' Wrote:How about giving it a powerplant to fire three mini razors, but not a supernova? I don't know the power values of the weapons, so I don't know whether that's possible.
It would be able to damage gunboats, bombers and light transports pretty well. It'd be unique, but could be unbalanced in jousting situations.
no, too much overpowerd...
best settup should be 2 torpedos 1 TCD or 1 torpedo, TCD, minirazor....
Yes. And while the idea of torpedoes was the original one, that was due to pure boredom. Anyone with better idea for a ship perhaps the size of barghest, kusari build, and... with mechanised abilities?
I'm sure somebody already suggested this a while back, but here goes: Why not give it custom mech weapons and missiles?
It could have... four weapon mounts apart from the three torp slots, which'd mount two Battle Mech Lasers and two Battle Mech Missile turrets, the torp slots could be filled with two battlemech assault missiles (same stats as sunslayers) and one razor like mech gun called a blaster or something.
Obviously this would cripple it in the CD role, but it's suposed to be a specialised ship anyway, so maybe it'd be a good idea?
I like it alot actually, in keeping with the mechanized aspects of it though I's say keep the torp launchers (on the ground they'd be like cruise missiles) and give it something like, four special class 10 guns that are semi-codie like, but fire faster.
Agility would be something like a SHF, and it would have class 10 shields, or better yet the lightest transport shield.
That way it would most definitely be an assault craft, able to handle fighters fairly well as long as it could joust, and on the ground it would fit into the support role of a tank.

Or it could be a slightly big larger than the chimera or a bit smaller than the bomber, to give it a more /tank/ like appearance.
You could post a small cannon thing coming out of it's mouth, not too long, but could be either a slot for a torp, or we could make a custom gun.
If its going to be a tank <which i kinda like, start a revolution!> then it should have a primary weapon. More like a hull killer, less on shields? Is that even possible? I seem to remember that you can't increase the hull damage more than 50% of the shields damage, or sommat like that.
