Really feels like a Guild ship if you ask me
...just looking at it now, man 5 light guns. That's gonna be though getting effective
teweedo:
I love the base and concept design however I am definitely not a fan of the underballoon only.
This ship would be 10 times more awesome than it already is by having a regular balloon on top (in addition to the belly balloon)
Also, for balance purpose I think one of the 5 front gun should be put to the rear.
4 gun front is already enough firepower on its own and needs to balance it out a little bit. Having both side as a weakness is already harsh.
RearAdmiralZill:
Judging from the arcs, it'll be roughly like a pyra but with diagonal arcs. The upper gun looks like it wont get much use, unless there is a component or the inner side guns have a good overlapping arc. Then you could make that a dedicated gun and the two outer guns as utility.
Seeing all the ladders going down plus all the tunnels, i think hull and balloon will be downstairs.
Engines look funny to me in the picture. Like one is top deck and one is lower deck. And no main. Perhaps it's 2 main engines instead of 1 main and 2 turning?
For all you guys saying the balloon is nigh invincible, I think its actually quite exposed down there. Both lumberjack and Carronades have high upward arcs, so getting under this guy will be a death sentence for it's gasbag. Sure getting low would help, but your guns better have good arcs then.
maitreya:
Well, it has a design feel not dissimilar to the pyramidion or galleon; however the only other ship to feature rear-rudders has been the junker not to mention the similar bow. It also has a relatively utilitarian feel, once stripped of the gold it has What appear to be small cranes towards the wide open back for cargo on a stable platform.

You're looking at it wrong. The engine on the left is attached to the raised platform. The other turning engine is being blocked by the platform. So you might need a guy staying up to shoot and keep the main engine going, but this doesn't look like a ship where the engines will see much abuse.

Agreed on the hull, but not the balloon. I think the thing sitting next to the platform (not far from the main engine) is the balloon.
