Here is an idea for Semi-Cap ships, thus meaning ships bigger than fighters and bombers but still smaller than large Frigates or Carriers.
In this class of ship could be Large Freighters, Medium Freighters, Corvettes, and Small Freighters. Remember the Argosied from the original Escape Velocity? Those kind of large freighters with a few turrets and HUGE cargo holds would be so fun to have in this game. It would give more opening for escorts, and more opening for pirates.

Corvette:
Hull: 80000/80000
Manueverability: Very Low (Very High Inertia)
Cruising Speed: 70m/s
Turbo Speed: 90m/s
Weapon Arranment: 1 Avalon Torpedo Bay, 4 Adv. Gatling 270 degrees Turrets, and 2 Gemni Homing missile launchers.

Large Freighter:
Hull: 50000/50000
Manueverability: Low (bit lower than Ragnork, very high Inertia)
Cruising Speed: 50m/s
Turbo Speed: 90m/s
Weapon Arranment: 3 Adv. Gatling Turrets

And I'm sure you can think of the rest :D, I think it would be really awesome to see corvettes and large freighters, it would make my Vendetta experience (And hopefully everyone elses) very fun.

Pyro: Ewww... another naval buff. Cool.

May 06, 2003 Pyro link
Hehe... Actually, not really. I went to the Imperial War Museum while I was in London, and they had an Italian version there...

Heh, I'm bored so here is some more spam.

I don't really like the idea of 'freighters' per se. I'd kinda rather that any ship could be turned into a 'freighter' by stripping out the weapons and using smaller less powerful engines and batteries. But since those are all features that don't exist yet (and may never) here are some 'freighter' ideas.

Small Freighter - 5000 cr.
Length: 28m
Hull: 10800
Manueverability: Low (lower if fewer than 2 engines are mounted)
Engine Slots: 2
Battery Slots: 2
Cruising Speed: As average of engines
Turbo Speed: As average of engines
Weapons: 2 Small Slots, 1 Large Slot
Cargo: 25
Special: 10% penalty to turbo efficiency

Medium Freighter: 8000cr
Length: 33m
Hull: 18000
Manueverability: Poor (lower if fewer than 3 engines are mounted)
Engine Slots: 3
Battery Slots: 3
Cruising Speed: As average of engines
Turbo Speed: As average of engines
Weapons: 2 Small Slots, 1 Large Slot + 1 hemispherical arc turret (holds 2 Small or 1 Large Weapon)
Cargo: 39
Special: 10% penalty to maximum speed & 10% penalty to turbo efficiency

Large Freighter: 16000cr
Length: 45m
Hull: 45000
Manueverability: Very Poor (lower if fewer than 4 engines are mounted)
Engine Slots: 4
Battery Slots: 4
Cruising Speed: As average of engines
Turbo Speed: As average of engines
Weapons: 2 Small Slots, 1 Large Slot + 2 hemispherical arc turrets (holds 2 Small or 1 Large Weapon)
Cargo: 57
Special: 10% penalty to maximum speed & 20% penalty to turbo efficiency

Large Bulk Carrier Hull: 26000cr
Length: 50m
Hull: 60,000
Manueverability: Very Poor (lower if fewer than 4 engines are mounted)
Engine Slots: 4
Battery Slots: 4
Cruising Speed: As average of engines
Turbo Speed: As average of engines
Weapons: 2 hemispherical arc turrets (holds 2 Small or 1 Large Weapon)
Cargo: 70
Special: 10% penalty to maximum speed & 20% penalty to turbo efficiency

Of course, the prices of everything depend on whether the economy is just temporarily out of control or whether this recent prosperity is something that the devs want to continue.
