There is no Junker gunboat on the drawing board. May be one or two civvy ones coming which they can use.

Ok this are good news- it means that Swallow Model is the LF one and Dark Striker Models cover the HF and VHF or I didn't understood something again? http://discoverygc.com/wiki/Bull_Dog this HF got replaced right?

Dev update:
- Moved the Shetland to Carslile per Xoria/Friday's request. It'll stay in Newcastle for a bit.
- Swapped the gun types and hardpoints for the Cruiser light and heavy guns, and the Battleship light and heavy guns. The only effect this will have is that the heavy weapons will end up at the top of the weapons list - players can assign hotkeys to these as needed. Only the first 10 guns can be hotkeyed to the gun itself, makes sense to have the heavier guns in this listing.
- Replaced the Mastodon with a new model provided by Jinx. (Damn, that thing was ugly)
Kind reminder to folk who ask for models and submit them: Make sure you only submit the final versions. I REALLY hate it when I spend 4-6 hours on a model to ensure there's no compatibility issues, and then get told "oh, we'll make a new one 'cause this one doesn't really look good". If 4.87 doesn't feature a Bret light gunboat, that'll be why.

I put my word on sufficient quality level of Gitano model.
Clean model, patiently put textures at each spot, sufficient quality of hitbox melted from three parts to provide well performance and good shape following.
I only hadn`t named it.

Replaced Jinx model with Jinx model. Hmm.
I pray that the new Mastodon has higher-quality textures than previously. Especially not that same texture panel that has appeared on all of his other ships. At least the gaps between the faces will be filled this time, right?
(Also, it wasn't that ugly. There are a fair few worse ships.)
occasionally, we do replace a model that was made in the late 4.84 with a model that is possibly fitting in better in 4.87. we do hope that in the past 5+ years skills, and also taste has changed enough to justify a revision. - even if its the same modeller.
and of course we also took care of those nasty little holes in the model.
