Does anyone else miss the old Kaichou (i.e. Taiidan Bomber)?
It was one of my favourites, and I miss it dearly. Is there any way it could possibly be reintroduced? Maybe as a generic Civilian ship? Or as a Renzu company model, seeing as thats where all the other Homeworld ships have gone.
Hey hey, no stick beating! This is a stick-beating free thread, for serious ship discussion.
That said, I base most of my ship choice on the look because in my mind the performance of 80% of a class of ships tends to be about the same, with only a few being significantly better or worse. And even when its an actual downgrade, I'll still fly it if I like the feel of it, which is why I'm using a Charon right now instead of an Eagle or a Talon :mellow:
I'd love to see more 'planey' looking ships like the Taiidan bomber, the Havoc, the Eagle, etc. If I ever got a shot at making a ship line, I'd take sexy-proven designs like modern fighter jets and spaceify them up until they didn't look out of place.
