Gah! I don't have a way at the moment to post an image so you'll need to screen-grab > copy > paste > Enhance ! on your own
I've taken a closer look at the ship on the screen in page 6 and have observed the following features. My money is on a 3rd party as its profile doesn't seem to match well with the two main races.
- Looks like a rectangle with rounded sides and a mild wedge-shaped bow
- Doesn't seem to have any kind of thrust-vectoring around the engine nacelles
- Engine exhausts look rectangle shaped where as Umiak and Loroi ships tend to be rounded
- Engines are close to the main ship-body with a large boxy structure between them with a rounded off top
- Seems to have an oval-shaped structure above or attached to the main body between the engines
- Seems to have a lighter-colored streak along the port side near the engines (lights or wing maybe?)
- Doesn't appear to have forward prongs nor any prominent rounded shapes like Umiak or Loroi
- Profile is clean without allot of "stuff" sticking out or prominent stand-out features
- Its about 300 meters long so that narrows things down and eliminates almost all Lorori capital ships and just about all the smaller craft. Lots of Umiak ships in that size range though.
I've gone back and looked at the Loroi ship-profiles and to my eyes these are the candidates.
- Forward Prongs are common on Loroi ships
- Loroi Engines tend to be widely spaced and frequently have prominent thrust vectoring veins. (though a few don't follow this style)
- Clean profiles but gun-turrets are easily visible
- Usually long tubes with lots of rounded or angular corners resembling fast fighter jets or bombers.
* Typhoon - Length: ~800m - unlikely as its Way to huge
* Halberd Mk.17 - Length: ~600 m - Still way to big
* Wavestrider - Length: ~600 - Too big
* Catapult - Length: ~550 m - To big and while a boxy-shape it seems to be wrong in other areas
* Cutlass - Length: ~300 m - Very close match if the prongs are hidden by the viewing perspective, however engines seem wrong
* Blaze - Length: 234 m - Close but it has very prominent engine veins, perhaps not visible on the screen due to perspective?
* Herald - Length: 200 m - On the small side and has engine veins but is about the right shape.
Doesn't look Umiak either; those tend to be more rounded shapes with lots of things dangling off or attached while the shape on the screen looks to be more of a box shape with a clean profile. Anyway, it could be one of these but there are lots of ships in that size range that have no profile silhouette to base any guesses around.
- Appear to have lots of round structures
- Often have lots of antenna or other structures protruding from the main hull
- Not very angular or boxy though the ships do tend to have flat-blunt bows (not wedge shaped)
* Type-KS Missile - Length: 300-400 m - Front end has prominent rounded wing like structures
* Type-G Gunboat Tender - Length: 300-400 m - Rounded shape with obvious stringers on side
Yes, I spent way to much time on this post and detail but I figure it makes up for the infrequent times that I post anything to the forum.
Peace out
