Correction for those who are very confused or mistaken:

The Inferno: Release 1 model of the Alves had 8 gunbanks, split into 2 groups of 4. Meanwhile, it had 2 missilebanks made up of groups of 6 missileports.

What you are seeing in this lovely WIP are waaaayyy bigger missilebanks with underslung gunbanks, which match up with the old model. Regardless, it'll make older fighters look like a pushover and send Shivans running back to their capital ships!  :p

/Cheers self for studying the old model and being a smart cookie  :D

Uh, we were talking about the Keres, which is a different fighter entirely.

The Keres was an ugly fighter in the aesthetic sense. It was a pure guns platform, possessing none of the finesse and flair of the Alves. Kinda like a micro-Lindos...

Yeah well, back when I was playing INFR1, I still held the view that the best ships have more guns on them. It stuck for about five years, and even now, it's still a bit sticky.

In comparison to every other fan-made FreeSpace ship, however, the Keres doesn't have the most gun banks. That (dis)honour goes to what you once called the Shait.

Shait or Shai?

I'm pretty sure it's Shai, but "GVF ****e" has a ring to it. But the thing was, the Shai was designed for a special weapon in OTT that was designed to spew huge volumes of shots that individually did very little damage.

Talk about more dakka.

I bet it didn't have secondaries, to balance it out, right?

Secondary capacity is unknown, but it has two banks.

For balance, it could've had flimsy armor (which it looks like it does have) or medicore weapon energy, allowing it to fire one shot before having to recharge.
Ask Woomeister for details.

It was balanced out by its special "Sandqueen" weapon that was much weaker on a per-shot basis than other primaries. Those huge gun banks did not take normal guns.

Well you're a bit late for asking for comments on that now since that image was included in the announcement website, which was a month ago.

Apparently, it hasn't been noticed that much... and I added it to ModDB yesterday. ;)

Actually, ModDB is the best place for that. It couldn't get any updates recently because I was away, but as you can see there's a lot of new stuff there, now. :)

Looking at the size comparison of the Lonchos and Aetna, I think if the stripes around the canopy are going to stay, they should be the same dull low-visibility grey and blue the Aetna is using, it looks a lot better and fitting than the blueberry candycane stripes the Lonchos is using.
