Ship Design Request (OOC planning)

What I need is a line of ships that look like commerical boats, but have guns that can hide and pop out. I need at least 3 ships. One that looks like a small fishing boat. One that looks like a larger fishing boat or ferry. And one that looks like a Freighter. They dont have to be very big. Just big enough to do the job. These are going to be pirate ships. Modern pirate ships. No cannons please.

You mean like the stuff the germans used in WWI, but with missiles instead of cannons. I'm sure I can make you a good deal. I'll get to work right away.

[OOC: They're going to be used for criminal activity? Drat. Nothing personal, but if that's the case, I can't sell you this vessel (http://z14.invisionfree.com/PIW/index.php?showtopic=32&view=findpost&p=3897985)...]

yes, but crime as in stealing and sinking ships. That is a yact. This isn´t for white collar crimes.

Exactly. Thank you for the help. Can part of my payment include 14 Sovermenny Destroyers I am retiring from service?

Yes. A more modern and heavily armed Q ship designed for engaging surface ships rather then submarines, but same basic idea.

Yes, but simple modifications - e.g. stripping the inside for cargo room, engine upgrades, etc. could leave you with a pretty good pirating vessel. Plus a yacht looks rather inconspicuous.

A yact would look strange in most of the parts I am going to operate these vessels. I need stuff that can blendin with the local ships. After those are complete, I can design kits to make these ships fit into where they´re operating.

I Designed a Q style ship when I first joined NS for use in the Vetakan Pirate Wars I never did a Image of the ship nor where any produced but if I can find it would you for pay say 75 Billion USD for the DPR's to the ship?

It was the first ship I designed :)

Leafistan might have something on his Mafia storefront....

I probably spelt that wrong through so searching for him might well draw a blank. It shouldn't be too hard to take a cargo vessel and stick some hidden weaponry on it, missiles etc in VLS tubes even if you have the technology for something lik it. Although for pirating then missiles would only be used against coast guard or navy i suspect.

Lots of cargo space and some good speed to catch enemy boats would be useful probably, and maybe a good few smaller boats to assault target ships.

Uh... I dont really know much about ships so the only ideas I gave was a to have at least 3 classes small, medium, and large and I guess to be cheap to maintain and repair.

It´s Leafanistan. Dont worry lots of people make that mistake. Yeah I need the speed and stuff, but with smaller boats, its probaly not gonna be nessesary, just the larger ones.
