That is where you are wrong.
Look at the Legate
This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.
Renzu Liner has an open bay (Cargo or otherwise) under the engine in the back as well.
Anyway, love the design. It's not so drastic to not fit, nor is it just a Storta with some box thing added. Definitely looks and feels like what a light carrier could look like in the Outcast line. Props!
Although the ship basically looks like a Storta with a open box on its belly, i am really loving the design. Simple, yet awesome. Great work!

aye the design had to fit within the role play lore of the 75th faction, we are only a pin prick when compared to the numbers of the other factions within role play
75th has only 161 men and women within it. other factions are supposed to be massive with tens of thousands of people
129 enlisted crew on board the Fenice D'oro
17 Flight crew
and 15 enlisted crew on board the Fantasmi (a gull class transport used as the first flagship as its all Claes could afford)
the only reason we could afford to have this ship is because we performed deep scouting missions inside gallic space for the 81st, whom paid us a large sum of money for the intel, using that we fixed this ship up from a burnt out wreck that the 101st donated to us it was basically a piece of scrap that had been towed back from the taus to prevent capture. again all we could afford
and we got boatloads of help from the junkers, whom 75th are seemingly always reliant upon for good bargains. and while they supplied the equipment to make the ship whole again we decided to make some basic adjustments to save money further down the line.
unfortunately due to long series of dry spots, 75th is almost completely out of cash.
I doubt y'all are going to get a unique factionship, it just doesn't seem likely. It'd be an interesting addition to the Outcast line if it got in, but I don't really see a role for it. A cruiser sized carrier might work well as an experiment though for the line, so you never know.
It'd probably be open to all Outcasts though if it were to get in.

Quote:the hope would be for it to be unique to 75th for around 6 months to 1 year tops and then open to everyone after that time due to plans being shared and re-integrated back into Outcast tech.

My point was that the hope is not a likelihood.
