Alas the image of what ever the ship is ment to be is not there for me to see. Is it possible that you have a hyper link to the ship concept somewhere Jinx?
This is truely awsome jinx. I really love how contains elements of liberty, rhienland, and kusari while remaining Awsome enough to be a harvester ship.
I really hope that this gets implemented. I am also willing to help test it for you.

Maybe a name change :: Instead of Harvester...use Alien AI.
Thus making Alien AI drone, Alien AI gunboat and Alien AI cruiser.
The reason for this is I been talking to someone, who reminded me that anything the Harvesters wants on it's wish list......has to be made more generic .
Harvester as a faction, lives on the Discovergc game server. Anyone else that has install and running the Discovergc MOD, probably doesn't know what a Harvester is.
Besides the humans, nomads are pretty much the only aliens or 'other' in the game.
The infocard of the AI Drone and Cruiser , reads that : Within the inhumanly complex plating of this mysterious vessel pulses the life of a sentient machine. Cradled amidst miles of gossamer wiring a swirling maelstrom of electronic information is processed to form the mind, and control the body, of this delicate life as it seeks, and fights, to establish its own place amongst the stars.
With delicate sensory equipment ensconced within the vastly greater hardened shell, this frame has been primed to trespass far beyond the confines set by the limited maze of jump holes and gates crossing Sirius.
---the look of the ship, and info card pretty much gives the impression that No Humans created it. The ship is alive and made of cosmic material --born from the stars and Unknown Other Lifeforms.
Even Artifacts have clues that there are more things in the universe : Remnants of an alien civilization that existed long before humanity crawled from the ocean. The particulars of each individual Artifact vary, but archeologists and scientists have been unable to determine their function; for all intents and purposes they appear to be inert chunks of crystal and metal inscribed with decorative patterns. A thriving market for Artifacts has sprung up over the years among art collectors and the social elite looking for a new status symbol.
This would give players the choice of playing the normal humans, nomads, alien AI.
Who knows...maybe in a few years, Primus will have a playable Ape Race.

I like the drone Drone size.
The ship your currently working on would be great if it was indeed as a Gunboat, not a bigger drone.
Or did I read the posts completely wrong?
The wings, guns and spikes are awsum. Big green ''Loc Nar'' globe in the center---Awsum.
Just finished watching Heavy Metal...just now...Hmmm.
That is very awesome gunboat. I love the sponsons and the engine effect, but Maiko is right. "The snack that smiles back" did hit my mind as well.
This will be a wonderful alternative to the Imperator gunboat I am currently flying.
"THE HULL HAS BEEN BREACHED AND THESCIENCEIS LEAKING OUT!"
If the forward gun tracking speed could be upped to cross the firing arc rather rapidly, I think that would be muchly nice. /razorwhore
I'm imagining two Razors, two Pulses, and a missile on the back, plus the cannons.
