Are there any good gunboat-type models? What I'm talking about here are ships that are larger than a bomber, but smaller than frigates. They're basically designed for escort and attack missions, and are player controllable.

How big is it?

Does it have several turrets?

How many gun points?

How many secondary bays?

 
And what the HECK is that called?

Is it just me or is there only one pilot in that cockpit? I can't see how viable such a large ship would be without at least one co-pilot...  :doubt:

Plus there's probably a good few men in that large hull.

 
Plus a lot of automation.

K, just checkin'. Still, only two pilots to control that beast? Shouldn't there be at least three?

Damn, you beat me to it!

Plus a lot of automation.

LOL.... btw has anyone had problems with staying logged in on photobucket, especially with opera?

I can log in ok, usually upload ok, but when i go to change a page, it logs me out and asks for the password.

You can't handle the truth!

Or did you say a good few?

 
I can dig this model, though I would like to make it a sort of stealth gunboat. Remove two pairs of gunpoints and the chin turret. Can you give me this model and if you do, can I have permission to modify it as such? I pretty much intend it for personal usage anyways.

By the way, is it possible to make the torpedo bay default equipped with Fusion Mortars?

You can grab it right now, http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,45276.msg937917.html#msg937917
You'll also need to grab this file: http://scoobydoo.freespacemods.net/Finished_Mods/Additional-09-26-07.rar

Extract the following map files from the additional vp file (this is what pcs2 reported used) (all in maps folder):
0-flak1
glass
extras
tercoc01
fturret1

You'll want to go in and edit the table entry for it.  Replace the missiles/guns with what you want.

Cheers. Are there any more gunships? Something more like a Terran or Vasudan style.

 
When you say 'player controlled gunboat', I'm confused. As far as I know, when a player controls a ship the turret fire at the player's target (many a manticore died in fs1 from the wrath of my Ursa's turret. lol). Meaning that a ship with a lot of primaries would probably be better. Doesn't one of the Inferno fighters fit that bill?
