I have not played V O in a while but have been working on this design for nearly a year now, it needs some texturing and tweeking.

as you can see it has 4 small port weapons and has very similar stats to the "Raptor"

I have not entered it into the suggestions forums as I am afraid it will be shot down,

Honest opinions please!

thanks

nice chair

If this ship were added, I would use it very very frequently.

looks like the cargo capacity tops out at 350 pounds.

Ok, yea i have noticed my design does slightly resemble a chair, I may have been influenced by my surroundings a little.

thanks pizzagood! imagine the fear you could induce bearing down on a corvualt in b8 with this supierior war machine!

Whistler..... i was thinking 20cu max it is a short range fighter after all, if it were actually a chair then clearly the legs are to thin and too far forward from the back, but in reality they are perfectly placed small port weapons.

I shall carry on tweeking and come back with an updated design.

thanks for all your thoughts

this was a troll, right? this isn't a noob who thinks that ships are chairs...?

well i have been playing for three years on and off, and its in off topic... however like i say my design needs some tweeking... however if i am a troll and i started the thread... then get off my bridge :p

Where does the pilot... um... sit?

updated design, you can clearly see where the pilot sits in this picture, room for all the family!

Just in case anybody is not taking me seriosly here is my long awaited Cap ship design I think it is in keeping with the existing Cap ships and is clearly in line with TPG design.

your criticism is welcome.

No.

I prefer the "guns" on your new model. Much sturdier and much less likely to stub toes.

I would like to see how your designs scale with the existing ships in the VO universe.

I would also like to see some small variations of ships of different nations, Could we commission, say, a "Valkolounger", and perhaps recommission the Vulture as a "Wingback"?

Thanks for your input Whistler, regarding scale I shall get on that right away and post some examples, Valkolounger!? now I have already admitted that some of my ship designs may resemble furniture in allot of ways but this really is is a kind of natural selection and evolutionary process in the way my models have evolved, it is complete accident that they resemble existing (and may I say tried and tested) furniture, I must say though that I must be doing something right.

I shall have a go at redesigning the Vulture but I really don't think it will end up resembling seating in any way.

I like the new version of the death machine. It has a more aggressive feel to it. The first one looks more UIT than Corvus due to the gun design. Reminds me of a Marauder.

I don't really care for the capship though. When I think of capship, I think of a ship bristling with heavy artillery cannons. Sadly VO doesn't have any of those, with our turrets just being lame little blisters with no visible weaponry to indicate where they are aiming. Of course, you did say it was TPG, and it does have a very civilian look to it. I wouldn't really expect TPG to make the sort of capship I want anyway. If you want a proper battleship you need to talk to a Serco.

Sorry Whistler the scale examples and new vulture design will have to wait.

Pizzasgood..... you gave me an idea, I had to adjust the hull to accommodate a very subtle turret, not too imposing but clearly a turret.

[ Stamp of Approval ]

Hahahaha keep up the great work! :P

Now that's what I call a turret!

These need to be ingame. Nao.

@Whistler is this sort of what you meant? the scales are not to scale but as you can see the scale of the ships are similar to the scale in the VO universe and the scale of the scales, they have similar mass and stuff.
