Explanation of Statistics
I wanted this ship to be the stepping stone between Goliath and Vengeance (and maybe to knock down Goliath's popularity).

Hitpoints: Below Goliath, so less tank ability, but above Vengeance, making it still a valid PvE ship.
Speed: More than Goliath (putting Goliath at a disadvantage), but less than Vengeance and Spearhead- allowing them to continue as scouts and/or their hit and run tactics.
Lasers and Generators: More than Vengeance, giving it more tanking/PvE ability, but not dealing as much damage as Goliath, or having as much shields as Goliath or Citadel.
Armory: Just slightly less than Goliath, not as big. No real reason for those specific numbers.
Extras: Same as Goliath, people like their extras, so if they switch from Goliath to this ship they get to keep their same extras at least.
Cargo: Having more than Vengeance makes this a better ship to collect Palladium in, along with the fact that it can outrun most players on that map.
Kill Rewards: Substantial enough, but still less than Goliath, because it doesn't have as much hp.
Cost: More than vengeance, but still enough for one hard-earned zeta to cover.


Designs
These designs are intended to be equally effective.

Guardian: 10% HP and Shield bonus. No Abilities. 100,000 Uridium.



Enigma: 5% Damage bonus. Ability: Leap of Faith. This ability causes the ship go into Ultamite Cloak for two seconds, making people lose their lock. After the two seconds, the ship reappears like normal. Every time this ability is activated, there is a 20% chance that when the ship comes back it will have the prismatic shielding effect for thirty seconds. Two minute cool down. It's only 20% and not 100% because this is already a good getaway ability, but it has the chance to be great- that's also why its called Leap of Faith. 100,000 Uridium.





All criticism appreciated, even if you completely hate the idea. I do not take credit for these images, the colored Yamato was posted by CaptainIngold of the old forums, on this thread. I spent a deal of time on this idea, I hope you viewers like it.

 

This idea is alright, for it's new size, I suggest the back engines to be downsized a bit, makes it look a bit clumsy. But the question is, shall this be a uridium or credit ship?

 

I put it in statistics, sorry if it wasn't very obvious.

 

Oh it is at the bottom, silly me. I assume the designs will be tagged with uridium. I like the idea. +1

 

Oh My God this is a great idea!!!!
Do you have any ideas concerning the DefCom ship???

 

I was considering doing a defcom overhaul, but I decided I liked the yamato better I also had these two paintjobs ready, and only a red one for the defcom.

 

I like it

I just realized, goliath, aegis, and even citadel are better than this ship for base attack and defense. Maybe giving it higher HP than goliath would change that.
