I disagree. It's a good quality model, and would fill the one empty slot in Rheinland's ship line. Blame Mjolnir for poor balance.
I'm also going to note upon this. The RMBC would offer an alternate role to the RM line that wasn't touched upon save the gunboat.
That being the Forward Gun. Of all the Rheinland(lawful) ships only the RM GB has a forward gun. While this is not a bad thing, nor am I saying in any way that any of the other ships are poor fighters. It would add just enough touch of variety to the RM line.
It was a wonderfully well modeled ship complete with a unique touch in the form of the targeting turret. In addition to being slim and long rather than the standard long and fat, or slim and tall.
I understand the reasoning behind the fear of adding new ships to the game. And the Rheinland line -is- fairly complete as it is. But at the same point, ships are being added to Bretonia (afaik) that being the gunship and a light carrier, to complete their lines. I'm not too certain why it would be such a crime to complete Rheinland's line.
Because it's something that could kill Mjolnir, I'm guessing. That's usually why we don't get nice things.

Can't we remove the crappy MK1 ships that nobody uses to free up the arbitrary number of slots of ships that can be in the mod?
a somewhat twisted concept of what may have become another gunboat for BW. ignore the grey, it ll be blueish
treat them as placeholders atm - might get something more fitting some time. these are just recycled models so we can get the "idea" of those civi GBs out. design changes are pretty much ensured in the future.
also - i decided to update the normal zoner GB, the overlarge window made it appear funny compared to other GBs of a similar size
So far Aet said that Civilian one will be equal to IMG and BW one equal...To something else.
Overall expect them to be medium gunboats like orca (IMO).
