off of all the "homeworld" ships - the SHF is still one of the more popular. - but looks a bit strange among the other ships. ( considering it was a frigate or so in homeworld - i think... )
so, since it has its use, and some people even fly it - i made a SHF model that for it as a direct replace. - this is only a suggestion.... who knows.. maybe everyone loves its look and there is no need to replace it.
this ship features smoother forms than the common freelancer ships - but originates in the dromedary ( believe it or not ) - its actually, a stretched dromedary concept that was split in half and combined with an eagle body. ( i haven t used any of those shapes - but they are the underlaying ideas )
the whole design is meant to be big, and somewhat heavy - but not massive in terms of clumbsy. i do not plan to skin a canopy for it - but will instead add optical occulars - just like the kiith somtaav has, - so that it may remain one of the AI ships.
it is definitely NO generic freelancer design, and does not really fit in very very well. - however, the kiith somtaav is supposed to be of "alien origin" ( i know, its a weak excuse ) - but so it may look somewhat rounder, more elegant.
this is a simple design, very concervative - there are no inspired innovations about it - its all pretty straight foreward.
