an exception.

Good base for further developments.

...It's a Gunboat; it's small. There isn't really much more you can do for detail unless you want me to just work on jacking up the Poly count, in which case I would be happy to give Mohr more to do:no:Anyways, any suggestions, to that effect? If it can be more detailed, then I don't see why not:mellow:...I know more forward guns aren't exactly appreciated, but this seems like this one has a niche, considering all the other fun things the Outcasts do with Heavy Weaponry.

Also:

Joke about our resources like that again and I'll toss ya.:nono:

You're already submitting your design?
Yikes!
I better contract someone to model my concept for the BW/Outcast GB fast!

No offense Eppy, but I really don't care for your design. It fits well with your Outcast Battleship, but not as well with the rest of the Outcast ships.*

*Just Dopamino's (usually) controversial opinion.

It's too spindly and the edges of the wings are too square. most of the faces on it are flat. I just think it need more work detailing it. It looks too rough to me for Outcast technology. Plus I'm biased because I have my own idea of what it should look like which I hope to have modeled soon.
