It's terrible in my opinion, it's merely a mash up of the front of a Patriot with a Defender. I'd like more originality please.
Bash away, I don't mind, Taylor Swift is too hot for me to complain:D
I suppose theroretically, it could be updated or upgraded im future versions, to simulate perfecting and 'uniqueifying' (new word) the design, but for now, this is it
Kablob, pics added to the first post, their from milkshape, but you'll get the idea
Sprofl, the Rheinlanders are clearly scared of Liberty's superior LPI designers and tried to copy it

well it looks more defender then patriot. maybe add parts of the tail section of the patriot and replace the rear spoiler. also why does LPI need a bomber anyway? kickbutt name
Ok, here's some feedback - all is my personal opinion:
- enlarge the new cockpit a bit, or prolong it slightly.
- no torpedo tubes, please
- Perhaps the spoiler, so typical for Guardian and Defender, could be replaced with another shape. Avenger & Executioner have the typical top fin. If you can come up with a unique shape (ship part) that looks vanilla, it would be great and the ship would become fairly good. Perhaps some sort of a police beacon?
- it's rather unlikely for it to be included as a third Liberty bomber. Maybe if you'd like to declare one of the existing ones obsolete. To me, the Havoc MkII would seem like the most unfitting in Freelancer universe.

1. Enlarging the cockpit may help make it look a but tougher, prolonging it not so much, I think it'll look a bit stretched
2. I personally like torpedo tubes, though I see where your comming from. They currently serve to make the ship a bit more unique from its relatives. I'll look into removing them if I can come up with a way to keep the differences from the Defender
3. A different spoiler would work well, may be hard to find a LPI style one. What did you mean by police beacon? A metaphorical one, or an actual beacon for a spoiler
4. I like variation, its much better to see different ships each day then the same old eagle, roc, roc, eagle,roc, etc. Also, its not really the third liberty bomber, the usage rates for the Havoc are frankly tiny, although several people were working on a replace I think.
All in all, thanks for the useful suggestions. The physical modeling may have to wait for an update though, until i find something good.

*thinks about stereotypes*
What about something looking like a donut?
No wait, that would perhaps look too odd.
In a brilliant tactical movement, i charged backwards.

Bombers need huge powercores, and meshing together a VHF and a LF does not produce that.
Shryke is right.
And I personally dont like the Libertonian fighters, so, I dont like this LPI bomber either. Anyway I must thank you for your effort you put in here. Good job!

Well, from what I last heard of the stats, and we're treading into forbidden waters here for a bit, it's going to be a light bomber. IE, Smallish powercore for a bomber, I Torp slot and one dedicated CD slot, and more agility than normal.
*waits for flames to commence*
