Rather than a another fighter how about a light weight super fast ship that can defend stations even in a storm. (Go ahead and hate)

Ineubis Veloci-Raptor - 80,000 credits

Faction: Ineubis +800
Level: 5/5/-/-/-/
Armor: 6000
Cargo: 1
Weapons: 2S
Mass: 3500kg
Length: 17m
Thrust: 225NM
Turbo Thrust: 525
Max Speed: 60 m/s
Spin Torque: 9.0
Turbo Speed: 220
Turbo Energy: 50

Ineubis stations are near 2 Conq stations therefore perfect place for a station defending ship. The raptor is the perfect platform for this type of modified ship due to integrated storm radar. To offset the turbo and spin torque the armor is decreased as well as cargo (I would almost say zero cargo but gotta swoop dead station guard LENBs)

Drop the cargo to 1cu and get rid of the infiturbo

It's for chasing multiple rags while defending stations so I think the infini turbo is justified. It has less armor than a greyhound which is the current station defending ship.

I have no problem making the cargo lower.

-1

It's not exactly like the Raptor UDV, but somehow throws it out of it's usefulness position. So nah.

Explain how a ship with half the armor & 2 small ports and only storm radar throws the UDV out of its usefulness?

Also I can count the number of times I've seen you in a UDV on 1 hand.

I like the new ship idea! +1

oh btw, for the rest of you:

+1

I like the fact you based this on my thread, i dont like how you nerfed the concept and made another craptor,the Ineubis Veloci-Raptor was a X-1 like raptor, with better specs, a station defender only craptor is a had idea.

@xperia

1) the UDV fills that roll already so it is pointless to suggest a duplicate.

2) this design fulfills a specific roll that is currently being filled by the greyhound and would do a much better job

3) There are enough top tier super ships in this game, learn to fly instead of expecting the ship to do the work for you.

Put the turbo speed at 220 m/s and then I'd say +1.

That'll secure the UDV's "relevance", while still providing some more variety for the Raptor. It is such a shame that such an awesome looking ship (probably the coolest looking in the game) is literally the least used ship that I see. I literally see more Wraiths than I do raptors and those things were supposed to have been discontinued and look like shit.

Show some love to one of the raptors at least. UDV is the UIT exclusive ship so I'm not talking about that one.

@Darth,

I put it at 225 because that last 5 takes a few seconds to get to this way it can in fact hit 220 quickly to get to the incoming Rags, its never going to be running in a straight line enough to get to 225 in a station sector but if it will get more people behind it I guess it would be ok, just not as effective.

I think that it would, which is partly why I suggested that change.

Inifiturbo in a fighter is rare enough. For it to be topped off at 225m/s doesn't make sense to me.

Maybe increase the turbo thrust so that climbing to 220m/s isn't an issue.

Ok I adjusted the specs a bit.

Ok, i agree that i may of been too harsh with the "nerfing" isuue, but i want a raptor that isnt UIT only and isnt useless. Ever as a station defender id fly this thing, but if the top speed is 220 you should lower the turbo energy, to like 47 per sec

Cant you NOT infiniturbo with any ship besides the Gov. EC? Why should we change that for a stronger ship?

At 50 turbo energy you can still infin-turbo, why lower it to 47? Wtf

If.it.is chasing rags, it need too be able to shout without giving up the chase
