Although the model is nice, the fact that the old one was replaced without any questions to the community is just plain cheap and rude.
I mean, people have spent the odd 700million credits, which would equate to a lot of time spent in the game trading, to buy the ship based on all it's factors, including it's looks.
You simply ignored that and changed the model without really asking any of those people.
While it might be said it's up to Igiss, it's also up to those who have invested their own time into getting the ship.
