Because everyone seems to ignore the question asked before: Where are they going to get the resources to develop the ships and then build them? The Gaians are a small faction when compared to some of the heavy-hitters of Sirius so... heh... break the lore much?
indeed, how can a bounch 'o university hippies make a warship.... i know sairs is helping, and kusari too, but they cant possibly have enough resources to spare to make BOTH a cruiser/destroyer class AND a gunboat.... its just too little "resources" that they, inRP, would be able to gather
no worries - gaians extract raw materials out of the corpses of gaian wildlife - using a sophisticated method of boiling and some secret ingredients.
for real - these are a projection of an ongoing process of "what things might look like..." - and it appears i ll need to write stuff like "these are not going to be added into the game" more boldly.
everyone knows that gaians will not get any type of larger warships. - at least not until some groundbreaking changes are done to the factions as a whole.
anyway - these ships were meant to be next generation BHG warships for the rather retro looking current ones ( except the mako ) - they just happened to become larger versions of the gaian VHF ( as seen in my current sig ) - so they are now presented as gaian warships.
and its really not necessary to discuss logic or resource gathering here.

i vote for a size 7 red colored font screaming "THIS ISNT FOR ADDING TO THE MOD, KAY?" to get the message through better.:D
' Wrote:these are of course not to be put in the game as regular ships in this shape or any altered shape - that should be crystal clear.
the cruiser follows vanilla lines by adding "stuff" to it. - so it adds a copy of the bulk section in a reversed manner - and six more engines - making it appear a lot heavier. oh - and it also gets an observation lounge - cause.... everyone loves observation lounges.
on a serious note - the ships i wish to replace in 4.86 are already uploaded, so there s not much to do - until balancing and bugfixing starts.
do i sense a ME 2 reference there regarding lounges?:D
also, theres actually quite a bit to do, just not much regarding ship design. im not sure if i have your correct skype (infact, i have like 2 versions of it), but if you get time, log on, and you'll be able to see what needs doing.
