Ship Design
Loadout idea


Dislikes:

Textures (the points on the end of the ship that look like claws. Too much metal grey, needs more glow red/black. Grey almost makes it seem terran)

Speed (110 with beams?!?! even if it is an afterburner..jeeze)

Type (Medium bomber? I think Gunship suits it better. )

Questions:

how powerful are the beams?
How big is it?

34 meters in length, the beams are heavier than aaaf but lighter than slashers

I totally agree. Too grey for a shivan ship.

well at this point, I'm guessing its not really open for discussion, but if it were me, I'd slow it down 5 m/s or so and give it an after burn of 100m/s. After all, 65 is faster than a herc.

Unless this is supposed to be some uber bomber thats overly powerful for game affect ;7

Lets just say that Light takes place some years after the Capella incident, and the Shivan ships you'll encounter won't be any of those old antiques you saw in FS1 or FS2, oh no, these will be a tad bit more 'modern' in terms of Shivan technology.

Also keep in mind that you won't be flying a herc, but interceptors and superiority fighters ;)

That is the best fan-made Shivan bomber, or fighter for that matter, that I've ever seen.  Truly awesome..

Title: too slow!
Post by: TrashMan on February 28, 2003, 11:03:19 am

If you ask me all ships in FS2 were too slow. A interceptor going 100? A bomber barely reaching 45? Heavy fighters were barely moving!

No light fighter/interceptor should go below 100-160
Heavy fighters 80-100 (maby 120)
bombers 60-80

cruisers 40-50
corvettes 30-40
destroyers 25-30
battleships/dreadnoughts 20 - 25

Well, that's my 2 cents!
