so - before anyone moans "oh - not another revision of a ship that doesn t need one..."
a word in advance, - i m totally sick of all the people comparing the gaian GB with a fallus - so thats why its a revision. ( in my opinion - people thinking of a penis when they see the gaian GB are somewhat unstable.... )
so - this model avoids the pronouncement at the nose of the ship - and adds a few more details ( to keep it kusari style as its intended to be - but still a very modern looking ship )
i have also changed the cockpit to the "orca" style - which means that its a "fightercockpit" instead of a window skin.
the ship goes well with the new VHF - and can use the same hitbox it uses right now ( which is a larger kusari GB hitbox ) - so while it may look larger - especially from the front - its not really larger ... same box.
edit: i do like the current one a little more - designwise - but after so many ppl complained about its shape - this one may satisfy more ppl - if you still see a fallus in it - i suggest mental care.
edit2: this is the ship submission section - not flood... its only there to inform you about an upcoming change - unless the NLH shows genuine concern about the design / replacement ( since they are the only official faction )
I like it, it's a grand improvement of the old Gunpenis.
I think the overall ship could do with shrinking though, a new hitbox or just scaling it down. If you look at the Claymore, it's massive, like, more than twice the size of the Kusari Gunboat.
@akka: - its a medium sized gunboat even now - the cockpit may need to be a little larger though - yes
@Lukas: the heatsinks on the bow may be a little too much, indeed - i ll check how they look skinned - if its not satisfactory - i ll remove them.
@Araul: i don t care what people don t like it about the current one - its just annoying like hell to deal with people in their growing pains that giggle at the mention of a sexual organ - yet see it everywhere.
@Elven: they re bretonian - but their GB is kind of founded / jointly build with kusari engeneers ( thats less involvement than official involvement ( like converende and hathor ) - but still more than their bretonian roots ) - bretonia is unlikely to assist them in shipbuilding - kusari may be - cause the gaians offer very little threat to them - even when kusari gained bretonia ( or so it appears )
@seth : yes - but its still annoying sometimes - now the really good thing about this ship is - that the kusari GB box fits it - no more additional work to do.
