Hmmm.... I was just thinking (yeah, I do that sometimes)... why didn't Ambrosia give the Zacha a warship? A Crescent Warship that's slightly modified with be perfect!

Speed: 200
Accl: Average
Turn: Average
Shields: 250
Armor: 25
Guns/Turrets: Max of 4
Space: 20 Tons
Cargo: 40 Tons
Fuel: 7 Jumps

and the big change:
Standard Weapons:
4 Phase Turrets
2 P. Missile Launchers + 50 P. Missiles
1 Zachit Fighter Bay + 3 Zachit Fighters

How cool would that be? neh?

Uh, isn't that what the Gunship is for?

Yeah, that would be sweet but it might somehow tip the scales in favor of the Zachit in their routine conflicts with the Renegades, ya know what I mean? But it could be a "prototype" or something and it would only be available for purchase to seasoned Zachit members? (a.k.a. you) That would be sweet! The trimmings and the hull could be different shades of blue, I think that would be awesome!

I love the idea of launching Zachit Fighters!

Looks cool! :eek: :eek: :eek: I also like the idea of launching Zachit Fighters. :eek: :eek: :eek:

Launching zackit fighters gave me the idea..... yeah, it would tip the scales, but man.... it would rule. Imagine this:

Z. Warship starts firing pursuit missiles at an enemy... out pop 3 Z. Fighters, and THEIR missiles start firing.... and the Warship continues firing... that would just KICK ASS!!!

Flatty, I must say... your a genious

Hey dude, someone is going to try to get me the Strata3D files for some of the EVO ships so I can modify them and such... I'll see what I can do

Believe it or not, after the EVO Board ship proposals went ballistic, I've been contemplating to make a plug of my own, adding a few reasonable ships to the game. One of them would be a Zidagar Arada (armed with a single phase turret, two phased beamers and two external fuel pods... very potent combination :p) and a heavier Zachit ship.

I figured using a converted CW would be kinda unimaginative, and since the Zachit seem to favor light ships that pack a lot of punch, I went for one of the most underrated cool ships in the game... the Lazira. With all stock weapons removed and one mass expansion performed, there's enough space for 3 phase turrets, a Zachit fighter bay with two fighters (I went with 75 tons there, as for the Zidagar fighter bay), two pursuit missile launchers and 15 missiles. I call it the Zachira.

I have yet to playtest it and give it a set of sprites, but that should be quickly done, since I have the Infini-D models of Ambrosia. It's not gonna be available for purchase, but the fighter bay will, so you'll be able to piece together a Zachira of your own.

Other ships I intend to include are the Miranu Windrider, an Igazra frigate, the UE Gunship and an armored transporter for the Voinians.

Hey, Buba, If you ever get a hold of those Strata files, post them somewhere. I for one would be thrilled to get my hands on them.

Great idea, Flatty...but the (url="http://"http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/dsghosh/evosite/shipyard3.html#mgunship")Miranu Gunship(/url) pretty much is exactly what you described. It's not quite as good, but it is the Zachit warship.

Very well then, Flat's ship will be the Zacha CRUISER.

I thought about this before why don't the Zachit have a reasonable warship? One of the problems with the Gunship is that it's green (I couldn't believe that) and the repulser beam should of been instead pursuit missles. Another problem is that the Gunship is that it shows up only in missions! I though about doing something like this before, but I just couldn't do it (And then I forgot about it). But great idea about the CW and the Lazira! Those sound really cool!

What export features does infini-D have? Strata would be awesome, and thinkin of wich, does Mac link plus have anything to offer in converting 3D models? A good Form•Z export would be good if anybody on these boards has in (Form•Z exports pretty much all 3D formats known to man).
And as for a Zachit warship, i'd go with a fast "attack" cruiser. 4turrets, 4zachit fighters, pursuit missiles and a Zachit version of SAD! yeah, one that tracks down enemies even in the nebulas! or a accelerator, while the enemy is busy with your fighters you close in and fire your frying plasma weapon at him! or both, and dump the pursuit missiles (they never hit anyway, their tracking system isn't even human quality).
