Real War Frigates

[BillG8s]

I for one would love to see a ship right between the gunboat and the cruiser (in some way like the battlecruiser are in between the cruiser and battleship class ships).

100 000 - 150 000 in hull
10-14 turrets
4-6 of thoose turrets are to be class 9 while rest class 7
Cruiser Shield
Thruster, Countermeasure (maby not an cruise disruptor)
Energy plant on 800 000 with a regen on 80 000

(with a powerplant like that we avoid the use of heavy cruiser weaponry like the light mortar and cruiser missiles, or alot of cerberus turrets)


I know that no one right now have time to model a couple of frigates for differents factions, but i just could not let this idea only stay in my mind


(the use of more class 7 turrets and 9 is to avoid GB class 8 turrets and the missile spam it would have caused)

i second this...it sounds like a good idea, i would like to see this for pirates though, not just for house lawfuls

The reports of my trying to imitate the revered Michal Golanski are greatly exaggerated...my avatar should prove this.

[4:17:08 PM] Michał Golański: I knew you have some prehistoric backing to kick them in the nuts.

It's an interesting idea, except if they start popping up in the hands of pirates in NY.

A sort of "heavy" gunboat then? I like...

It'd be similar to how the Order Light Carrier is built, blending the different specifics to the ship.

Pop the same rule on it as Cruisers and up, no Transport killin'. To take down a Transport you hardly even need a Gunboat, let alone Cruiser weapons.

sounds like an interesting concept, and with our talent ship designers around im sure they would come up with some very nice models for this class. i second the idea that these ships should fall into the same rule section like cruisers and bs, so no piracy or transport interdiction with it.

I like that you've addressed the GB missile spam issue, but my thinking now is that man, transport turrets are pretty lame! More than lame, they are slow. I would either suggest a LOT of transport turrets (like a gross amount), or just some kind of big and slow GB with cruiser turrets. 150 thruster maybe, but turning lower than all GBs, size bigger than all GBs, GB shield, a few cruiser turrets and beefed up hull.

Damn GB missiles, eh.

Ofc the ship should come under the rules of cruisers and above, no pirateing in it and need for faction guard ID. I really think that it would be nice with a ship that with some trouble can take down a GB and with some luck (well huge ammounts) be able to rival a cruiser for a short while. Even the Corvo cruiser with it's 200 000 in hull and its 8 cruiser turrets would be hard when a Frigate can't use the light mortar or such weapons.

with 4 or 6 cruiser turrets and the rest transport ones i think it be a good mix where u can choose the transport guns to be the slow ones with more dmg or the fast ones that can hit small ships.

There was something about this awhile ago... if I recall correctly.

Id vote for it.

Id probably get it.

[Lutz]

A yes from me. Sounds like a very nice idea. Can wait to see its comin.
