Maybe it will replace the vulture...

Eventually, they're probably going to have to replace all the really simple ships of yore with new ones that look better.

I think they'd have to keep 'em all. If not for variety, for tactical reason. The Vult still has a much thinner signature than the Raptor.

starfisher you bastid if they take my vult away i'll take it out on you!

BTW the raptor looks badass.

Hey Incarnate, what kind of stats are you going to put on that? I'd think it'd be a good med bomber I think..

1 small

2 large

or something like that. it needs large ports man! or , just give a faction a hornet with all large ports. we just need something to use as a heavy mining/bombing ship.

you just want something to swarm in.

RE: Your Updates -- That is one of the major reasons why our VO community is so unique -- Guild makes us feel we are "one of the family" by "keeping us in the loop" and embracing our input. I really appreciate that. Thanks.

/me blinks

/me glares

/me unleases a full clip of swarms, and watches as Touriaus fails to avoid them as always, and see the vult explode.

/me is happy

haha you cant dodge swarms mecha?

rofl they are so easy too!

HAHAHAHA!!!!!

When you add this in, can we have a really slow big moth to go (kill) with it?

As long as they remember to replace the hornet, or give it a buff in the poly area, heh, its a freaking triangle with textures!!!

[edit]

Ooooh oooh oooh, they could give the new variants to everyone except corvus!

So, when will it be Soon?

Odd... I thought Lecter was the one with the "Dr." title here...

(Wrong form of "patience")

Now this ship looks sweet! I want one!

Also, on the reward note, I think it's a bad idea to give a certain ship design only to vets... However, giving them a special version is something else entirely, IMO. You could toss them a couple of kick-ass variants, (i.e. a Hornet with L ports) and leave these newer ships (at least certain variants) open for the newbies (i.e. me, at least in terms of actual time spent on one acct).

/me wanders off to the Suggestions forum to post his latest brainstorm

On another note, that thing looks absurdly easy to hit...

If it's about as big as a vult, my guess is:

erm. what the hell do you spend your time on, RelayeR? not life (this) surely?

Haha. I want to know how long zamzx zik would spend resizing that...

[/insinuation]

I would spend around the same time it'd be to post flame bait, and at the same time commiting thy self to doom.

in short,

Peanut Butter Jelly Time.

even with that scaling... it STILL looks absurdly easy to hit.

Just for kicks:
Bus 1-2S
Cent 1-2S
Vult 2S
Wraith 2S 1L
Hog 1L 1S
Atlas 1L 1S
Hornet 4S
Rag 3S 2L
Taur 1S 2L
MMaud 1S 1L
Mauds 3S
Valk 3S
Prom 2S 1L
Moth 2L

Keep these in mind when thinking of port variations. I would not appreciate a light ship with the ability to swarm.

Recommendations: 2 or 3 S
License levels similar to a Valk if 3S

Any other thoughts on this?
