House Harkonnen Faction

You can't have an Atreides faction without their ancient enemies, The Harkonnens

The scout fighter. Has little armor but is very quick and nimble

The fighter. Has more armor and can take out shields but is not as quick

The short range interceptor. It's soul purpose is to slow ships down so larger and slower ships can catch up

The missile ship. Swarms of this are meant to surround and destroy large enemy ships with hundreds of missiles while the interceptors and fighters attack close up

The long range interceptor. It's job is to track down any ship that escapes to another system

The Mudir Nahya. Named after the Barons nephew, the Mudir Nahya is a destroyer who accompanies the larger ships in the fleet

The Baron's Rage. A heavy cruiser that can out maneuver most ships it's size with ease

The Baron's Pride. A missile cruiser with some close range weapons just in case the fight comes to it

And finally, the Baron's Fist. A fast attack capital ship designed to smash the enemies lines and sow chaos

Hey these are some awesome ships. I really like the "Barion's fist" quite a unique and interesting design for me.

I'm very interested in the smaller ships. The parts are used so efficiently to create a very cheap fighter...

Sombreroman

I also like the idea of the interceptor. It sounds like a very tactical ship...

I think a week ago someone made a thread about the smallest ship you can make in vanilla so ideas for tiny ships were floating in my head. I figured if you have a small fighter it better me very fast and maneuverable. That is also why I made the missile pod. Other people had mad small ships with every other weapon except missile. So I wondered if it could be done. It's not the best but a lot of them could cause a lot of damage.

And I must say, the long range interceptor is one of my favorite ships I have created. There is just something about how it looks that is so pleasing to my eye

You need to call a fighter "Sting".

Wink wink, notch notch.

I suggest that any such Sting [cough cough wink] take the form of a Harkonnen-ized "Twin Ion Frigate" from the vanilla game's opponents. A nasty, agile, threatening duellist that's unwise for the enemy to ignore, and well-defended too. Stack up something like four shield units to defend its bow, and Sting would then be able to do its forward-spinal-mounted death lunge with ease.

culanns_hound, what do you think? Such a small combatant would thoroughly round-out the tactical capabilities of the Harkonnen Baronial Navy.

I wonder what "The Police" will think of that...

Juzo Okita...Is that you ?

*Wink.

"The Police" could call Sting the Roxanne-class ship. 😛

As for your question, it's nice to know that you, too, appreciate the classics of science fiction.

culanns_hound, thank you for holding up the Harkonnen part of the Landsraad's balance of power. 🙂 It's clear that you have an appreciation for the classics!

I'm 44 years old. I saw Flash Gordon and Return of the Jedi in the cinema, before internet or video.
Thanks.

Same here, comrade. For my part I saw those two and, among other sci-fi cinema classics, 2001: A Space Odyssey all as first-run movies.

As for age? I regret to say I'm ahead of you, leading the charge! I dearly wish I didn't have the (sharply increasing) medical bills to prove it. 🙁 Regardless, we're kindred souls here. [-handshake-]

I sure hope that culanns_hound considers actually implementing the idea for a Sting. In addition to helping the Harkonnen Baronial Navy, I'll have a great excuse to chuckle about the name as I fly it.

Besides, the Harkonnens need the extra help that an ion-beam-emitter-armed Sting would provide. I don't know if culanns_hound has been following Teg's House Atreides thread, but Teg has the Exodia as the centerpiece of the Atreidian Ducal Spaceforce. Exodia is the most economically-efficient battleship in the modding community. It carves apart far larger battleships with shocking ease. The key factor here is that Exodia is both a low-mass, stripped-down-to-essentials battleship as well as enjoying an insanely powerful combination of mutually-supportive guns, shielding, and energy.

If, as I hope, Sting is implemented as an alternate version of the game's Twin Ion Frigate, this would add a powerful tactical option for helping a Harkonnen fleet deal with the "multiple STRONG ships in one" hidden trick that Exodia revolves around.

You forgot the Barons suspensors. How is he meant to move around without them?
