That Ship In The Refinery
« on: March 31, 2013, 12:00:48 am »
So today I played on the refinery for the first time, upon my second game I noticed an airship in the background, here is a slight description of what I saw:

-2 balloons side by side
-A deepish draft
-Connor Mc. thought he saw it was built around a gun

Now here's a question for you, if such a ship were to be put in game, how would you imagine the deck and engineering hard point layouts be? How fast would it go, how strong would it's hull be, and would you consider a gun mounted along the ships hull OP?

Someone, I can't remember who, told me it was a prototype ship that never made it into game.

There's a sad magic about it, maybe it's a rail gun

There's a thread on the old forum about this, including screenshots.

Aha! I just realised where I'd seen it before.

It's the video from the old kickstarter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Ewpn5xMY3Hc

as mentioned, the ship was a prototype ship i made a long long time ago before we even knew what ships really. . did.. . had 2 guns on it each the size of a junker so you can imagine how incredibly broken it would have been . . also between me and lenz we never like wasting assets, so we occasionally find ways to use them that add life to the world so nothing goes to waste. . like the giant gun i mentioned just now exist in the game

with that said. . . i totally want to remake it into something that works in the current game if i get the excuse to do so

Ground based npc air to ground anti ship weapon.  I drew an infantry assault sketch in fan art and it started a convo on ground forces in play.
