I like those beam Clusters very cool:)

[ZylonBane]

I think the front gun is a terrible idea. Its overwhelming resemblance to the A-10's front gun has the inescapable psychological effect of making the entire model seem smaller. It's really weird-- I can look at the model while covering up the gun with my hand, and it seems huge... but as soon as I remove my hand, it just looks like a freaky fighter.

Plus, as pointed out, it's tactically ridiculous. Aside from being an "all your eggs in one basket" approach to turret placement, the heat-dissipation requirements of a cluster like that would be absolutely insane.

IMHO, a better approach would be to have the front of the ship be a large central power core column, with armored emitter pods spaced equidistantly around it.

Ah, after Woollie, Zylon.
How surprising

[ZylonBane]

If an ad hominem defense of that gun is the best you can manage, I think that speaks for itself.

[Sheepy]

well what type of beams are on the front anyway?

I think a whole thread of argument before you poped up is WAY enough to defend it, not gonna start again coz you're late

SSreens should be. BGreens are to powerful for destroyer in one turret and side.
If I want to see this ship in hard combat let he take Sathanas:D

It's a destroyer, there's no way it should be able to take on a sathanas. Well unless it's a destroyer from inferno, that is...

First, WHEN are we gonna get Phase II? I've been drooling over the original pics of it on Hamano's page for months!

  Next,  does the heat sink stuff REALLY matter? Isn't space the ulitmate cooler/heat dissapater?

   I mean with THAT much of the weapon exposed to naked space don't you think it would be cooled rather quickly from that configuration?

Space is actually quite a crap heat sink. Yeah it's cold out there but there is no heat loss through convection or conduction leaving only radiation.

Only the Apothess can take out a Sathanas, and that's only because the Apothess can hit targets far, far, far away.

"It looks cool who carez if it doesnt make sense!" is about the extent of the defense I've seen.

[Nico]

Well deal with it?

[Sheepy]

well as far as i can tell your the only one who has the opinion of the gun makes it look small, is there any other reason you dont like it?

It could do without the Gannett. I don't like them... they wet their nests.

And that about covers it. Last I checked, the game doesn't have any system for managing heat, etc. Sure, you can make some commentary about how it must be this way or that, etc.

The simple fact of the matter is that you're looking for someting to ***** and whine about, like Woolie. If you don't like it, don't use it. No one is forcing you. Really. I won't hold a gun to your head--no matter how much some people might pay me to do so.

You might even comment that you're just providing constructive criticism. Unfortunately, its not terribly constructive, nor is it very critical. Its mostly "OMG IT IS TEH A10!!!!11!!1".

Is there nothing else in KY for you to do? (in preemptive response: no, there's nothing in NC for me to do. If there were, do you think I'd be here?)

[magatsu1]

I think Hamano should drop the Orion mk2 tag. The ship deserves it's own identity, and I'm not big on Orion textures.

That's because it's a game

I personaly think that the clustered beams are cleaver.  But i think that if people are going to cluster big beams like this then all the other turrets should be pin point defence and fighter supresion.  and orian skins can look good if used correctly.  like this has been
