some time ago i was approached by the Hogosha. they wished to have a concept made for them for a gunboat
now the idea was something BIG - not just big in scale but also big in showing off. - the result ... a huge dragonstatue breathing fire ( forward cannon ) on a traditional kusari boat.
i call it guncarrier, cause ... seriously - it turned out to be nearly twice he size of your usual gunboat.
to make that a serious GB - i d delete the dragon and the huge cannon though
for fun - only slapped a simple skin over it to render it. ... btw. thats the media section, not a serious submission.
edit: imagine it without the cannon & dragon and it might make a submission. its a GB based on the Geisha, which is fairly reasonable for the Hogosha i think.
Nice model, but difficult to hitbox. It'll have the same issues as the Tridente in terms of being hit. While it's large in dimensions, it's surface area is small. Shots can easily pass through the model.
That, and I will never support the Hogosha or Junkers being able to have capital ships. Quasilawfuls with capital ships? I'd like them to explain that to the KNF...

1st reaction: WTF is that?
2nd reaction: LOL DRAGONZ!
3rd reaction (after reading Jinx's plans): Removing the dragon and the huge cannon would make for a new Gheisha model.
4th reaction: Removing only the dragon and keeping the huge gun would make a great siege cruiser for any Kusari based faction (except the ones that already have one).
In conclusion I see 2 options:
Model - Dragon - Huge Gun = Gheisha MK II
Model - Dragon = Golden Chrysanthemum Siege Cruiser

You forgot that the two most powerful factions on disco today,are two miners factions (IMG and rebel miners RHA)
How will you explain that to Outcasts ,which have nerfed weapons (kraken), ship (sabre),nerf on civilian ships or to Hogosha who lost their identity?
or anyone with any sense who PLAY this game?

You do realise the Krakens still have a DPS which rivals - if not beats - the majority of other faction guns? Similarly, the Sabre is still a very good ship. The Outcast's problems are caused nearly entirely by apathy. The options for activity are there, but no-one is taking them.
The Hogsha are also free to pirate in the Sigmas and Taus, prime stomping grounds to interdict ore and transports.
