Li-117 Upholder Bomber

[Dopamino]

Baby steps Xing. The design is a bit too radically different.

Some say that he is allergic to a fungus found only between the toes of Corsairs,
and that he is oblivious to 98% of Liberty Law. All we know is...
He's called the Busdriver!

I like radical designs Sirus needs a new era of ships.

Hopefully this bomber will avoid the data corruption of doom that afflicts Libertonian bombers.

Ah, the cockpit is a departure, but as shiplines evolve so do their lines.

That being said, the 'fin' is an avenger trademark, which is an LSF ship, while the guardian's rollbar is more of a naval detail. Perhaps the rollbar might fight a bit better in this case?

That being said, like you mentioned, the torp tubes need some stretchy love.

Brilliant show as always!

Hooooly S*** THAT IS BEAUTIFUL!

While being quite funny, your sig was the biggest one i've ever seen so far. No more than 700x250 please. ~utrack

The very tip of the nose is too sharp. too many dimensions close, right there. you don't have points like that in a freelancerish ship, generally...it just needs to be blunted out a bit, and made less curvy-smooth, and the whole ship will look a lot better.

[Xing]

the tip, I cant easily modify. It's due to the shape of it, if I move it, I'd ruin the whole nose.
as for its smoothness... well freelancer ships are known for being bulky yet smooth on some places. Bretonian ships being a good example, but for Liberty, look at the patriot or defender cockpit for instance.

The general shape, that said, is based off the F-117, which is incidentally probably the inspiration for the Raven Claw. Sounded like a good deal, since RC is suposed to be LSF ship.

If you ask me. It looks to be too small to be a bomber - balance reasons.

[Jinx]

i like it - simple as that. since i m mostly modelling, too and haven t payed a single thought ( a serious one ) on stats - i wouldn t care much about it.

if igiss makes up stats by the ships looks - it would truely be a very small and agile ship - but why not. - give it a VHF powerplant, a torp slot and a CD/Torp slot ( like the death scythe ) - that d make it a formidable light bomber for the LPI, even a next gen bomber. - VHF stats all the way ( or heavy ) - and being able to fire a CD AND a minirazor. - give it some flashy blue / red lights - and you have a great LPI light bomber, something the LPI has been looking for.

so whats all the fuss.

ahh, btw. xing... i gave your thuglethingy rheinland bomber an experiemental loadout.. ( while we re at it )

- 1 CD mount foreward, 1 torp CD mount foreward ( a 10 degrees arc )
- 1 CD mount backwards, 1 torp CD mount backwards ( a 30 degrees arc )
- energy to fire 2 supernovas at once ( used a transports powerplant )
- 2 lvl4 turrets
- 2 lvl9 guns with a 15 degrees foreward arc ( only like half the screen when you re in chase view )
- 2 lvl3 turrets

what you get is a bomber that can fire a well aimed SN on approach ( the refire of the SN must be rebalanced:laugh:) and upon passing, he can fire another SN backwards - IF he is not thrusting, cause if he is ... the momentum makes the SN nearly immobile

oh, and the secondary weapons make the whole ship rather helpless in against a fighter ( NPCs only in OpenSP ) i had to go to turret mode to track them ( gave the bomber the agility of a dromedary )

what i want to say is: there are ways to balance those ships without simply making them smaller or more agile or less - or whatever. if this little bomber is able to fire a razor as the strongest weapon + a CD, its a light bomber. - and thats fine.
