I thought about it... I saw someone requesting a Rogue / Molly Frigate, there is also the Salvager Frigate... Now People I don't mean Frigates as in "Transport" damn it. Real Frigates, now you probably gonna ask how and stuff, mix something between a gunboat and a destroyer (something in the middle). The Nomad Gunboat has Nomad Turrets which have a refire rate of 2.00 and make 1650 hull damage, I thought about weapons like that for the Frigate. How about the Frigates having a Hull between 160k - 180k and a Mixed up Gunboat - Cruiser Shield? Maybe even a NEW category for Frigates. Discovery has potential and actually a free place for this . How about that Idea?
Statistics like this:
Quote:For IDs:
Can use Fighter, Bomber, Freighter, Transporter, Gunboat, Frigate
- Turrets with 2.00 refire rate and a hull damage of ~1800 and shield damage of ~900 (a mix of Destroyer turrets and Gunboat Turrets)
-Turrets with 3.03 refire rate and a hull damage of ~1100 and shield damage of ~500 (a mix of Destroyer turrets and Gunboat Turrets)
-Hull around 160k - 180k
-Shield a mixed up one between Gunboat and Cruiser shield
Nomad Turret Statistic: Hull:1,650 Shield:825 Refire Rate:2.00 Speed:1,450 Range:826 Power Used:5,600 Rot Rate:95 Hull dmg per sec.:3,300 Shield dmg per sec:1,650 Power usage per sec:11,200 Hitpoints:40,000
A poor man's cruiser, also acceptable for Pirate IDs.
Gunboat shield, five cruiser turrets and a light powerplant. One heavy slot.

Pirate ID gets freedom. They do not also need Cruiser-Gunboat hybrids, definitely not.
LFs, HFs, VHFs, SHFs, freighters, transports, bombers, and gunboats are MORE than enough for piracy.
As for the idea itself, it's not bad, but- who would get ships like that? Every faction that gets them would need someone to model, skin, and code the whole thing. Not to mention balance.
I'm not saying it's a bad idea, but do we really need another class between GBs and cruisers?
Again I find myself moving a thread of yours out of the Ship Submission area. This is being moved to Mod General. Please post in the Ship Submission area if you wish to contribute ship models and files pertaining to them.
Mh. Transports with cruiser guns? 'm thinking... no. We already have the Destroyer class as light cruisers (mostly, LSC should be a destroyer and that Bret thing should be a cruiser, seems their names got a bit mixed up in vanilla). The only frigate we have ingame is a more heavily armed transport. Which would suggests that the battletransies (Shire/Akegata/Bison/Uruz) are essentially frigates.
Wide awake in a world that sleeps, enduring thoughts, enduring scenes. The knowledge of what is yet to come.
From a time when all seems lost, from a dead man to a world, without restraint, unafraid and free.
Mostly retired Discovery member. May still visit from time to time.
Could they hope for GB turrets in the near future then?
