i would support a new design if you feel unhappy with the current one. - reason for that is... if you replace it, no one gets hurt ... so who cares.
but be aware:
you will NOT get :
- a small
- durable
- high firepower
- high agility
- lots of powercore
- and all the other good things ...
-ship. - any new ship would be balanced accordingly.... and quite frankly. the current necrosis is a FAR stretch. if it was about me, it would be MUCH closer to the "average" battlecruiser without lvl8 turret options etc. - that is not cause i wanne be mean or that i want you do loose.
but i HATE the argument "i need it cause i m being attacked by an overwhelming force" - i DO know its true... but its true for so many players so many times, and we would laugh at them if they asked for better gear to make up for it.
so if you got a new ship - you must be aware ... it WILL get balanced. - i am also for "special factions" to loose the better gear "cause they are ganked all the time" - for heavens sake, if one is annoyed at being ganked, one doesn t join such factions.
but in general - yes, i would always support the ambition to get a new model. anything that supports the roleplay is fine - but don t ask for special treatment in terms of balance or equipment.
dreygon contact me trough PM and send me some drawing of design you had in mind...then we will take it from there...
Ship replacement is an option as well and change of class if desired. You just write up nice story about ship being destroyed and i will make you another one...all shiny and new...
Regardless of polotics, I'd be happy to model the ship for you. Only, I'm not too good at designing large sized ships, but if you had like a diagram or something I could easily turn it into a model.
Regardless of whether or not it gets in is redundant. There's that risk with most, if not all ships developed for the mod. We could possibly even rebalance the current Necrosis and turn it into a faction ship for someone, if we're going to make Dreygon a new Necrosis. The Huntress needs replacing... right?

That's a good point, just fit it somewhere into the RP that the new necrosis is somehow obtained from the phantoms, and use the opportunity to replace the huntress at the same time.
Ehhh...Dray...just a hint, I know you got the thing because you were "Ganked" and believe me, with Dgahr, my own special roleplay thing, I went from a GB to a bomber for that very reason.
Its interesting to me that the name "Necrosis" has always conjured visions of the Necris style from Unreal Tournament-III, which by the by if you made it a hint blacker and more free-lancer-ish could almost apply to the Phantoms as a design feel.
*shrugs* just a stylistic thought.
On the other two issues;
1; Custom ships, they are not such a bad thing. In-fact I'd go so far as to say that they are a very very good thing that adds yet another rich layer to the Discovery universe.
I personally enjoy the idea that somewhere out there is someone with a ship that neither I, nor anyone else can posses, a ship that is famous, or infamous as the case may be, and simply recognizable by its shape.
2; If the current Necrosis must be re-used, Id suggest modifying it. The original first one was supposed to be a unique ship as I understand it.
So its understandable if it was loosely based on a heretofore unencountered ship, or if some faction saw the wreck and partially stole the design, but I'd be against utterly destroying the uniqueness of the original Necrosis.
