I would love to see an intermediate trader between the 5000 and barge, the gap is far too wide and their should be something inbetween...
One crazy idea I had one night was a Heavy Very Large Train Freighter/Fighter (with good firepower only once detached). It can detach from its cargo like an Artic lorry (once detached diverting max power to guns/speed become avaliable only) to fight off raiders then joint up again the raders are defeated.
the economy is not build for ships greater than 5k - period.
also the spatial will go - no matter how much ppl dislike the replace or adore the current one - it is a star wars ship - and that has to go, - that is final.
Lib dread is quite OP now. Even before, it could fight Osiris quite good. And Rheinland BS may die to it as well, because Lib Dread (also why the hell its called Dread at all? Its just a common Battleship) can dodge like Ossie if flown in skilled hands, and RM BS ofc cant do same with its BIG face/back/sides/up/down.
Ossie needs some fancy stuff, like better arcs to have more firepower on front/back or maybe reverse like in 85. I made a topic (http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=84438) while back to see what people want from Ossie to be. guess it means nothing though.
EDIT: After looking on Ossie topic, I realised that its poll is screwed up after some changed that admins made to forums.
EDIT2: Recording to my memory it was like:
Poll: What Osiris you have?
I have Order Osiris
I have Corsair Osiris
I have it in both factions
I dont have an Osiris/it is SRP
What buff ossie should have?
1 - armor/cargo
2 - firepower arcs
3 - speeed/agility
4 - none. ossie fine as its now.
What should happen to ship itself?
1 - should remain where it is with slight buff
2 - heavy buff it to fight Lib dread/nomad marduks/mako (maybe buff makos too) make it order only and make Corsair to have own new light BS to face OC light BS and RH Jorm
3 - give order heavy BS (aka Thebes) and dont buff ossie at all
4 - it should remain exactly where it is now with no changes
if I remember it correct, most voices were for buffing ossie firepower and armor, make it to order only and give corsairs own light BS
Guys, I think this is the wrong place to discuss this Osiris stuff again. This thread is only about new models or changes to existing ones. Nothing more, nothing less.
This also counts for anything related to balance.
