would it help anything to only retexture the bad ships

[jonfreelanc]

True, imports were priority number one, though almost no one wants to make replacements for those.
I have been impressed by seeing how year in year those imports were ignored unlike popular and closed factions ships models.
Also, where all the modellers gone? Where is the model dev lead? Why there is no one who checks ship submission thread for possible models? Why there is never a word of dev on ship we do and why those topics are most of the time get forgotten by everyone? Why can't we be sure at least at 50% that our effort won't be simply ignored? Why there is no encouragement? And why we have such ships as Arrastra, which seems to be done in hurry and definitely lacks proper quality level, are being approved without a community's word?

what is wrong with the arrastra mining ship? I thought it was great. it matches the infocard perfectly and looks like a mining ship. I honestly don't think there is anything at all wrong with it. It is not a super sleek mining fighter, it's a years old, borderline robot, asteroid mining tech.

only thing about it that bothers me is the location of the cockpit

it's not clear

so I recently started exploring Coronado. I must say you're all doing a wonderful job.
so I recently started exploring Koeln. I must say you're all doing an amazing job.
some time ago I explored Rousillon. Impressive. Particularly the music on the planet that was a nice surprise.
so I recently started exploring Omega-55. LOL... NOMADS. LOTS AND LOTS OF NOMADS. SHOOTING THINGS. I GOT THE HELL OUT OF THERE. (and I was thinking, jeez I can't remember what that one was from the news. I hope I don't run into a nomad system)
recently started exploring Omega-41. what did you guys do to the star? that new effect there, that's impressive.
