Yah, that ship, with colors changed, looks like an odd cargo ship for the UE or Voinians... I don't think pirates come up with new designs though.. They steal them.

So, took your comments to heart and tried to make it look less organic. I'm not so sure if I succeeded, but here's another version. Changed texturing, removed a few pipelines, made it symmetrical. Remarks and suggestions are always welcome off course

You're actually going to give the Igadzra, who already have the most powerful warship in the galaxy , a frigate!? Where's your common sense!? The Frigate will get swarmed by Azdaras and Zidagar Fighters just like the Igazra. They absolutely need a fighter do draw those f***in' Azdaras away while the warships move in for the kill.
There are some pretty good opinions (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/webboard/Forum9/HTML/001150.html")here(/url), on the Developer Webboard.

Um, if the Igadzra had a Fighter, they would become much more powerful than the other two strands. Besides, a Fighter is very unIgadzraish. They prefer big, bad ships with lots of guns. If you made other new ships for the Ziddies and Aggies, then it might be cool.
Game balance is a very fragile thing... take precautions that you don't smash it.

Yep. The Igazra is supposed to get swarmed, otherwise it would just eat any Crescent ship for breakfast. Like I said before, the Arada is the closest thing to a fighter that the Igadzra are gonna get.
The swiveling dispy launcher is an idea I'll have to consider, though. It would make up some of the punch the Igadzra lost when SAEs became inefficient in the last EVO update.
An Igadzra Windrider as scoutship would be nice, but it might be too similar to the Arada.

Of course! Instead of an Igadzra fighter, you could go with Flatty's plan and make a turreted or homing DR Launcher. It would help against Azdaras (b/c they've got no armor and die with one DR), and would make perfect sense. After all, the Igadzra do specialize in weaponry. I know turreted rockets work well because my Azdara gets hit constantly by Voinian TRs, but it wouldn't unbalance the game because of the short range of DRs and because fighters are nimble enough to dodge the rockets often enough to do some damage before dying.

And the turreted DR would be a lot more effective than those worthless SAEs. They never hit anything.

Highly incorrect. Please remember this one fact: The Igazra is NOT the MOST POWERFUL ship in the game! If you take a Voinian cruiser down there and then attack an Igazra, you always win! I don't get why almost all people believe the Igazra is the most powerful ship in the game! It is not! I have to admit, if you took it down to Voinina, UE, or Emalgha space it would whoop them, but a Voinian cruiser is much better when you are near the strands.
And secondly, the Igazra DO NOT use fighters! They are known for their large, heavy dutey, powerful ships, not fighters! Fighters are for the Zidagara and Azdgari.

I wouldn't exactly say that. Looks pretty good. Although, I guess the nose could be a little less bulging.

How about a Igadzra Dreadnaught or Azdgari Dreadnaught that would be so cool. Take it to be considered because Voinians have a Dreadnaught hey what about the UE could they have a Dreadnaught and the Emalagala or however you spell it and all of the governments the should of a key war ship let me rephrase it. They should have a strong war ship (in the game of course) can have that can be available to all of us and the government also.

UE General:
An Igadzra Dreadnaught is not such a bad idea.. but it would distabilize the strands a bit..
An Azdgari dreadnaught?? No way. They use mid-size and small ships. A big, heavy, SLOW ship is not part of the azzie personality.
The UE already has a dreadnaught, it's called the UE Cruiser.
The Emalgha will not be making any new ships any time soon... especially not a huge dreadnaught!! They are still recovering from slavery.

An Emalgha Carrier seems quite reasonable to me -- I might actually put one into Advance. However, it's not even going to be as good as a UE Carrier. A dreadnaught is completely out of question.
An Igazra dreadnaught would be cool for mission-only usage, like the Voinian one. Naturally, people would abort the mission and try to capture it. :rolleyes:
Apart from that, Alien has pretty much said all that is to be said.
Oh, and UE General: Use punctuation, dammit. :eek:
