next generation assault cruiser/destroyer

[Jinx]

edit: updated with a skinned version:

current stats :

hitpoints: 315.000 ( like the siege cruiser )
agility: like the BHG destroyer
size: same size like the current LABC
weaponry:
- 10 lvl9 turrets
- 2 siege cruiser forward cannons

powerplant: 3.600.000 ( BC powerplant )

a real hunter - while it still features no thruster - it can unleas a twin siege cruiser blast for 1.4 million energy doing 180k x2 ( 360.000 ) damage. - and it can fire twice quickly - only... it takes ages to replenish the energy afterwards... not to mention - there s not much room for other weapons then.


upon testing ... i attacked a NPC liberty dreadnought patrol and ... well... i immedietly got blown to pieces trying to line it up.... <--- overconfidence in a powerful weapon can be fatal.

its a fun ship right now

edit: btw. - i scaled it so that the pilot on the bridge matches the size of a fighter. - turns out the ship is like 5% smaller than the current LABC then.

Shipdesigns made for DiscoveryGC

This is actually really cool.
It looks exactly like I'd think Libertonian ships would look in the future. (Although maybe more than a century, plenty of ships we currently fly are older than that. Technology doesn't move incredibly fast.)

The bridge is my favourite part, it's bootyfull.

Great design, but I would say it is too advanced for the Navy (There is a missing link between the current one and this...)
But maybe use it as a Spyglass replacement?

I love the bridge details - NICE JOB Jinx!!

[Akura]

It's a sure nice thing to replace the current, ugly old thing.

[Seth Karlo]

Woah, that is NICE. I wish we could replace it with the current one, but I think you're right Jinx, it's too advanced looking for Freelancer:(

Signature by Sleipnir.

[schlurbi]

Well...we could actually use it. Maybe an unfinished one of those at Juneau.

It is a great Model. Actually a Shame if it wouldnt be use. Also it is a great Idea to create advanced Ships, like a new Version of the Templar, Guardian or Dragon. But I see a lot of people moaning about "This doesnt look like Freelancer"

"Who is it doing this synthetic type of alpha beta psychedelic funkin'?"

[Boss]

Make it looks older if possible, replace Spyglass?

Love it.

Just go play the game and have fun dammit.

all in all the conclusion is that disco doesn't need antagonist factions, it doesn't need phantoms, it doesn't need nomads, it doesn't need coalition and it doesn't need many other things, no AIs, the game is hijacked by morons to confuse the game with their dickwaving generic competition games mixed up with troll-of-the-day.

[kuth]

Be ashamed not to use such a amazing model.

I love how people say 'doesn't look freelancerish.' Can we define what freelancerish is? Really?

This does indeed look advanced, but who is to say it cannot be RP'd as having been a classified project in the works for awhile now?

I like it.
Or,it has the possibility of being the "LSF Recon / Research" platform......joint Navy/LSF venture for design......just an idea.
