harvester gunboat

Slick
And the 3 missile slots will make it pretty good against Fighters.
I guess the Cuiser is going to fit the role of the Harvies Cap Killer with these in support.

Mhhh, like it, but is it made to have 3 GB turrets on top and one FWgun at the 'nose', because you could maybe get two off there and put them on the sides (in stead of the blue things)

it was done to limits it's firing arc i guess.
We hope it will have great frontal power.


The part i don't get is the one with lvl 7 missile launchers.
Does it mean it will be able to equip both lvl 8 GB turrets and lvl 7 VHF missile launchers?

mostly a toy - lvl7 missiles are low grade missiles ( catapult / neutralizer ). - i put them there as a toy - as an effect. when the missiles fire - the missiles would shoot out of those tubes which might just look fancy - other than that - its of little use.

mounting guns there is pointless, cuase the hardpoints point 45 degrees upwards - so you cannot aim with them.

it currently has 6 normal GB turrets. - 5 inside with zero flexibility - means they fire forward and nowhere else.

only one single turret has a 360 degrees arc. - so this gunboat - with this concept would deliver a powerful punch against ( and ONLY against ) large targets like transports - while it offers the typical gunboat protection from transport guns.

against everything else - it will loose. - a single VHG could take it out with ease - cause this gunboat cannot spin its turrets and needs to keep the enemy straight in its front ( as if you only had a forward gun )

the concept is done in the way to allow a very very specialized tool to crack open a transport class vessel - against other enemies, - it would need drones ( the drone is still powerful enough to function as a VHF or a very very light bomber )

flying alone in such a gunboat would be foolish - but using it with 2 drones should be OK, cause it can simply deliver much more dps than a drone - and take a lot more damage.

I'm not keen on the idea of such restricted fire-arcs. I think one forward gun plus another 4-5 turrets in more regular positions would be better. Lets face it, transports wont be the only thing this has to deal with.

On the plus side, model looks even more awesome now thats its textured, well done Jinx!

Oh My God.

I love it, even with the guns the way they are. I will happily lose every PVP I ever get involved in just to fly something that looks like that. Wow...
