Order Gunboat

[Nightwind]

I can't wait to see some shots with the new texture... :)

[Jinx]

here are ingame captures - and a choice.....

this is taken in omega-49 ( bright white / blue light ) ... the skin is a dark BW, blueish steel. as you can see its quite dark even in one of the brightest systems in disco.

alternatively - i have also tried a greenish, mossy tone...

taken in omicron-lost ( neutral lightsource, dark ) - the colour is a dark bronze.

on the lowet picture you can also see or at least estimate the current size. ( see the turrets )

personally - i like the upper version a bit more. the blueish steel fits into the capital ship fleet ( the new ones ) - the lower pictures colour fits a bit more to the anubis - which is a dusty dark grey colour.

order gb with borderworld textures....interesting

the 256 BW skin has some good parts that fit well onto the model - much better than the liberty skin. - thats somewhat why i decided to use it instead of liberty.

since the ship would be somewhat developed by the zoners - looking different from the other order ships shouldn t really be a great problem.

Hm... are you sure u want those bright highlights? Engines and so on?
It's a little bit too bright IMO...

I don't know if you would still change the model, but what do you think about an enlarged top fin, to make it look more similar to the fighters?

ahh - the bright highlights are caused by photoshop replacing some of the skin with a pure white. - they are quite bright - but not that bright ( the lower picture shows how bright they are ) - the only parts changed in the lower picture are the BW skin ( bronze ) and the wingets in the front ( dark tan ) - all other parts are untouched.

about a top fin. - it won t fit to the model.

The blue-ish texture would make more sence and it looks better too.

but based on that certain color scheme and parts of the model, it seems like a bw gunboat to a certain point. Maybe darker? Other than that, the shades on different parts of the ship match nicely.

when compared with the sabre or the dromedary - it doesn t look very BWish - ( these ships are silvery and glossy - the gunboat is much much darker ( 80% darker ) )

here is the hardpoints i have attached ( that are yet unbalanced ):

- 8 gunhardpoints, 3 on each wing covering the front arch ( each side overlaps the other by 20 degrees ), and they are able to swing to each side they are mounted on and rearwards ( but there is a blindspot straight in the rear ) - and there are always only 3 guns able to fire at a target in its rear + the turrets have to make a full 180 degrees spin until they can fire. - 2 guns can only fire forwards.

- 1 outside shield generator ( instead of in the center of the ship like some other capital ships )
- dual CM ( oopsi - i just realized that i forgot to put that into the goods.ini.... well... make that 1 CM then:P)
- 26 running lights to achieve what every christmas tree dreams of!

armour value is simply copied from the corsair GB [ same with the other stats ] ( these things change anyway - so no point setting something up for it yet )

size is exactly the same like the zoner GB - it also shares the same hitbox

I just proposed thas fin because at the moment your model doesn't seem to have any order characterisics...
But it looks very good...no question

[Jinx]

thats correct - reason for that is that its developed by the zoners ( as a modified zoner gunboat ) - the order is producing it - but thats it then.

and the ooc reason is that it appeared that there were more ppl unhappy with another tube shaped mini osiris than there are with a modified zoner GB.

i know - i should have made something original maybe. - but time is a factor and i thought that it would make some sense in RP to simply get a gunboat version from one of the allies ( especially cause these allies are producing a new warship in 4.85, too )

- well, thats the reasons there is nothing similar to any other order vessel. - all you get is a zoner gunboat that looks a bit more combat worthy and not as comfy as the zoner version. you d have twice as many guns ( from which we ll probably deactivate 2 while balancing hehe )

and i gotto admit - i have no idea what shape might fit to the order in terms of a gunboat other than a larger liberty fighter or a smaller osiris - and both are kinda stupid. - its a shame that legenation gone missing, cause he DID have an original gunboat finished for the order.
