Commanders,
This is both a call for videos to become the standard means of describing a Combat starship, and also an offer from me to make videos of your Combat starships. I want you to share with me your most fun, innovative, low-budget, useful or otherwise special ideas, either already as a video should you feel inspired to create one, or as a blueprint for me to build and demonstrate.
My hope is to achieve a Combat celebration, but also a separate demonstration of how much more effective it is to communicate using video than using words, perhaps with the occasional image for good measure. For example—
Normally I live within the Hailstorm, my lovely Mamba, with which I enjoy very much shoving things around and detonating their Power Plants. A grapple is not always appropriate though; usually stabs and volleys are enough, and some pilots prefer a Rapid Fire variant. This approach works quite well such that I do not envisage replacing it, but that ought not exclude desire for variety.
Rather than simply having its functions described to you, was it not just so much more enlightening to see what it does?
Of course, while I am quite serious in offering to highlight your starship builds, in practice it will require appreciable time to apply the intended engineering to the modules. If this attracts a lot of input then surely I will need to make unfortunate choices of some ideas over others.
Ideas do not have to be high-performance necessarily; they can be specific to a particular type of target, easy for beginners to build and make a decent start, or just simply fun to use. Despite my inspiration following a video I made of an easy-to-use Rail Gun and Multi-cannon Krait 2 designed by CMDR Bold Mole, please note that builds with majority Lasers and Multi-cannons are very common, and as such are something I will need to limit outside of beginner loadouts.
Heavies are seldom within my interests; such would need to be quite special for me to consider it. Travelling too far for construction or testing should also be avoided; ideally the intended usage is at a Conflict Zone, Compromised Nav Beacon, some level of Resource Extraction Site, or perhaps via interdiction.
Other idea-seekers are very welcome, especially if also intending to create video examples!
