Well I didn't intended to let it fall into Blood Dragon hands :dry:, but well its just an idea feel free to work on it further. I just wanted to solve my problem with my RP prison ship it gets blown up every time I get some pirates on my scanners demanding prisoners. Im all ok with that it isnt wrong or anything I kinda like it RP wise. But at the moment Im a sitting duck flying this prison liner. It just makes no sense for me to give those prisoners up without a fight. And well at the moment it isnt capable of delivering an answer to those GC and BD fighter weapon loadouts.

Perhaps a Heavy Gunboat?
Indeed that ship of his looks really nice can't wait for it to be available.
Anyone knows when it will be flyable. Its exactly what Im looking for. :yahoo:
Now that I have looked at the model more closely, I'd indeed say that it looks Dragon enough.
The fins on the back very much remind me of the Togo back fin, and the Hachiman fins. I say make it the size/larger of the current Kusari Destroyer, little more armor, little less agility. Or larger then the Kusari Dessie, with the same agility and armor. NO FORWARD CANNONS, Dragons have no need of a siege cruiser, instead give us a fast assault Destroyer.
The model could use some more detailing, but as far as I'm concerned, I'd like to see it textured in Togo colors.
In any case, cool as it may look putting two vanilla ships together and calling it something new isn't going to make it into the mod.. you need original work.

Please remember that this was just an idea to get you all interested in creating a possible new shippy.
I just liked the look of those two ships together. It surprised me that it looked that good, to me at least. I know it isn't going to replace any ships currently on the server.

First of all, it ain't sexy, its ugly as hell. Second it doesn't fit the rest of the BD capital line, doesn't fit at all.
Thirdly and most importantly, the BD don't need a siege cruiser that size. We need a fast, agile assault destroyer, one to match the Kusari Destroyer. The BD don't have the resources to maintain a cruiser of that size, thus don't use it almost never. Something similar to the Kusari Dessie would be ideal for hit and run attacks and would suit the BD much better then the current one.
