I'll be honest, I know you wanted to Crayterian it out
I think the polys for such a ship is way too high(I know its the engines buy dang)
Are you sure you won't make one into a freighter as well? Because I know the devs aren't looking for another VHF to put in, but they might put a new BW freighter in.
it's more intended as a new heavy fighter. I'd really love to make the new freighter that's supposed to get implemented, but I have no freaking idea what to make as a freighter... This design doesn't fit a freighter...
those are finished textures to me, but can always be changed. What makes it look like crayterian are the red parts. I might actually change them into something else. I didn't decide yet.

It's very cool. The color scheme suggests to me, obviously, CR origins. Perhaps it could be a rejected, experimental Crayterian testbed for the new CR engine technology that later got dumped out onto the open market. Furthermore, it looks like some sort of SHF. This is all just stuff that occurs to me as I'm writing, but it's definitely a departure from the way most ships "feel" in Discovery, and I think that's a positive thing.
I finally succeeded in reducing the poly count to under 7k on the first model, meaning the fighter
Had to remove some details but the overall design stays the same.
The only thing that bugs me is the big red lips of it. Aside from that, it reminds me of the vulcan shuttle from Star Trek. Same shape, just without lips. ;3
