Ship Idea: Raider

(1/3) > >>

SirNotlag:
SHIP: RAIDER
TYPE: BRAWLER

Manoeuvrability:
similar to the pyrmadon, not exactly agile but has a high top speed. Slightly better turning, top speed, and acceleration but worse vertical manoeuvring.

Durability:
also similar to pyrmadon with decent armour and perma hull

Fire power:
5 light guns total 2 on each side pointed slightly forward to give it better arcs when approaching an enemy ship, and one gun on the back for defence since it isn't very agile.

Unique features:
it has metal plating on the sides of its balloons making them harder to hit when attacking it from the sides but not front or rear.

Advantages:
+ relatively short run distance between guns on the same sides so one gunner can switch between them.
+ it has a gun pointing backwards to help it defend
+ armour protects its balloon

Disadvantages:
- its a bit of a run to switch from port or starboard guns compared to other ships.
- no front gun means its hard for the ship to advance or chase targets.
- poor vertical manoeuvrability make it vulnerable to balloon poppers.

Here is a rough floor plan of how the ship could be laid out


here is a side silhouette to see how the ship could look unique.

Ambiorix:
that actually looks pretty cool

Naoura:
It seems... kind of like a reversed Junker.

The new positioning for the guns is nice, and makes it a very nice broadsider, but it honestly looks like an inverted Junker.

Not a bad idea though.

SirNotlag:
Yeah i came up with the idea ages ago, but after i drew it out out i thought "isnt this just like if the pyra and junker had a baby?". And yeah it is. I feel like it could be a good ship in the game but I also would like to see crazier ideas first before ships that are just inbetweens start showing up.

Naoura:
I like where your head is at with it, but with the Alliance ships being included (in some ways a mistake, in my opinion) new ships are going to make a massive backseat.

I like your idea behind it, though. I'm having a hard time finding it's niche though... Asides from making it Stormbreaker-esque. Old Stormbreaker, now, as they messed her up with a heavy mount.
