I hope these ships, both the fighter and bomber, are scaled in size to fit with the rest of the Kusari ship lines. The reason I say this is because who exactly is going to fly these ships if they offer no advantages over their dragon counterparts?
Larger size, comparable maneuverability, possibly the same weak powerplant, and maybe a smidge more armour. If those are the traits that these ships, the bomber and the fighter, are going to have compared to their dragon cousins, then I dont see many of the people outside the factions switching.
Aside from that, the design itself is excellent, though I expected that with a name such as the Golden Chrysanthemums, they would be more decorative with perhaps smoother and softer curves and shapes, rather than the functionality I can see there. Still, thats just my view on the GC.

I dont like the idea that the Red Cat and BD are uber so we need to make the GC ships uber or people wont use them. Why should the GC BD alliance have 2 uber bombers and 2 Uber fighters. Why not just use the ship you are supposed to like the rest of the server. So if the GC bomber is not as good as the red cat, GC should still use the GC bomber, thats the way it works with everyone else. If not, why not just make the most uber ship ever, and re-skin it for every faction.
that might make them somewhat unpopular, - but i will compare them to the eagle, not to the dragon ships. - if i have the feeling that the GC will keep using dragon equipment instead, the submissions will be withdrawn. ( no threat and no grudge against such a decision ) - but i will not make them even close to what BD ships are about when it comes to the size and agility.
to make it short - those ships will be worse than blood dragons, no doubt about that. - they will be worse in everything. - they will turn slower, strafe slower and have less weapons. ( the cat has 4 weapons and 1 forward turret, the GC bomber is supposed to have what normal bombers have - 4 weapons )
ships are being made and added to add make a faction more authentic with their own designs, instead of using generic eagles. - i do NOT have pvp in mind for them. ( primarily ) - so it would be nice to know if the current GC faction would fly something of eagle quality instead of the far better dragon ships.... or not. and it would be nice to know that before they are submitted.
The BD ships are supposed to be getting a manuverability nerf and hit box size increase as well, something to keep in mind - they're overpowered right now, and that's getting changed.

And if they are better than dragon ones all blood dragons will switch over to them... then we up the BD ones again.. and GC again and so on...:lol:

Well, what can I say? Thats true too.
Perhaps give the GC fighter what the Blood Dragon has now in terms of stats, nerf the BD a bit because of its size compared to the GC fighter (I assume its smaller) and then nerf them both to fit with the rest of Sirius.
Nerf fever! Dance to the nerf!
Also, Jinx, the answer is in Kuraines post in their GC feedback thread..
