yes, you've all seen it in Transcend. The GTSC Plato

Spoiler:

AKA Silent Eye

Availabe here, and at Hades Combine.

*prepares for the worst*

[NGTM-1R]

Huh. Lots of differences from the Faustus that weren't apparent ingame...

[Cobra]

care to explain, please?

[NGTM-1R]

The color changes, for example, are not immediately obvious when you see it ingame.

[TopAce]

Good reskin. Is this your first texture work?

[Cobra]

not just a reskin, my friend.

my first actual MOD, made a couple of years ago. meant to release it to the public, but never did.

[StratComm]

There's something wrong with its propellor

[Cobra]

eh, that's not the MOD, that's the original model screwing up.

it only appears in Modelview though. wonder why...

[Nuclear1]

I like the look of it, but am I the only one to find it... odd, that a science vessel has better anti-capital ship armaments than a Fenris? Three anti-cap slashers, that's nearly as much as a Deimos in terms of hitting power.

[Cobra]

it's meant to be used in the front lines, and it can also be used as a modified faustus used for pirate purposes.

[Kosh]

I can kind of see the anti-fighter beams and the flak turrets (the faustus in the first SOC loop had those), but anti-capital ship beams are simply out of the question. They take up a lot of space and have huge power requirements (hence why a Deimos only has 4 of them, the Hecate also has 4, etc).

Plus why should a science vessel be able to outgun an Aeolus in terms of capital ship firepower?

[Cobra]

ok fine, 1 anti-c beam.

[Kosh]

That's still a lot of firepower for such a small ship.

[FireCrack]

Hecate has 5 beams, 3 slash, 2 Bgreen

Wrong. It has only 1 BGreen and 3 slash. Check the tables if you don't believe me.

Well, there are five beams, though four are slashes and one is a BGreen.

If a science vessel should have beams, I don't see any reason to add more than a LTerSlash, since it is mounted on a Fenris, and probably is more energy efficient, since the science vessel also has a laboratory or two to keep operational, not to mention its solar panel, etc.

That's pretty wank for a Destroyer isn't ?

[WMCoolmon]

I hope the solar panel would provide more energy than it uses to spin.

[Cobra]

unless it's got a very wide fire arc, makig it a very capable destroyer. (if you play Starfleet Command, you would know. )

[FireCrack]

Wel that's just ghey, i was expecting the rear beam to be a bgreen, owell.

That is damn wank for a destroyer, hell, because of the placement of the beams i'd say it has LESS firepower than a deimos in most arcs. (the deimos has terslashes right?)
