The Redeemer is real and the only reason I refuse to not touch SC because if this ship isnt flyable I aint flying.

Poor Redeemer. Valkyrie says peace!

Redeemer is love! Redeemer is life.

 

[NaffNaffBobFace]

Whoever designed the Redeemer must be pissed.

 

[Doyzer]

Redeemer is the BEST ship.

I used so many $0 Redeemer to BMM upgrades in the past.

 

[Talonsbane]

Until the Redeemer is fully flight ready in the PU, then the only thing it is any good for is as a CCU token.

 

[Sraika]

neat :p

I see I will have to come in with the unpopular opinion.

The Redeemer does not fit the style or aesthetic of anything in this game. It was made at a time when there were no clear style guides and it shows in the hair-straightener influenced engine design.

The concept behind the Next Great Star Ship idea was good in that it got some very creative minds from the community to work together and make some amazing ships, but the end result was a design that is nowhere near current standards and an abomination to the Aegis brand.

I agree wholeheartedly. NGST was a cool concept and a great (and painfully wasted) opportunity to bring the creative minds of the community together, but the ships that came from it where ugly monstrosities. The kind of ugly my 4 yo makes with his legos.

The Redeemer is the least ugly of them, but it still fells short in every aspect when compared to current SC designs.

 

[LoicFarris]

So what's the re-designed redeemer look like? I'm not seeing it anywhere?

The boomslang should have won anyway, this would have actually made a really cool Crusader Industries ship, but CI wasn't around then if memory serves.

If this holds true, which it very may well (you may be wise. Heavy on the "may"), I'd be very interested to see how they deal with it. It's still one of my favourite ships, but if it has no place, it has no place. Although I'd love a place for a gunship. And then I'd love a gunship. Corsair perhaps? Haha.

He hasnt even started on the redesign. He was not working on it until he finished a different project, but the beast is stirring.

I'm going to remain optimistic and believe that my 5 year old investment is going to pay off.

 

[Printimus]

Will be interesting to see how this comes out in the end.

 

[LoicFarris]

Based on what I'm reading, I'm liking that it's turing into a pure gunship. It could be something fun and if it's going to be more aerodynamic, it would be nice to see a gunship that is viable in atmosphere and space.

 

[Tealwraith]

Eh, the Redeemer is a gunship that can carry some troops, like an up-armed UH-1Y. Take the straightening irons off the port and starboard pylons and put on Retaliator engines that rotate to give it VTOL and you're there. Then let anyone who is pissed upgrade to a Valkyrie or something. Done. Disco Lando's dad would probably prefer Valkyries over his Redeemers, anyway.

 

[DontTouchMyHoHos]

From what I have read they are dropping the dropship, no pun intended, and going full on gunship ac-130 style.

 

[Jangmo]

I hold on to mine out of pure curiosity. The later in development we get I think the better off for this ship to be more fleshed out and not just a generic troop transport. This could be the best cutlass ever.
