if it does get in, do you think perhaps you can make smaller scale flyable versions? Honestly, RP wise it would make no sense for such a brilliant design to be let go to waste on a group such as the order. Love it.
on the last concept - it was said that it was a bit boring - not daring enough for a "new" and high tech ship. - so this is a redesign which goes away from the common liberty design and tries to apply the first really unique order design for capital warships.
its loosely based on the idea of a liner - and the modular borderworlds designs. - the bottom console is derived from the zoner ships ( gunboat )
the whole ship is not really "monstrous" - but roughly as tall as the kusari battleship - while being some 50% longer ( so its really big, but nothing too rediculous )
i put a lot of thought into the propulsion concept. - experimenting with different sophisticated ideas of non linear propulsion ( like grav drives seen in matrix ) - but in the end - freelancer isn t THAT much set in the distant future ( well it is - but its still conservative ).
this ship has six very large engine that are meant to function as jumpdrives ( similar to those of the sleeper ship ) ... it has four rather small thrusters on the wings ( the vertical slits ) - but its mostly meant to jump to other systems without the need of a jumphole / wormhole - and there it acts as a half stationary ship ( no cruise )
so far the idea behind it.
there is no more sunsail or other stuff on it - cause that might have been too much for freelancer. - the ship is meant to look very high tech - most of its hull is made of rather seamless hull parts. - with multiple windows - it might look a bit like a gigantic liner - but its function is to be something like a base ship / long distance escape ship.
