it does look good, but its not RH style.

The Hessians do not need a BS....
Also, the legs make me shriek!
But, I digress, I fail to see the reasoning behind a Hessian BS. I mean, really, can I get an FA BS if this happens?

A Hessian battleship makes more sense than a Blood Dragon one, but I don't think they need one.
Battleships are useless in the Omegas, and in the environments the Red Hessians draw the Rheinland Military into (nebulas, asteroid fields, etc).

The model itself is quite good and clean, however I don't think it fits into the disco universe at all. The legs seem quite useless, and without them the body is plain. Also the engine pattern itself is a bit... flower-power?
You've clearly got some modelling ability, but this design just isn't right for us.

Uhh, make it smaller and you can use the legs to carry cargo pods and you'll have another supertransport of doom.
Red Hessian CENTIPEDE Dreadnought - darthbeck - 04-30-2009
not bad....for some sort of transport.

It pwns. It doesn't make sense or fit, but it pwns.

LOL! that comment wins.:lol:
also,
1. the red hessians dont need a battleship
2. the red hessians dont need an insect battleship
3. the model is very good, but it doesnt fit into freelancer at all.
4. why not model it and texture it, then use it to make a new icon for nanobots?:D

Zoids ftw
You weren't lying when you said it was a centipede. It looks more like something that would operate on ground, rather than in space. I think you came up with the name of the ship before the model, which probably isn't the best way to do things. Ships in freelancer rarely, if not never look like the things they are named after. To me it looks like you said "Okay, I wanna build a ship called "Centipede" and you ended up building a Centipede.
It looks like a good model... maybe just not suited well to Freelancer... The legs look unnecessary for anything other than aesthetics.
Furthermore, I don't think its' up to anyone but Igiss to decide who deserves a battleship and who doesn't. The Liberty Rogues don't need a Destroyer, but hey, we got one.

I'm going to kill you Johann for this! :laugh:
On topic. The ship looks nice and something refreshingly new among the models, BUT...
Like people said. Hessians hardly have a need to have a dreadnought. The only ship would in RP it would be the flagship of the Hessians. I can't see any reasonable way to have a fleet of them flying around.
And it does not look Rheinlandish and the parts on the ship should have a reason to be there. Be that reason utilitarian or reflecting factions ideals and beliefs.
But, I like the looks of it. Something refreshing. Maybe convert it to a big transport or miner transport or such. Those legs could then be docking arms. Or maybe it could be a basis for a space station if you run with the idea of those legs being docking arms. Disco could use new stations (a possible new IMG base type?)
