a more "oldtime" layout on the ships

from Sins Forums
I think the bigger ships in sins should have more turrets on them, BUT placed on each side. so you will have to manouvre around and line up your guns. as it is now, I think the capitol ships has pretty few weapons for such a large ship.
and it could have its more heavy weapons mounted to the front, and those should only be able to fire straight ahead, like the laser attack now can shoot almost 90* from its turret. It should only be able to shoot straight ahead.

I guess for the TDC faction, it would make a bit sense how it is. If you read the back ground all of there captial ships are old trade vessels that have been convertet. Except for the Kol. And the Kol do have a significant amount of guns  

I hope we see bigger captial ships in beta2 with more guns.

I agree , the TDC capital ships look like POS scrap ships upgraded to warships, lol... The KOL is the only real looking warship, its tiny and overpowered with weaponry! The Carrier is ok also, but could use some more flak guns...

I miss the old picture of the Marza Dreadnought, the new one in the beta doesn't look as cool

Old Marza image back in the day.... I miss the big blue gun it had...



The Dunnov Cruiser and KOL Battleship have pretty much stayed true to the old images....

They are "supposed" to look like scrap heaps. They are trade, and industrial vessels converted into combat ships. The Kol on the other hand reminds me of the Kushan destroyer from Homeworld.

I do like that older version of the Marza. That "BFG" looks allot more intimidating.

the akkan is built around broadsides...

old marza looks like a stick.

when they get the siege guns to fire from the right location itll be cool
