@ pipsqueak: Sorry must have missed that, did a search and came up dry as well. Could you PM me a link to the thread?
@ Dreygon: Like I said, the idea was not really mine for the the "space tank". I did not intend to offend or steal your idea. Honestly I failed to do research into the original concept developed in your thread. Big "oops" on my part. Looking into it, the idea I had for it was more in lines w/ Dopaminos suggestion of a light fighter w/ one big gun. Only mine would have other guns and be larger. Well thinking about it now, probably should not have started a second thread for it. :$
@ Epyon the Bored: Well if Igiss does not want anymore fixed guns, both these concepts are pretty much scrapped. If you find his post a link would be apreciated.
If it is true what Epyon says, than there is no real purpose for this thread. Further discussion of the space tank should be made in the thread linked above by Dreygon. The side launching gunboat/cruiser would be pointless to develope if it had no practical aplication. From the sounds of it, current ships can outfly and out gun the concept craft.
Anywho, more ideas/posts for the side shooting gunship/cruiser can still be posted here if fixed guns are still allowed...

sorry i didn't mean to sound like you offended me. i was just adding the info i had put forth in the other post. when you posted it, it seemed to get a better response than when i did it.
This is a photoshop job as I suck at 3Ds Max. Lat ship I made looked like a decapitated chicken.
it is a fattened up rhino with added BH parts. I posted it earlier, so Ignore if you have already seen it. so the wire frames should fit it good, not sure about the appendages.
DoH! I remember that now. I like the asymetrical design, and I could put that on my list of thing to do. I'll hit it after I finish a) Leviathan, b) mystery corsair transport, c) mystery outcast transport, and d) mystery gunboat for a faction that may be getting a bomber from me already and have a fondness for naming their ships after fish... Hmmm, I may have said too much (in one sentance).
So after I finish said ships I will seriously concider this. Thanks for the idea and support!
