Small Transport Solaris

[Kazinsal]

So a while back I was playing with an Armoured Transport. The only problem I found with it was that the full-size turrets were way oversized for the model. "No problem," I said to myself. "I'll just get small turrets!"

And purchase those small turrets I did. But I felt like I was missing something...

Transport Solarises.

Well, here's the thing. The Solaris turrets are full-sized, not available in small form, which looks ugly as hell on small transports. I've also noticed the same problem on other small transports like the Behemoth (which, ironically, is tiny). The Solaris turrets are just so damn huge compared to the ship.

I like my Solarises.

Could we PLEASE have small-scale Solaris turrets in 4.86? It's just an aesthetic thing, but it would be really nice to have them.

Same thing with cerbs and pulses. Just genericize them, though, as we don't have a Solaris cap turret variation for each faction and so forth.

Cheers,
--Troy

true, prevents me from flying the Percheron as well, huge turrets on that are ugly.
i personally wouldn't care if they small turrets threw away their house graphics and just became smaller versions of the normal turrets with the same stats.

The 'small transport turrets' all currently have the same stats as type 3 transport turrets, even though their individual infocards claim that they're pulse turrets, hullbusters, solaris, etc. etc.

Someone messed up the stats, or forgot to change the infocards when those stats were changed.

There is an Actual Transport Solaris gun out there? If that is true, where are they found at?

[Kazinsal]

The Type 4 is usually called the transport Solaris because of its higher refire and lower damage output (similar to a cap Solaris).

My \CS\ AT it missing the two back turrets and one of the lower turrets for this very reason.

I need to deal some damage, but they just look ridiculous.
Tat said, it still looks like it's wearing a hat. :|

While I'm here, CHANGE AT TURRET PLACEMENT

this is how transport solaris turret looks like...model isnt huge like vanilla transport turrets, but its somewhat larger then small turrets...it should fit on all smaller transports fine....




in size comparison to other small turrets you can see its real size...

[Kazinsal]

Throw the transport 2.00 model into that comparison. Betcha everything's scaled.

no it isn't scaled...this is their real size compared to each other...vanilla turrets are more then double in size compared to these....i said the should fit to most transports, but since their size vary a lot some will always look strange with one of these mounted...

[Kazinsal]

It appears Solaris turrets are about 1/3 the size of Iron Hammer turrets.
