Constructed of composite synth steel layered with thick armour out of a titanium triplated hull alloy, this hardened Zoner transport is used to traverse regions of the borderworlds where diplomacy often takes a back seat to the gun.
Upgraded in the face of heightening galactic tensions, many of the vessels industrial tools were stripped to give way for stronger armament. With these new combat refinements in mind the Zoners took removed the gunboat from its prior place upon the open market, reserving the limited numbers of the newly produced vessel for protection of deep space resupply convoys.
Handling
- This ship is too large to use docking bays, it must use mooring points.

Review (4.85)
The Zoner Gunboat, being one of the most agile gunboats, its main weakness happens to be it's power core and armor. You'll either LOVE or HATE this ship. The power core is high enough to support sustained fire of 6 Basic Gunboat turrets, but does not get good results with 6 Zoner Gunboat Turrets. It's a good ship, although vulnerable from above. This ship suits its main role which is exploring and fighting off minor resistances. In other words, it does a Zoners Job pretty well. Although not completely capable of taking down a group of several ships, it's damn good at looking good. Don't let the stats change your mind. As always: A Ship is only as good as the Captain commanding it. Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Review by Naturalist Fouche |

After it's overhaul with a new, more streamlined appearance. The Conference gunboat is a force to be reckoned with. Despite being primarily used by the Zoners, it is on par in head-to-head action against other gunboats. Two of the turret mounts on the underbelly of the ship can only fire in a 180 degree zone in front of the ship, while the four turrets on it's 'wings' as one might call them, have a full 360 degree area to look. The only downside of this ship, like many other gunboats, is being flanked. Only able to fire two guns upwards, this makes "death from above" apply perfectly to this gunboat. While all four guns on it's underside can fire down, save for the two that can not fire beyond their 180 arc. Otherwise, this vessel is still agile and now well-armed to take other gunboats on in a more direct role. Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Review by Lieutenant |
