Nighthawk, it could be RP'd from several views, actually. Although your basic points stand, that's no reason to drop the entire concept, especially so near to being completed.
Think of it as this:
The Rheinland engineers commissioned a mere dozen of the new design, it doesn't have to be employed in hundreds or as the trump card of the Rheinland forces in the front lines, but more like an experimental sort of vessel used chiefly for border/internal defense duties and heavy fire support in raids. It requires less material than a battleship, while being nearly as effective at delivering punishment as one.
There are several models in the game being much more rarely used, worse looking and conceptually useless aswell. Numerous RP standpoints reasoning for the RABC's commissioning can be presented. Personally, I can come up with some if you insist. As I know the [RM], we would have these ships highly restricted in our lines, and it's not like Rheinland will be flooded by lolcaps because there's a new class of vessel to fly.
It could be RPed from numerous perspectives, but they're only excuses made up to get the ship added. How many of them are a legitimate need for this ship?
There's a difference between want and need. RP determines the need, pretty renders determined the want.
So, do you want this ship, or do you need it? Can Rhienland not possibly go without this ship for another moment? Will this ship be the turning point in this conflict or will it just be another giant floating coffin like all other Battlecruisers?

Actually their posts are in exactly the right place.
They're just stating reasons why it shouldn't be added. Logical reasons as well, as opposed to the reasons that are for its inclusion into the mod.
A nay from me. The model's alright. The concept of a Rheinland cruiser is kinder pointless and against the general tactics Rheinland have been employing (creating a fluff load of snubcraft).

Quote:The 'model' section has started to irritate me a bit lately. It has turned into a shameless +1 section for a lot of people.
It's also been serving as a turf war of sorts over 'who gets what ships'.
This is not good.
So, from now on, all comments in ship model threads must pertain to the model and the artistic properties thereof. Not the 'balance' of said ship, not the 'oh xxx faction doesn't need this'. The artistic properties.
Posts that do not follow this guideline will be removed without further adu, and frequent violators will find themselves missing credits/posting rights.
Now please have a nice day and be civil to each other, I know you can do it.

Thank you cleric, and in advance apology accepted.
There are 13 post about this model, 7 of them are not related to the models artistic properties.
No one else comment here if you do not have any comments or crits about the artistic values of the model.

Yeah. :|
Oh, as for me, I'd give the Wraith a sixth gun and remove every other ship Rheinland has. There's pretty much no need for anything else, as a swarm of 6-8 Wraiths (piloted by at least middle-class pilots) can eliminate anything even now.
No, an RABC won't be a turning point of the war. No, it definitely won't pose as a superior piece of armament in the conflict. BUT this ship is a marvelous piece of work. A work of a man who obviously contributes to the mod's development with this addition.
What's the hurt in this being implemented? Nothing. If people prefer to fly such vessels, so what? Nothing (but a snubnose swarm) will prevent you from voicing your dislike by fetching Siege cruisers and blasting any vessel of this kind you see. It's a game, afterall.
(I'm kinda drunk atm. Might edit this post tomorrow. D:)

So you do admit that there is no need for this ship. You just want it cause of the pretty render.
Also, I wouldn't make a Siege Cruiser and kill these ships out of dislike for them. I'd do it because it would be funny and satisfying for me.
And also, i didn't see a reasons why this ship shouldn't be added to rheinland, their BS is too big, this vessel can be used in super-light bs role because rheinland BS can't evade anything and its very very very big, and also very old. I vote YUS for this.

No, you see, as per RP which is the be all and end all, RABC cannot exist.
Not possible. Ever.
Bombers. Always.
Escorts always. (Always, never question them, when someone has a problem with their FL installation it is because their starflea did not hire escorts.)
