Ship Infocards Contest

[Xoria]

This is the current infocard for the Bretonia Battleship.

Built by the Royal Bretonia Navy to serve as both a symbolic and real display of their military might, this class is the cornerstone of their defenses.

Quite uninspired and completely lacking in detail. Apparently it even lacks a class name like most ships do. This is the case for quite a few of the capital ships that have been in the mod for a long time.

Since I'm busy ruining the mod's new infocards, we might as well ruin the old ones too.

So, this is the official start of the "This Old Ship Needs a New Infocard" contest. ANY old ship with an uncreative infocard is a valid target. What could win the contest? An infocard like this for the Liberty Assault Battlecruiser would be a decent entry:

Liberty government was always aware that their most dangerous potential enemies are not pirates or smugglers, but other Houses. For the case of full-scale war between Houses, the Liberty Navy has a secret weapon that may unexpectedly turn the tide of any battle - a heavily armored and fast Assault Battlecruiser, capable of breaching enemy formations and quickly taking out key capital ships of the opposing side.

Obviously even that one could use some editing, but it's more interesting than the Bretonia Battleship. While you're at it, cases like that one can be rewritten too. If you think you can do it better, then knock yourself out.

To enter the contest, just find a ship infocard that needs some spice, add spice, and drop it in here (do NOT pm them to me). Make sure that you provide the full name of the ship along with your submission. All submissions will be proofread, edited, and otherwise reviewed by every bigshot hothead on the dev team before actually going into the mod as a replacement, and you can't expect a mention in the mod credits, but you'll have the ability to brag to your pals that you described a fictional spaceship eight centuries in the future better than anybody else playing a mod based off an 8 year old Microsoft game.

And there's no substitution for that when it comes to impressing the ladies, let me tell you. Why do you think Dusty Lens really left, eh? The ladies tied him up and dragged him off after seeing the ship infocards he wrote for 4.85, that's what. But have no fear, that's not going to happen to me; that's why I want you all to write these up instead.

In short, it's just like at the carnival, step right up, anyone can be a winner. Multiple submissions for each ship are welcome. Descriptions may be merged together or chosen separately as the final choice.

Also, because I'm an organization nut, after posting your submission in this thread, also post it in this spreadsheet for easy access later.
