I coulda sworn there was a green gunship that I saw somewhere, but I haven't seen it in a long time, where is it, when does it show up, and is there a mission involved?

You get the mission that lets you buy the gunship at outpost Zachet. You have to do a LOT of "Kill renegades" missions to get them.

One sign you've been playing EV/O too long:
If you play a racing game and you keep shifting into neutral (then reverse...) because you're trying to use afterburners.
Is the Miranu Gunship even worth the effort?

NO! Not in my opinion, anyway... The Miranu are a peaceful race, of course their first attempt at a fighter or warship will be terrible.

Correct. The Miranu Gunship is quite handy to have on your side during the Zachit missions during which it appears, but it really sucks if you use it yourself. It's pretty much a botched attempt to make a Lazira or Zidara type ship, but green and shaped differently.
Final judgement: Good as an escort (you could do better or worse though) but get something else to fly your own buttocks around in.

One cannot walk down an avenue, converse with a friend, enter a building, browse beneath the sandstone arches of old towns without meeting with an instrument of time.
Time is visible in all places.
Clock towers, wristwatches, church bells divide years into months, months into days, days into hours, hours into seconds, each increment of time marching after the other in perfect succession. And beyond any particular clock, a vast scaffold of time, stretching across the universe, lays down the law of time equally for all.
In this world, a second is a second is a second.
Time moves forward with unwavering regularity.
Time is an infinite ruler.
Time is absolute.
actually i thought it was pretty good. i took out lots of renegades in mine, aradas and laziras and crescent warships and stuff. the turrets it comes with are pretty handy agaisnt crescent fighters. i agree that its not that great, but it was a good step between the arada and the cw, and i think it is as good or better than the lazira.
thats what i think, anyway

I agree with you, FC, but I've heard people argue that the Miranu Gunship was the best ship in the game, which, I assure you, it is not.

I like the Miranu Gunship. It has a good balance of speed, power, shields, space, and fuel. I use it after I do the Zachit missions if i'm not already in a better ship. It great for taking out renegade craft like Aradas. There are better ships out there, but I have a soft spot for the goofy-looking, but powerful, Miranu Gunship.
------------------
I think, even if you don't actually like flying the damn thing, it's worth doing the mission string specifically because it's there. It makes a change from 'Rush delivery to <somewhere>' and endless trading. So do it, enjoy it, try the little green dude out, and then get back in your CW, or Turncoat or whatever.
(Only kidding about the Turncoat.)
The gunship is pretty dorky-looking all right, and it's weaker than other warships in the Crescent, but I've kind of got a soft spot for the little ship. It's actually okay--it's about as good as a Lazira, in between the Arada and a Crescent Warship--and it's good to have as an escort or something. I got my MG escort when it got disabled during a mission I was doing. The Zachit weren't real happy about it, I'll bet, but I had done enough good stuff for them already that they didn't care any more.
------------------
I can't think of anything to write here.
I never even bothered to try for them. I like Aradas best because they handle like a fighter but are powerful. I might get one as an escort, but, then again, escorts are useless except for conquering.
Overall a nice ship, but very few people like a ship that style.
Personally, I love that ship. Not as a pilot but as an escort. There is nothing like watching six MGs let loose with SADs at a renegade CW.
