I have a proposal for the new atlas model. Below are the details:

1) It should be longer and skinnier. Think like 4 times the length it is now, and half the diameter.

2) It should have an on-board defensive ability. For example, when face to face with an adversary, you could emit a caustic substance which would temporarily blind them and lower their health.

3) It should have visible threat indicators. When in combat, it could vertically compress the front of the ship This would make it harder to hit, and the wider profile would make it appear more threatening.

4) The paint scheme should be a mottled color of white and black. All color variants will simply adjust the amount of white or black accordingly.

Ok, so more rod-like, spits goo out the front, and the tip changes shape? Here, let me add another one for you:

5) It should have a pair of spherical cargo pods located at the aft end of the ship.

+1 Only if this ship is given a polyisoprene shield.

Lecter...think less penis and more cobra!

Good call, DF…it's important to fly safe.

OK, fine, we'll run with this. It should also have a protective hull covering which slides forward to cover the nose of the ship when not in attack mode. If left in place long enough, it can be used to culture cheese for the pilot.

The protective hull covering on the front should only be on the Serco and UIT models. The Itani version will of course had this removed during early production.

So what you're saying is Itani equals...



Why not, even the colors are a match!

"5) It should have a pair of spherical cargo pods located at the aft end of the ship."

The cargo pods, if hit, should increase damage respective to the rest of the ship.

Guys, this thing could be huge. Don't let this one slip into the cracks.

The cargo pods, if hit, should increase damage respective to the rest of the ship.

No, no. If the cargo pods are hit, after a 10 second delay the ship will suddenly experience an extreme loss of control, effectively staggering the pilot.

Trust me, it won't get there by slipping.

Also if piloted by a VO vet that has been playing for 5 or more years it should have a 50% chance of not firing and having unresponsive controls unless it has a newly equipped ultra-heavy power cell equipped. Even then the power cell is only good for up to 4 hours.

Actually, the power cell should only be usable for 2 hours, at full resource, then diminish, resulting in a the ship getting stuck at full throttle if left equipped for more than 4 hours, eventually resulting in an inability to use the ship at all.

I think it's best to leave the flying penises to Second Life.

"It looks like a *****^WAdult Entertainment Toy!"
"That's appropriate. Armed, it can ****^Wfrell entire solar systems."

(not talking about the Atlas)

Tell that to whoever designed the Trident, Incarnate. Though to be fair, they did make it intersexed, so at least it isn't biased.

Give the M Arf's turret fix and it'll be perfect....

Fluffy, we're discussing the Atlas. Go make your own penis thread if you want to improve tridents.

My apologies for the thread hijack, however, I asssure you that my comment was not penis related. At least not directly. Well, maybe directly, but certainly not indirectly...
