Montana-class Utility Cruiser
Dakota love supersized, the Montana has it all; cargo, launch bay, a rustic history, rattling deckplates, a hearty crew and a whole bunch of personality.
Seriously, Keptin, what the hell. Did you used to work in marketing or production or something? How do you know so much about what to give people what they
want?I guess you must've taken it from how much everyone loved the Dakota. But... goddamn, it's beautiful *sniff* Now, I play the waiting game until UC mod gets updated with it.
By the way Starlight, I don't see terribly much value in mere recolors. But I think it'd be cool if you kitbashed the ships a bit and gave them a rusty look. Basically, giving them the Lotus treatment, you know? If keptin and the author of Lotus are cool with it, anyway. Lotus and IF loadouts are already pretty similar, except from what I've seen Lotus ships tend to have oversized mounts. So, messing with the stats and changing around mount types oughta do it.
Creative commons is neat, but... if keptin wasn't the only one making his mod, then we'd have to shower too many people in praise :x
Edit: I forgot to mention. I've been using the fighters, but I find them a little lackluster. Drakens seem... on par with talons, ish, and mediocre for anything else. They certainly lose to bolts, even retreating ones. I haven't seen Hornets do much, considering how easy a mere two of them are to kill. I would rather the FP be bumped up to 7 or even 8, and giving it a third ship. They also seem far more like Support Fighters rather than Assault Fighters. An HMG and two Sabots will crack shields, and do little else. Sure, the IF loadouts are all kinetic-oriented, but... efficacy should be present somewhere, at least.
That's just my experience, though. Perhaps someone else used them to great effect.
