New Ship Design (Drakken)
« on: August 20, 2013, 03:02:55 am »
Red = Small gun slot
Salmon (lighter red) = Small gun slot direction

Blue = Medium gun slot
Light Blue = Medium gun slot direction

Yellow = Bridge                             FIGURE 2 IS THE SIDEVIEW
Pink = Steering wheel
Purple = Large Engine
Dark Purple = Small engine
Grey = Hull Armor Placement
Green = Balloon Placement

I'm not good at 3d modeling so i cant make a full 3d model of it.
But i can give some inspiration for the design.
It would be nice to give it a viking ship hull with a dragon/ sea monster head on the front

This ship has brutal frontal firepower with its 2 medium guns and 1 small gun on the front.
A High speed provided by 4 engines to chase its prey.
It has  900 HP and 500 armor

It has the lowest maneuverability of all ships, so its easily outmaneuvered
staying in its tail is the best way to kill it because it has no guns at the back

Thank you for noticing my design and i would like to hear some feedback

The image is very very small, could you probably add a larger version to a image sharing site such as imgur.com? We'll be able to give better feedback then :)

That worries me, even before you get to the high speed bit.

I've thought about similar 2x medium gun ship designs, but the having effectively a heavy-pyra able to deliver a double heavy carronade or double hwacha salvo in the direction of travel just sounds too OP.  Add in a light weapon (mortar or flak) to the same salvo and I think it would be almost impossible to balance.


PS
the image is a 50x50 pixel thumbnail, it needs to be about 500x500 pixels to be readable.

isnt there a zoom in option in the open menu?
maybe scrap the small gun bit i thought that that was a bit OP too, but stick with 2 the mediums on the front because otherwise it would just be a horrible goldfish

OR we can do 2 small guns and one medium gun in the front
