Energy Usage: 175
Range: 550
Speed: 700


Kraken:
Damage: 556
Energy: 126

Black widows have nothing over Krakens except the 30 extra damage, which is null due to a 54 extra energy per shot.

Not to mention the sacrifice of range.

Also, I forgot.. If it's going to have 5 guns, it can have bigger powerplant in return.
Eagle powerplant is actually very low.. Lower then Marauder's (which is a HF btw).
So, 10400 would work pretty nice.

Giving it a Falcon powerplant is simply funny.. 6400 energy is like, nothing.
Not to mention that Falcon is a lower class HF.
At least 8k power supply, I'd say.

Here are some HF power plants to compare

Taiidan HF : 9.000
Marauder HF : 11.400
Blood Dragon HF : 10.400
Hammerhead : 9.000
Crow : 9.000
Centurion : 8.900

So, 6400 is really.. no can do..

It is every Corsair's responsibility to die a beautiful death in defense of Crete, regardless of how OORP or how capwhoring the opposition is. Launch your fighter, joust the battlecruisers and die a beautiful death. Then, drink it down in the bar.

Good looking ship! I like the last one the best of the three pics.

I vote Starhunter. This is cool cause it addsmore ships to the civilian line, something which has been lacking for a while.

Seriously Man,

Model its stats after a blood dragon and make it Xeno Exclusive HF.
Blood dragon has 6 guns. 10.4 powerplant. and Can fire a torp.
Colorado Blazer should be 4 guns 1 turret, 10.4 power plant and can fire a torp as well.

Give it the sane agility as Blood Dragon, may be a fraction faster. The smaller size is compensated by a less armament on hand. BD agility means, a good pilot in a liberator can take it on and beat it. (Which I have seen LPI do)

Right.. how does giving a ship with stats modeled after an unbalanced ship to Xenos not encourage pvp-whoring amongs them?

BD is balanced with Desinfectors.. or better with Daitos.. with Krakens it's unbalanced...
now Xenos have Black Widows.. which in duels are as good as Krakens (you don't run out of energy in a duel...)... so that's a no from me.

Also BD is really small.. make this one smaller with same agility...and you get an overpowered lightfighter...

I WAS making a Civilian SHF, but that wont be ready for Xeno and everyone else to use until its at least acceptable...which should occur in about.....2 or 3 versions?

Third picture....beautifle.
Starhunter...WOW that really fits it..Brilliant!

While being quite funny, your sig was the biggest one i've ever seen so far. No more than 700x250 please. ~utrack

Well 1 Vs 1 I think its main nemesis would be the slipstream and the Liberator.
You really think this will be faster than either one BD isnt?

Liberator is 4 guns lvl 8 and lvl 9. and can fly around a BD with ease.

I was fortunate to see a fight in Connecticut between a BD and a liberator and the liberator, tore the BD up. Sam from LPI was flying it.

Hope you also remember Xenos do not have any other kinds of Caps. Dont tell me this thing would frighten Liberty GB's.

Xenos have no capships. They solely rely on fighters and bombers and soon their Starblazer modification.

I think the model is finished. Close design discussion? Any last words on its layout? Oh yeah, I need to add a few hull panels randomly on the ship so it looks like it got reinforced badly. I might also add a few tubes... That'd look nasty.

Xenos have no caps so lets give them uber fighter... yeah.. how will other forces in the area counter them... with caps...:nono:

Liberator IS a LF.. and has only LF firepower... and uses only liberty weapons (though Vengeance on that thing rocks...)

you are suggesting making this LF-like with BD-like (VHF) firepower... 4 slots + turret is one thing... now you fit big powerplant (10.4).. so you can support the power-hungry xeno guns.....and you get an unbalanced ship.

Eagle is really good as it is...so this should get HF stats...

8k powerplant... (EDIT: Meant HF one.. that's 9k.. my bad)
4-6 slots... lvl 8 and 9.
some 1.3-1.4 agility
lvl 9 shield

and it will be really small.

civ. bomber will get an upgrade.. and actually against a BC I would pick that one over Falcata. Without inferno, Falcata doesn't recharge the SN fast enough to fire before the shield comes up.

Also Slipstream is actually quite a brick... for a LF.... compared to Wyrm/Phantom/Liberator/Tiger shark.... you name it...

EDIT: @Ximen.... comparing the Black Widow to the by far best lvl 9 in game is not really objective..

take a look on this:

Black Widow:

Damage: 580
Energy Usage: 175
Range: 550
Speed: 700
Particle (best on Gravitons)

Helfurry:
Damage: 446
Energy: 130
Range: 700
Speed: 700
Tachyon (best on Molecular)
