[WIP] SF Knight
Droid803:
The other one just looks like that smaller ship used as a reference and scaled up, though...not very interesting.
And is this some sort of joke, because that looks pretty...half-assed, sitting in uh, square braces and all. :P
I think what would work better is if you took the old one and integrated slightly smaller versions of these into the "wings", replacing the fighterbays (because this are bootleshap, not career). Possibly following:
[19:54] <Vaktezraj> it'd be better if it were limited to a 160ยบ FoF, if it were set into a slight recess in the hull
Flak:
1 big beam in the center, rather than 2 odd 'smaller' ones on the sides.
AndrewofDoom:
I think the consensus is that there is no consensus. :P
But I am flexible about it. I'll just wait for more opinions to come flooding in. At first I did like the two super honking big beams but now I'm teetering all over the place. The thing I do know is that I wanted it to have at least 360 degrees (or very close to 360 degrees) of beam coverage for the turret on at the very least one axis. You know, so it doesn't have to turn around to aim its beams at the target. "Iron wall of Humanity" and all. Ain't gonna budge for you, pal (Unless you're right behind me). That stuff?
That was the special stand out trait I wanted it to be from an otherwise simply overgrown Challenger or Crusader with hangar facilities.
Just mulling over my thoughts now. Some of the ideas I'm getting.
* Just go with the original idea that I had first posted. (Knight as a battlecarrier)
* Get rid of the hangars. Give me MOAR BEAMZ. (Knight as a battleship)
* Put a big beam in the front and keep the rest as originally planned. (More or less a variant of 1)
* Downsize the hangar bays and attach BEAMZ on the side pods instead. (Knight as I originally originally planned, except not aesthetically. Mostly battleship with reserve fighters for self-defense and to resupply and repair nearby allied fighters).
If more than anything, I want to hear Spoon's thoughts on this.
Commander Zane:
While I like the first version, it would make sense to go with the second option if the Knight was described and planned as a battleship, with the fourth option as a compromise.
Dragon:
It should have a small scout/shuttlebay, though. WWII battleships carried seaplanes, modern ones (well, Iowas in their operational configuration) carried helos. So it makes sense for a battleship to carry a few scout fighters or shuttles.
