I know we're not supposed to discuss whether or not a faction needs/deserves a ship, but the Rhienland Military's strategy does not revolve around Capital Ship combat. Liberty's Capital Ship fleet is too strong, so their focus is primarily on smaller combat craft, that is why they made the Fafnir. All a Battlecruiser will do is make an easy target for the Liberty Siege Cruiser to destroy. Rheinland's resources would be better put towards constructing the already fine fighter class vessels they have.
Quote:The blow struck against Rheinland following the events of the war of 800 A.S. placed a heavy burden on Rheinland's already struggling economy and military might. With her dearly bought fleets reduced to the broken testament to a curious period in humanity's history it seemed as though little could be gained save a lesson.
One which Rheinland took to heart.
The Fafnir bomber, brought into the field on the immediate brink of a long forseen war is the result of nearly twenty years of studious labor on how to best break the back of a foe's capital fleet... and restore Rheinland's military glory on the field of battle.
That is the Fafnir's infocard. What about that makes you think Rhienland would bother creating a Battlecruiser? They lost the 80 year war because they relied on Capital Ships.
In its current shape, it seems way too long for something Rheinland would build. shorten both the nose and the engine sections for a start. secondly, the main bulk is in the center, and that is well done. however, i think the engine section could do with some more bulky love (no puns intended). Shortening the head will sort that part out, so thats no problems. furthermore, i think you should spend some time re-doing the top part of the middle section. it seems rather bland and dull, and could do with some buffing up with part added/shaped uniquely.
otherwise, seems like a good solid mesh, well done.
' Wrote:The thing is - Rheinland capships are all vanilla. I like it and don't want non-vanilla ships among them.
The model is good, however.
That won't stop us son. Rhienland is in War with liberty. In doing so, Rheinland created this to bring up more fire power on their shoulders. - RP
Model:
The model is great, however, i have to agree with Frozen about the engine, front end, and the lenght of it. While the middle section reminds me alot of the current cruiser, but - i rather see more armor or bulk around it to make it more fearsome to smash libberty LABC.
