It'd be an interesting addition to the Outcast line if it got in, but I don't really see a role for it.
These two statements contradict one another, because the reason you dont see a use for it, is because its a unique vessel which fits 75th lore exactly.
this ship is exactly what we as a faction need.
in role play our ship has looked like this since it was introduced into the lore, while of course ingame it has to look like a storta, for almost a year since repairs on the ship were finished back in january/febuary time (it was left at Cartagena for 6 IRL months for repairs).
for years ive seen when people want something, they need to prove they can do the job without what it is they want. be that a terrorist ID, spec ops ID, a fancy light set up, a ship against their ID, different Guns. etc.
so its not like im saying we currently fly a storta and then its magically a carrier, our ship has always been a carrier since we started actually using it for its purpose
due to it being unique in design it would have limited roles to fill, its not strong enough to fill a battlecruiser class, and would now not be fast enough to really do justice in a destroyer class. its use is to take a crew and their ships, and be able to provide everything they need to operate in deep space for long periods of time.
its size enables it to get to more places quickly without getting stuck or being detected as easily.
And I would want it to become public for everyone to use, because my belief is that the ship has proven its usefullness and so those higher than Claes in Outcast society would be very interested in the designs.
So it would end up in the hands of whoever the hell is incharge because i really dont have a clue anymore. which means it can be mass produced the same way all the other ships can.
