The Sepulchre - New Reaver Mid-Class Ship Concept

thedragonslay3r

I actually introduced this piece a while ago during the "Reaver Cleaver" Forsaken + Draconian Mashup Contest. I'd like to draw attention to it again, as I think we need a mid-class Reaver Hull.

Known as THE SEPULCHRE! @CM DOOMROOSTER maybe this can be suggested to the team with us non-whales in mind?

Description: The Reaver Sepulchre, the unholy resting place of a crew destined for death, is a nightmare of the seas. Boasting enhanced weapons placements favoring both Missile and Ballistic, and with competitive combat speeds, its sole purpose is to wreak havoc upon its enemies. Once near death, the Sepulchre kicks into overdrive, gaining additional speed to bring it screaming towards its enemy where upon death consumes its prey, as well as its crew, in fiery mayhem.

Regarding Hull Specifications, I was thinking something along the lines of the capabilities of the (now) R10 Mercury.

Max Weight 7000
Armor: 3000
Combat Speed: 15 (fast, but not Stingray fast)
Turn Speed: 30
Evade: 30%
Armor Slots: 3 (maybe 4?)
Weapon Slots: 5 Standard, 2 Hybrid
Special Slots: 4 (The Merc could have benefited from that 4th, and so to contend with the V2-H perhaps?)
Resistances: 20% Ballistic, 30% Missile, 20% Explosive, 30% Concussive, 25% Radioactive
Reload Bonuses: 75% Missile Reload, 75% Ballistic Reload
Retargeting: True
Ballistic Range: +25%
Sonar: 80 (in line with a Vipre Interdictor)
Thermal: 65 (in line with a V2; anymore IMO is too much)

also how do you edit these ships? and what program do you use to recolor the hulls?

During the Reaver Cleaver Mashup Contest, I think Kixeye recommended Pixlr, and I used that at the time because I didn't have access to my copy of Photoshop (lost the licensing). I also used it again to repaint the ships. But normally I use Photoshop, though I will say that Pixlr did decent work for me when I had to create the unholy almagation that is the R5 Mercury and Interdictor.

The look alone reminds of an interdictor and vindicator smashed into one. Looks except the thermal and sonar unless it also hunts subs and think 3 armor slots would be good for a mid-class ship.

what program did you use to make this picture? and is it free?

thedragonslay3r

You are half correct. It is the Interdictor and the Mercury.

I used Pixlr, which I linked a little bit up the page in response to someone else asking about it as well.

Ok I thought it was your coloring tool

thedragonslay3r

It is a mini web-browser Photoshop. Quite effective enough if you're familiar with similar tools.

i want this ship for christmas

Loco266

This is beautiful and I want one.

That is all.

thedragonslay3r

Thank you.  I sent it on to DOOMROOSTER, and he said he thought it was awesome, and passed it along. I doubt we'll ever see this ship, or even a mid-range Reaver Hull, but I don't own any Reaver Hulls and I'd love to have this one.
