Ok, I made a Civilian gunship in my spare time after the final exam I had today - don't worry i think i passed - anywho, the reason why i made this is to eliminate 'independent' players taking faction gunships to use it as mercs or freelancering. Instead they could use a gunship that is open to all civilians - though, thats my thought. The ship is almost done - lets say 88% finished, just need to fix some touches. The poly-count of the model is 710 - good enough i'll say. I might scale the ship to 5%-12% lower - nothing much. Because for me is kinda.....errmmm.....flat? Anyways, here it is:
way too flat and nothing to do with civilian line - or freelancer design. poly count is a bit high for the simplicity of the model which in turn is not adequate for a ship supposedly the size of a gunship
My advice, because I like the design and want to see it evolve.
Make it have a bridge superstructure, something \[]o/ like Asymmetrical with antenna. maybe like a small conning tower that is popular with gunboats.
This isn't a military vessel so it is okay to have, as Yue put it, some more complexity to it.
The tail is the worst part of it in my opinion, I like the body though. Has some eagle-ish inspiration. maybe a more pronounced keel with some details, like ammo boxes or the like. Or armour plating that is external and obvious... I refer you to some russian tanks with reactive armour packs mounted on.
It is okay to go in a new direction, a little, with this design. But try to include some more of the Eagle in there.

Yue, please be more helpful - I mean, whats the poly count for a gunship?
It looks fantastic for a start, though to combat the 'flatness' make the wings a bit more curved, and maybe raise the cockpit upwards, to give it a very defined bridge.
Also, maybe make the fusilage slightly more cylindrical, it would help eliminate the 'flatness' that seems to be disliked.
