Order freighter "?"

This is a proposal of a freighter for the Order (for 4.86). It will use similar design as the light fighter concept i have already presented. Values above with "*" might change in the balance process. Class of guns and turrets would also be decided in the balance process. Current location allows all weapons to shoot forward and all turrets to shot backward.
The last screenshot with the wireframe gives an imagination of size. There are a pilot and copilot in the cockpit with same size as you can see ingame in various cockpits.

General question: Does Order need a freighter?
Next question: What name to give?

Comments, critics, ideas, suggestions?

I'm personally not inclined to believe that the Order would need a freighter, perhaps something larger to support their economic and habitational substructure.

Secondly it doesn't feel like a freighter to me, the forward swept wings that you've reiterated from the lightfighter makes it feel too frail, and ornamental. It doesn't strike me as fitting for the Order or its proposed role.

On the other side the model itself is nice, the shape is intuitive and the texture job, as quite often is with your work, well done. :)

yeah you alread know my opinion on these wings... =P
So I'll just indeed ask, does the order really need a freighter... Corsairs, I can understand they want to hijack cargo, but the order?

I really dont think that the Order needs a freighter. They dont have anything to trade besides supplies between their bases ( i think). Also , the ship really doesnt look that freighter-ish. At least , i dont think freighters would have such huge wings.

Other than that , looks cool

They dont have anything to trade besides supplies between their bases ( i think).

And supplies aren't important?:P

I don't see it as a ship anyone would use, but one The Order would need if players actually had to handle supplying their bases.

Something that might help it look like a freighter is moving the wings back, shielding the cargo section instead of extending forward past the cockpit.

or make the wings really thick and have those be the cargo sections.

several order players are flying armored transports and the like, using them as transports for nomad remains/specimens, and nomad research.

I dont see the problem with a freighter-type ship, but I'm not entirely sure of this model. It does look good, but as others have mentioned... it feels a bit frail.

Can't they use the Zoner GB, which in itself is a heavyly-armoured freighter?

Nice design tough.

Well, a workaround along wings doesn't make sense, if Order player have no use for a freighter. The current used cockpit and skin (in different color) only Liberty and BHG would be left to use it. Liberty has Rhino and probably a Rhino MkII in the future, also the limited Grizzly, while BHG will have the same as Order. No need for a freighter.

To turn it into a civilian ship is too much work. Its better to start from first scratch.

I will wait for further comments, before i decide to overwork it or to park it somewhere on my desk.

Can you post how it looks with the wings flipped the other way?
