Point being, based on firepower alone, you can expect this to be a good gunship even without insane shields/high maneuverability. While I also agree that as much maneuverability as it can get would be great, the main selling point of a gunship should be how much firepower it can bring from as many angles as possible, not how well it can keep up in a dogfight (which it certainly isn't made for). (speaking of which, Constellation really needs to get a shield boost). I'm moreso expecting 2 s2 shields, same as the Freelancer and Constellation, although 3 s2 shields are also a possibility considering it's supposed to have "advanced shielding", and since the Ares Ion gets that many as well. s3 components are huge in general, and you would be hard-pressed to fit one onto a ship in the Redeemer's size class. a s3 shield would be on par with ships like the Caterpillar and the 600i. I highly doubt it'll have a s3 shield, and it certainly won't need one to be a worthwhile gunship. I'm quite happy with the direction it is taking! Looks very nice too. Maybe the round disk on the neck? But that would be rather a weird egress point. Seems to be still a perfect ship for a pilot and two gunners, that tail turret could be used a automated point defense and troop cover turret for the pilot when on ground.Īlso some boarding hatch in the description, but I'm not sure where it is. I hope it still has the nice living room on top and some armory for the crew and it is perfect for a mercenary workhorse. That places the ship into a perfect competitor to the Cutlass/Freelancer duo with a more heavy combat focus. That belly room got significantly widened for that, almost twice as thicc. Which is quite a hefty loadout for a ship that size and places it well into the heavy gunship role.Īlso troop transport and cargo confirmed. Nose guns: Attrition-4 on fixed S4 or gimbaled S5 hardpoinds Manned turrets: 2S4 with Revenants gatlings. From what I gathered the loadout here is:
