Frigate possibilities for Epic and I-War

I think Lance is the best one. Its not fancy and bullshitty, but it does get the point accross...although...heh...lances werent exactly 'slow'. I remember seeing a historicaly accurate performance done by some highly skilled experts, the way that guy weilded the 'slow and clumbsy lance' lol. almost blew my mind as much as watching the knight in amrour doing gymnastics to show how plate-armour *didnt* reduce your mobility significantly

"Lance" sounds nice in this aspect, as a test script of mine with its weapon loadout and performance showed that its power really depends on the way you handle the ship. I tried to create a moderately powerful and moderately fast ship that shows its full potential if thrusters and weapons are handled tactically, depending on the current target or situation.

lance isnt too bad i guess, just kinda plain. maybe in keeping with the 'naught you could name it the "Juggernaught" class frigate? its big, its mean and it looks like it could roll right over you:D

For a class name, I have nothing special on my mind. It seems that in the I-War universe, it's also a tradition to name the class after the first ship commissioned. In a test script, I have called the prototype "Enigma CNV-601" for a lack of further ideas, but that can be changed easily.
However, the prototype gets stolen by Indies and is re-named to "Expect Liberation", which puts up the question if the class should use the "original" Commonwealth Navy name or rather the Indie name.

If thats the case, why not call it the "Liberator Class"

Cormorant: The frigate for I-War is on it's way.

The textures took a beating in the conversion to the standard I-War palette. Sizing them to 256x256 did them no favors either.

But, still, she came out fairly well.

Let me know how the conversion goes and what it looks like in the game.

I dont think juggernaught is a good idea for this ship, because the navy heavy cruiser is not only much more aptly named, but also would roll right THROUGH this ship with ease. I also think that 'lance' is indeed a good, but slightly dull name, more worthy of a fighter class ship , and certaintly not a ship so skillfully made.

Liberator class frigiate sounds bloody brilliant IMO. I mean, its not ecconomically fesable to have corperations supporting this size ship, so only independants would have it. And its the biggest an independant could aquire. A real 'liberator' if you (and your family/crew) can get your hands on it. Its just bigenough to be utterly self supporting. And it sports some nasty arnaments too. Infact, its something the Stepsons would love to have as a sort of 'family barge'.
