Based upon the FL Intro Coalition ship that you can see bombarding from orbit and being smacked aside as the Colony Ships broke through the blockade, it still needs to be hitboxed/hardpointed, but it's textures and model are completed (Unfortunately he can't do it himself ).
Thoughts, +1's and constructive criticism is appreciated upon the model and even Dev/Admin input is liked. The model uses the same texture-type as the Tempest just incase folks were wondering. XD
quick edit:
A size comparison between it and a LABC to help put it's size into perspective.
The 2011 model is nolonger around, it went missing and was unrecoverable. It's only now we've decided to try again after that massive setback.
As for the Fwrd Gun question, IRP those are, OORPly that's something to be discussed with the Developers and if accepted wouldn't individually be as strong as say a LABC's Fwrd Cannon due to there being 4 Guns.
