Swiss ether-ships! big_smile

Re: Army Knives? Nah, why not some...

I dig the heavy cruiser.  3 primaries says early design to me, and it's unique.   big_smile

Who would they be fighting, though? What are some scenario ideers?

Re: Army Knives? Nah, why not some...

I was thinking maybe some raider-type scenarios? Where someone comes along, trying to raid a convoy, and find its got some Swiss etherships to deal with first? big_smile

Also, did you note every ship has gyros? I thought, since the Swiss are so good at making timepieces...:D

Re: Army Knives? Nah, why not some...

Sorry I didn't see these sooner, very fun little set of designs. 

As for the fluff, it's probably a tad anchronistic, but in order to get the Swiss involved maybe they get involved in mercenary work again?  That gives them an excuse to build some Ether-ships and keep abreast of foreign developments without completly breaking thier vaunted neutrality.

Love the clockwork design = gyroscope connection too, pretty clever peice of fluff.

Works for me.  They need some ships to guard their "neutral port" space station, right?  smile

Sorry to necro this thread, but I'm missing these ships--silly of me to put 'em in a file that then got lost. Does anyone else have them?
