I got it, the whale shark.

Not really, seeing as how a LJ shot arcs it would be hitting hull before balloon, so it really boils down to how strong they make the balloon.
Machiavelliest:
Looks almost invincible against balloon poppers. Since carronades don't elevate down anymore and the Lumberjack fires in an arc, there's no way to hit its balloon if it's down on the ground. Not to mention that the impact damage will be hitting the balloon, not the ground, so killing it via grounding would be a nightmare. Also, are those panels armor to protect things or are they control surfaces? Rudders have pretty much been non-existent on ships so far.
If you're anywhere from its 10 to 2, you'll be taking triple medium weapon fire. Looks pretty badass.
Names: +1 Hovercraft
Cathedral or Abbey because of that gold trim
Whale because its underbelly does look whale-ish, but that would give Dick Tim too much satisfaction, I think.
This seems to reinforce the gat/flak as the dominant meta concept, too.
Serenum:
5 weapons all on the same side? :o
I'm guessing the ones on the right and the left will have a limited firing arc so that being able to fire with all 5 on the same enemy is going to be tricky. Maybe all the weapons are going to be light ones?
Arthem White:
Wow, just... :o
I guess it's hard to believe, but the reveal of the Manta Ray is extremely spooky for me.
Why? Well, I was thinking of doing a fanart project / ship mockup. And it was extremely similar to the Manta Ray!
My one was supposed to be called Stingray, and was supposed to have a very low balloon (not exactly under the ship, but rather in the middle, surrounded by the two ray "wings" that made the deck). The similarities kind of end there, though. My one would've been an Arashi League ship, designed to "hug the ground" and attack from below (the lore had to do with desert camouflage and striking convoys emerging from the dunes). It had three guns, one medium on the back, pointing forward and 30 degrees upwards (to bring enemies to the ground level) and two guns aiming backwards, designed to harpoon and tow enemies, hitting them against the rocks.
I might go on with the mockup anyway because it's quite different to the way I think the Manta Ray will play (The MR looks like a heavy, tank-ish forward hitting ship, while my idea was closer to squid levels of maneuverability, except with some focus on ramming and a special role of being very very close to the ground).
the MR looks awesome by the way, can't wait to try it!
