The Carrack, because it's a dong.

The Lancer, because it's also a dong.

This is what happens when there's no editor and no art director for something.

You get space penises.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you post of the year.

Seeing that makes me want to spray paint my sister's personal pleasure device grey and mount it on two large flying bases...

That would require touching your sisters personal pleasure device...

It would be worth it just to see it slowly vibrate it's way across a vinyl gaming mat... "THE'YRE COMING STRAIGHT AT US. TAKE EVASIVE ACTION!"

GROW UP PEOPLE!

( nobody saw me laughing at the posts above )

The ONLY moment that would be "worth it" would be the look of utter, indescribable horror on her face when she walked in mid-battle and saw what you'd done with it.

Everything before and after that moment would be very, very UN-worth it.

...and then the parents walk in and ask "where did you get that?"

Oh dear, I think this thread has run it's course

But beyond the obvious resemblance to 'personal massagers' those ships are so damned uninteresting

I wouldn't buy them because of their looks. I'd buy them because they're both EXCELLENT anti-starfighter platforms. :D

Let's be fair, it would make a terrific modding opportunity. Who'd waste their time putting engine lights on a Falcon when they could be taking the rumble device out of their Xbox controller and installing it on the Carrack or the Lancer? And don't get me started on the euphemisms. The albino space hippo has nothing on the gunmetal cosmic wanger.

Getting serious for a minute, I prefer the Carrack out of the two. I'd be happy enough seeing one in the game... but judging from the pictures released for the Epic games so far, I'm not sure if it's a bit too big...

I cant argue their merit as anti starfighter platforms. But there are so many better ways they could have been designed. With the number of people they had working for LFL and West end games etc surely someone would have said "No, try this instead"

Dammit! Now I will never be able to take those ships serious again.

But, I was thinking about the development of the Lancer earlier. The problem is, I am already disappointed that the Gallofree and the CR90 were relatively reduced in scale. If it were to be done in 1/270, wouldn't the Lancer have to be over 3' long? The Carrack is considerably longer. :-(

Actually their design works really well for what it's supposed to do. The round hull means half the guns have coverage on any one ship at any given time.

Which is why i will not argue their merit for the purpose they are designed for. Aesthetically on the other hand they are so ugly they make my gums ache. But of course that is all relative to ones tastes. Personally i like battleships with bridge towers and 18 inch triple turrets ignoring the fact that they make no sense at all in space so my opinion is questionable at times

If I may add to some of the previous terrible ships... another contender is the Hornet-class interceptor. It's from the same book as the Suncrusher, and so pitiful that it has only appeared in a handful of sources.

Wow! Just looked that one up. Very Very bad. Unless you want to do a game set in the 'I Worship his shadow' universe in which case it is perfect

But it's a giant space bee fightery-thing. How could one not want one.

Because even if you are the last group of pilots on a death ride against the colossus that is destroying your world you cant look groovy in a big bee/dragonfly *L*
