Title: You pick....
Post by: Thorn on May 31, 2002, 07:28:45 pm: Alright, In celebration of... uhh.. my graduating in 3 weeks.. wait.. I dont need a reason! Screw you! I'm going to release a ship, one of these 5 ships, You guys pick which one you want.... I'll close this poll in 2 weeks, release the ship a week later. This is the last ship we will be releasing before we release the first portion of the actual mod.

1. Kushan "Blade Mk. 5" Heavy Interceptor - Fast, lightly armored, one primary weapon (twin rapid fire mass driver), no secondary.
2. Bentusi Trading Station - Mothership class, slow, extremely powerful. Three Heavy-Rapid fire Ion Cannons mounted vertically along the front.
3. Infected Kushan Strike Carrier - Slow, little offensive capabilites of its own. Only a few deck guns mounted in vital areas for defense. Infection beam. Can launch up to Frigate class vessels and dock fighters and corvettes.
4. Kadeshi Advanced Swarmer - Incredibly fast, short range fighter. Four powerful rapid fire mass drivers, no secondary.
5. Turanic "Assassin" Ion Array Frigate - Comparable to a Firelance or Sajuuk Cor Ion Frigate. One forward firing Ion Cannon. Very narrow field of fire, the whole ship must be turn to change the firing angle. The Assassin's cannon is slightly faster firing, though slightly less powerful than its Kushan and Taiidan cousins.

Title: You pick....
Post by: Redfang on June 01, 2002, 04:42:54 am: Bentusi Trading Station, it looks nice, and is big and powerful. ;7
Title: You pick....
Post by: Nuclear1 on June 01, 2002, 09:44:25 am: Actually Bentusi ships move quite quickly.... Inertialess drive. :D

Still, I like either the Mk.5 "Blade" Interceptor or the Kushan "Empress" carrier........ ah hell.... the Carrier! :D

EDIT: Not much point for the Swarmer if you can't exploit its main weakness ;7

Post by: Grug on June 08, 2002, 06:18:11 am: mmmm ships... ;)
Title: You pick....
Post by: Nuclear1 on June 08, 2002, 10:06:24 am: Bentusi ships move fast enough to catch up with fighters (hmmm.... me thinking HW, not Cata) :D

Their guns were lesser than they were in Cata. Basically had to position itself perfectly before even thinking about shooting a corvette. :mad:
Title: You pick....
Post by: StyffyDawgIX on June 10, 2002, 02:10:17 pm: lol yes thorn....if you've ever played HW you know they can move vurrraaaaaa fast

Post by: Skippy on June 12, 2002, 12:11:26 pm: The Bentusi Station is going to win :D

Title: You pick....
Post by: demon442 on June 13, 2002, 01:58:40 am: Kadeshi Advanced Swarmer all the way!
Title: You pick....
Post by: Kazashi on June 13, 2002, 09:14:16 am: I'd like to see the Bentusi Trading Station thanks. Those things are great, in fact all Bentusi ships are

*lapses into flashback about fighting 4 Stations plus fighter complement in an engagement similar to Vorlons vs Sheridan's alliance*

Post by: WMCoolmon on June 13, 2002, 10:50:28 pm: Babylon 5 reference? Arggh!! :eek:
Title: You pick....
Post by: Kazashi on June 14, 2002, 09:31:24 am: Oh boo hoo, it's an easy way to express that I was getting my ass kicked in both numbers and power :p

But it was a memorable moment. BTW, have I mentioned that I would like to see the Bentusi Trading Station finished?
Title: You pick....
Post by: elorran on June 15, 2002, 10:06:47 am: Well apparently the Bentusi don't seem to like bondage, they won't be bound so I'm told.

So because we can't keep them tied up, they keep stealing the near finished mods and flying off. We're despirately working on a way to solve this but it may take some time.

So until we can solve the missing mods and bondage problems I'm afraid their will be no bentusi tradeship.

Sorry :D
