I'm leaning more strongly toward option 3 from above. Maybe the best approach for this would be to throw out the WEG images of Omze's and just have it visually identical to the Neutron Star-Class.
The Action series would be a good platform for an Armed Merchant Cruiser, which sounds right up CEC's alley. The concept is that its weapons are supposed to be so old and unreliable that they are completely stripped out and turned into starfighter carriers for Alliance service. The significantly more powerful version is based off an FFG adventure, and is supposed to be the original version of the Neutron Star.

Changing the stats of the Battle Horn to reflect a more modern, updated version of the basic Neutron Star, possibly with a more balanced, more reliable weapon system, including turbolasers, lasers, tractor beams and room for a starfighter squadron.Īnything I've missed? Which one do you like best? Thoughts? Looking up some art work on the internet to hang the Battle Horn name on
Making the Battle Horn a CEC product and using the images for Omze's Incredible Traveling Starport as the Battle Horn. I've considered a few solutions, but haven't really settled on anything.
