You know... I have kind of wanted a simple ship shaped like a brick with a half cylinder across the front for a cockpit (you're in space after all, wings are only necessary to mount stuff on, but if you have a big flat body, well...). The whole rear could be the engine exhaust. It could be used as a freighter or dreadnaught. You know, the classic 4-2-1 rectangle shape, no special color but maybe reflective gold for the "windshield" and black/red trim or grey/green trim for the body. It could have say, 4 forward firing guns and maybe 4 turrets on the top and 4 on the bottom in a V configuration or just 6 on the top and some missile or torp launchers on the bottom (I would make them all the same type so the weapons could be all fired with one button push) and the usual other accoutraments like counter measures, and mines. I personally would give it a hold of about 3250-5000 units or so, about 15000 hull strength, and make it use heavy fighter shields so I could use my "diamond shield" modified shields (I don't really like the invulnerable shields 'cause it's like god mode, mine are only like avatar mode!). Then I could haul water to the border worlds in peace and security, or roll up next to, say, Cadiz base and whallop the pee out of anything that shows up to talk, including the base (I just love peeling those turrets off the pirate bases, don't you!). Can anyone out there make such a thing? PLEEEAASE????
