Itani Revenant Resilience (Mini-Prom)

Feb 09, 2014 meridian link
Extension of this thread: The Itani lack a heavy-armed prom-like ship. The proposal is a Itani variant of the Revenant that sacrifices cargo, turbo drain & mass for additional thrust and armor.

Itani Revenant Resilience
Armor: 15,500 (compare 12,500 Revenant mkIII, 21,000 Skyprom)
Ports: 1L/2S (same mkIII, 1L/2S Skyprom)
Cargo: 8 cu (22 cu mkIII, 18 cu Skyprom)
Mass: 11,000 kg (9,800 kg mkIII, 10,000 kg Skyprom)
Thrust: 425 N (350 N mkIII, 525 N Skyprom)
Turbo Thrust: 450 N (350 N mkIII, 535 N Skyprom)
Spin Torque: 10.5 Nm (9.5 Nm mkIII, 11.5 Nm Skyprom)
Max Speed: 65 m/s (same mkIII, 65m/s Skyprom)
Turbo Speed: 200m/s (same mkIII, 220m/s Skyprom)
Turbo Drain: 55/s (50/s mkIII, 60/s Skyprom)

+1, also make it a wraith, the Rev looks like a mutilated head off an action figure.

drop the mass 500kg and up the strafe thrust 25~50kN and its good to go.

And yeah twould be nice if it were a wraith.

Up the turbo drain to 60/s to compensate for spidey's changes and it's perfect.

Armor: 17,500 <- Needs survive an avalon
Thrust: 445 N <- Thrust and turbo thrust within 10 N like the skyprom
Turbo Thrust: 455 N
Turbo Drain: 60/s <- Drain should be 60 on a linebacker

The wraith is a discontinued thing i'd be surprised if Incarnate was willing to use it as a new ship, the revenant on the other hand is a pretty model and deserves a competitive variant like this.

Because this is a brand new ship with 0 hours, it needs extensive testing before you can really get a feel for its strengths/weaknesses, but I definitely approve of the concept.

Mass and thrust additions need to be considered as-equipped for things to make sense.

Keep the mass of the Rev MkIII.

Also, 200m/s is for trade ships. The SCP has 220m/s turbo for a reason.

Really, I think this is a good candidate for a new ship model altogether. Luis' stuff looks pretty, but its designed for looks, not for how their shape affects handling. If you compare his (Raptor, EC, Revenant) to Waylon's (Valk, Prom, Marauder), Waylon's ships all have their bulk relatively centered.

It's agreed then, Itani will get a new heavy ship SoonTM!

File it in the bin!

Aye, too bad the devs can't rig the client app so that certain test ships will only be available on the test server. That way this stuff could be tested to determine if it's going to fit in game before actually introducing it.
