Errmm......guarding not 'gauding'. Learn your grammar or else we will slap you with a grammar book.:P
Anyways, back to topic.
As everyone says: COOL SHIP!
Though, i have to say it's to thin to be a battleship or cruiser. Maybe a Gunship or bomber.
But then again, thats my thought.
' Wrote:Looks pretty cool, but I think it could use a lot more mass in the back.
Something along the lines of:
but not necessarily as big. It's a way to add hitbox to that ship while retaining the coolness factor; and it really does need to be more hittable along the horizontal so that hitting reverse doesn't make it invulnerable.
I also agree with Tenacity's suggestion to replace the Huntress with this.
If it is made as a battleship, I see this getting caught in every single asteroid field and then being stuck and simultaneously exploding. Cruiser size and below should be fine. Let's make it the Huntress (Umbrage?) replacement.

We're trying to do away with imports, thats a ship from Babylon 5. Very cool looking I agree, but alas... It would be an import.
Yes I would love this ship for the Phantoms.
I was kidding only - gee...:P
I won't waste my time modeling a huge ship - im a noob at modeling.
Phantoms don't need a new cap. For a strange terrorist org that no one understands or knows and has just a couple members.... they don't need a cap fleet.
Nice model, I am not sure how it can be adapted to other factions though.

Don't want to give the Phantoms another ship, that's fine. But if the Huntress is needing to be replaced then there you go.
Hi guys.....thanks for all the feedback and suggestions. I am happy to see so many freelancer fans appreciating my design.
Based on your feedback, I have thought about making this a destroyer class vessel for the phantoms.....and as a potential replacement of the huntress import
So I re-sized it to a destroyer class vessel and projected it on a space backdrop.....check the picture below
The Phantom 'Widow Queen' destroyer
I will continue to work on the model.....though I find little time to do such stuff and post images in case I update the model in anyways
the model is actually pretty good, and a very good "break from the mould" by going with an unfamiliar design. however, taking into consideration the way freelancer is, im not really sure a pure vertical ship is something that would be practical for freelancer, what with all the bumping, asteroids and stuffs.
the model instead, could perhaps be beefed with details further and made into perhaps a base, or you could make it so its horizontal (and thus the perfect replacement in my opinion for the huntress), but in the end, the decision to make is not really ours, its the phantoms', since its them who will be flying it.
