This looks like an LSF ship, especially with the black texture.
I think it looks great and fits that faction well however I have balance issues regarding this ship.
I notice that the front profile is very slim, it looks like an upholder only the fact that it's alot smaller. It basically have the shape of a pancake, and pancake shaped ships aren't that common especially when it comes to Very Heavy Fighters because that certain shape give them an extremely higher advantage when it comes to dodging. (Reference: Shadow)
I'm really in favor of something along the lines of a replacement or so, with making that a Heavy Assault Ship that can really just duke it out.
As for the LSF Variant of it, slim, fast, cloak and dagger, nuff said.

We will remember - We do not Forget - We do not Forgive
Replace the Executioner, call it a day. The thinner profile will allow it to dodge like a proper HF, rather than be "reduced firepower and hull in exchange for always being pointed at your opponent" as it is now. You might not even need to change the stats, just make a hitbox for it.
I approve, though the smoothness is a bit much... as I said the first time around.
Upholder replacement might also work, though I think that ship needs to be carefully tailored with an end balancing concept in mind more than anything else.
I can see those ships replace the Upholder, which will be fixed in the next releases. (bug)
As for making one a VHF and the other a HF... It is not logical since both ships have the same shape, size and gun points.
I would prefer myself to make the LSF/Black one a LSF (only) VERY heavy fighter; not some kind of ship every navy Joe would fly. Rather a ship used only by LSF and maybe the Navy spec ops. This would help to make the LSF more distinct from the Navy.

Why not use it as the Fighter partner to the Upholder? They Both could be "next Gen" style ship for liberty, as if the older Defender/Avenger Style where being Phased out. That would definetly give the game a "live" feel. Plus it would be ideal time for Liberty to desgin a new fighter, wouldn't it? Afterall they have, relatively recently entered a war with Rhienland. With a fighter looking so advance it could be part of a "moral boots" release.
