bretonian heavy transport

[Jinx]

its been some time ago that i received a request to think of a bretonian transport in the heavy or very large department. - at that time i could not really think of anything that suited the role.

this is what came to mind recently - a concept that is VERY close to the current generic transport but shares characteristics of bretonias love for rounder surfaces. ( bretonian designs are not THAT round - but this version would be a modern developement... )



this concept won t win a price for the very best innovation....

the concept is :

- a very vertical transport that offers a VAST target from the side, but a rather low profile from the front
- a modular design that can come with 1, 2 or 3 levels of crates/containers
- it ll have engines in the very back ( 2 ) aswell as in the front ( 4 )
- i imagine this transport to be well defended to make up for the large size from the sides ( maybe 10 turrets )
- a ship with such a large size in the verticals might cause problems docking / undocking.

so, whats the thoughts about a faction based transport that can carry 5k cargo anyway. - do we need another one for more variety within the high end transports? - is the concept flawed? ( too strong, too weak )

note, that is only a rough concept with little details - i won t texture it if there s no need for another transport anyway - and the train is at least still a generic FL design, so it ll be hard to match that quality of texuring and the richness of details.
