Vaygr Stalker DD ••••• (complete) Nakamura

Applying cloak to current heavy DD and changing name to stalker destroyer.

A bit of a change of plans: let's replace the vaygr cruiser with this, to make everything easier. We can call it "Stalker Cruiser", since based on it's armament it's a quite heavy ship. It would be the Vaygr equivalent of the Recon Cruiser, sort of.

Any news from Oni?

Okay, let's go for a Stalker Cruiser
Nope, no news from Oni, I didn't ask him.

Why do we need to replace it? Current Vaygr cruiser is quite a good ship. The Stalker (=Recon type) cruiser has a different role.

I agree that it's a different role, however many people have been complaining that the guardian/cruiser don't really match the Vaygr design.
The Ion Cruiser already performs quite well as an anti-frigate/capital, seeing as the fusion missiles and kinetic guns easily handle multiple targets, while the ion array rips through capital ships with incredible power. Basically, the cruiser and ion cruiser currently do the same thing, except for the ion cruiser's ability to penetrate defense fields.

Indeed, but sometimes it's good to have a bit of variety
After thinking about it, I think that this cruiser model should not be removed, and imo it fits Vayg style highly more than the Vortex does for the Hiigarans.
Another idea I had was to set the old artillery cruiser model to a normal cruiser, my cruiser model to an artillery cruiser, and the old cruiser model as a raider cruiser, it would fit its shape like a charm.And to make him not overlap with a Stapker destroyer, it could have specific mecanics, like 20% more dammages against production capital ship.

The ??? indicates that there needs to be another person on this job. What else would have to be done? Because I'd be pretty much useless with moddeling :p

Texturing, creation of the .hod file, the .ship file, the .events file are needed.

Due to the complete lack of texturing workpower, I`ll postpone the texturing of this model until a race that fits the design is added (taiidan or turranic).

We`ll use the heavy destroyer model for the concept of the stalker destroyer.
Changes will be easily done by changing a few lines.
