I could build a package and default install a slip stream drive for those that want to use it out side of the mod I'm building.It wouldn't be soon though still have things on my plate to finish.
Aren't X3 ships limited in the number of turret positions available ...albeit each position can have a number of guns... But wouldn't such a long ship have a ton of blind spots?
Also, it would be totally trivial to blow the crap out of it as it exits a gate since it wont be able to turn at all for like 2 minutes as it has to wait for half it's length to clear the gate or risk colliding and exploding itself.
side note. I haven't bothered testing this idea... but a ship like the aran can dock a cap ship externally... If i shoot at the cap ship, does the aran take damage or the cap ship or none? If none, that would be a pretty evil way to create a nearyl indestructable ship. A very slim needle like ship with hexagonal 360degree docking bays for other wedge shaped equally long ships ...they dock ..at the end of each dock clamp is a turret. You can shoot enemies..but enemies just hit docked ships. And you still fit through gates.
