Opinions on ship hulls.

Sun May 18, 2003 7:46 pm by ceylon

I am about to put my mod into it's final stages, and I would like the opinions of the modding forum on something.

I intend to make 1 shipyard in each house sell an empty hull, and all the components to build a ship from the ground up. Equipment will take up cargo space, and so you will be able to build whatever you want. So here's the question.

Which hulls should I recycle as to use as emptys? I need 7.
One for liberty, bretonia, rheinland, kusari, pirate, civilian, and one more.

Which is the best hull from each. I will change the stats, I'm simply talking about the appearance. Also, if you have seen an excellent model somewhere that you think is better, let me know, and I'll ask the designer if I may include it.

These hulls will be designed so that they may be fighters or freighter, so keep that in mind. The Starflier hull just isn't believable as a freighter.

Thanks,
Ceylon

Hrmm. The fighter/freighter requirement really limits the possibilities, doesn't it? Here are my votes:

Liberty: Rhino
Bretonia: Crusader
Kusari: Dragon
Rheinland: Valkyrie
Pirate: Uhh...Bloodhound?
Civilian: Hawk
Other: How about the CSV? Or is that a pirate ship? If so, I vote CSV for pirate, and Stiletto for other.

The look is all that matters. You will be building the ship from hull up, so some just don't make sense. The idea is that by sacrificing weapons, power, etc you can get lots of cargo, or vice versa. Basically, there current stats of the hulls are meaningless, thos will be changed.

The question is.. What's your favorite hull design for each house? Or do you want to suggest a ship someone else has made?

Thanks,

for cussari i go for the gunboat, as it isn't particularly big and looks adaptable.

look forward to seeing the mod!

Hmmmm, maybe a corsair or borderworld chassis. Or you could make your own...

Unfortunately with school and work, I do not currently have the time to build and skin new models. That is why I am asking for suggestions for models. I am barely able to steal enough time from my schedule to do what I am right now. Once the mods is complete, I may make new models if I have the time, bu tright now it is out of the question.

Thanks,
Ceylon
