I'd argue keep it. Its not so much an adaptation of the capitals as it is a new ship. I think it does have elements of the order fighters, though, what with the downward sloping wings.
This model really does deserve to get into the game...
mixed liberty / interior / liner and whatever else - i d dye it darker though - about to osiris level. - the brighter armour would become a dark tan then.
I didn't really like Legeonation's gunboat, but this is a beauty. Not too Order-ish on its own, but where it's coming from it looks great and can fit in for sure.
You've done like 3 of the 5? new Order ships and all look amazing.
to be fair.... if you ( the order players, which i am not ) think that a zoner derived ship does not fit - and it should rather be derived from the osiris / anubis - i d make another concept ( not like it takes very long anyway )
like i wrote - this concept originates from the zoners GB, which itself is derived from the new juggernaut... so there is NO order influence there at all. - practicly, the order would be flying an exclusive zoner project ( no difference in stats - but its of matter for RP maybe )
another issue is of course.... a "mini osiris" shape is hard to hit in pvp - while this rather "disc" like ship is of course a much better target, even if its made quite agile. ( but considering you re mostly going after the huge blue blob in the sky ( nomad GB ) i don t think its too unfair after all )
yes - the texture sucks .. i used the wrong skin map for it - but decided to post it anyway, cause a bit of colour changes the ships appearence. - a final version would have a different, higher resolute texture... but right now, its mostly about the shape.
if the order ppl agree that they can live with a fully zoner made gunboat. - i d proceed.
just for shows - that was the original concept. - but after reading all Xings dragon thread, i decided it was too bluntly eagle like - and not enough shiplike:laugh:-- but a falcon would have fit the order, too.
