This ship is something most people wouldn't mind having changed completely. As long as its still fighter sized, has a forward facing turret hardpoint, and looks better than the current model, you can do make whatever your imagination can come up with.
hm - while i would consider many parts of the model to be rather below quality - the SUM of them all makes for a VERY exciting ship indeed... in other words... i very much like it for some reason.
it is not "beautiful" but it looks good... it ignores common proportion aesthetics - but it looks "right".
very good design - and it looks FLish without relying on existing FL designs in my opinion
