The shape will make it pretty hard to balance properly, being that fat for a fighter at the back is the last thing you want when choosing a ship. As Epo said, it looks like a freighter more than a fighter. It needs to be something a Xeno player will say "hey, why am I picking this ship over the Eagle or Raven's Talon?".
Instead of going for the smooth hull style what about a space-hotrod look, like this. I imagine using old Libertonian ships in the same way people use old 50's cars and even Model T Fords would appeal to a Xeno, what better traditionalist revenge than destroying the "rotten" new with the refurbished old.
Maybe take the Avenger/Guardian and skip it back two generations, slim down the hull, put a boxy cockpit on the front and strap those sweet bolted on engines on, with a nice set of added pipes and rust it'd probably look sweet.
Also I'll stop butting in to your model threads Swallow, its becoming a bad habit.

That tickles every spot of me in all the right ways, please just give it to the xenos already.
