' Wrote:When it's time to hardpoint that, I'd put the weapons all underneath, so it doesn't break up the ship's sleek lines.
I am inclined to agree, however, I am unsure how well this will benefit gameplay. Unless plasma blasts can travel through the ship, your guns' line of sight will be very limited -- particularly because the wings bend downward.
Ehh, wouldn't say Zoner. Can we please get a Gallic civ line based off this thing though? The current Gallic civ ships are.. lackluster at best. No offense to whoever made them, they just don't seem to do it for me.
Designing a Zoner fighter is difficult because there is no precedent besides the capital ship line which in itself is diverse. I have attempted to use many elements from Jinx's models in order to retain maximum consistancy. If you have any suggestions I'll gladly listen.
While the Gallic civillian ship designs could use improvement, I would argue that the Zoner player base which has been around since day one has been greatly overlooked. It is currently one of the only non-corporate NPC factions without its own brand of fighters. The Virage is sold to mercenaries and is officially civilian.
Also, prehaps, since Zoners also have to worry about Nomads and CAN NOT attack execpt in defence unless certain rare circumstances are met, give it class 10 guns, but no mine.
First. Those of you that want to complain about another Zoner ship. Get out of the thread. Blue is a Zoner player and he designed this ship for Zoners. Get over it. If you want other factions to get new ships so bad, do it yourself. These people do this for no pay and on their time, quit complaining because they don't do what you want.
Second: Blue, amazing, I thought it was sexeh when you first showed it to us, now......simply amazing. I guess this is where you've been spending your time?
I will say I do agree that Gallic fighters don't look good, but I am tired of seeing people complain when someone submits something. How about people do something about it? I believe this fighter is connected to the ZTC (Could be wrong though.) and OSI paid for a Virage redesign. If the Gauls want new ships how about you make a contest and give people an incentive. Same for those crappy mining ships. If you mining corps want them redesigned, give people an incentive. Why would people that don't play with the ships bother with designing them for you? They design what they have fun with. Sorry if I sounded like an ass, its part of who I am.
