so - here is a revised version of the recon cruiser. - some people complained about its shape and aesthetics - especially the "can like" dome of the bridge structure.
now here is a bulky version of it..
it is easy to see that this would not be such an agile and defensive ship - but rather a fully fletched heavy cruiser. - it is MUCH closer to the osiris but makes use of smaller twin engines instead of the liberty model. - i chose this idea over the "drum" model of liberty capships, - cause i think a more internal engine supports the idea of a "stealthier" ship - however much its worth when flying a ship of that size anyway.
the ship still looks a lot skinnier than the osiris but a good deal heavier than the current recon cruiser - i believe. so it would fit to the shipclass.
i got rid of the hexagon shaped frame that functioned as the main sensor array and got down to only add multiple antennas - that doesn t make any more sense but looks like its a listening post.
i d also have to say that i m not sure if i even skin this ship - cause i think that the current recon ship is more than good enough AND it also has a perfect hitbox and balance. so this ship could only be added if someone else was willing to make a hitbox for it - and i don t only mean one of two attempts and then give up ... but to go all the way until there is a hitbox that actually works 100%.
