GMG has immense wealth to the point that they even own their Tradelanes, JG's, plethora of mining instalations and the recently constructed Sakahalin and Niigata bases.. Between their penchant for using small strike craft in the Nebulas and their choke-hold on H-fuel market, I doubt they would have any financial issues with fielding the best tech in the smallest package they can get.
I've looked harder and realized something. The Taiidan HF is real small, and this would replace it. In that regard, the cockpit needs to be a lot bigger.
As a GMG pilot, that would be all you need to get my vote on it.
Here is a little challenge to you Mister Jinx:
Can you incorporate a streamlined look with a hint of the asymmetry of the Taidaan? it seems odd, but the 'old' Taidaan HF had three hardpoints clustered together on the left side. Three guns could appear to fire as one for a very distinctive effect (sort of how an F-16 fires its cannon off-center).
Streamlining, with a little eccentricity - could this possibly be a GMG design pattern?
The ship is good but I feel it need some work on front part because in my point of view the front part logically don't look like a VHF....work on the front part a little and then I think a great VHF can evolve...............AND one more thing you are really doing GREAT WORK JINX.........
