' Wrote:Barrow Scorpions: Scorpion VHF[/b]
..., these ships are kept to top performance thanks to the more shipbuilding nature of cargos passing between the southern borders of Liberty and Rheinland, the Scorpion is a force to be reckoned with.
Three things, first this ships infocard: Cargo between Rheinland and Liberty?
Second: The name scorpion has already been taken by another ship.
And finally, my opinion on the ships themselves: WAAAAAAAG!
Meh. Ke. I hit a cross when I saw the ships:mellow:Just..Yeah. Xenos might be poor ect, but why the old broken down 'imma fall apart on yer head' look? Just ruins the shipline.

' Wrote:My view of the Xenos suppose that, before the Xenos Alliance, each Xenos bases produced their own crafts, an aging version of the civilian craft further modified with whatever scrap (and duct tape?) their mechanics could afford. As such, each base fly - and still fly their own base affiliated gang colors, although Ouray' has been recognized as the official since unification.
I find them splendid personally, furthermore if any Xeno should sniff his nose at one of the custom jobs of the lower classes there's always the shiny, painted, alternative.

Funny, that's the only Xeno ship I've ever wanted to see. A xeno P-trans for hauling goods between bases, smashing incoming trade and ferrying what we need between Zoner freeports and home.
Of course that was before we lost the ability to trade between our bases.

' Wrote:there's no torpedo tube... what you probably mistaken for torpedo tubes are the secondary engine pods, in about the same position they are on the Roc II. the torpedo emplacement would in fact be the on dorsal platform.
Ah, that makes sense.

Don't you mean: WAAAAAAARRG? But, yeah, these will make the Xenos Disco's version of the Orks because of all the purposeless spikes 'n stuff. Whether or not that's a good thing remains to be seen.
EDIT: With the Transport looking the way it does, and with the fact the Firefly's already around, it's only a matter of time before someone starts RPing as a Reaver:P
Those spikes arent purposeless! The xeno transport could be used as a battering ram, smash right through enemy ships and all =P
I'm not sure you've come up with stats or anything for these ships yet, but what if you made the xeno transport here a matchup for the junker salvage frigate? I.e., give it a decent bit of cargo space, say 2000~, around 100-150k hull, transport shields, and 6 gunboat turrets. I'd say remove the cruise disruptor like the salvager though, so it has to be used in groups for piracy purposes.
