I apologize to who ever made this..thing... but It looks horrid... I am really sorry, it may look nice to you but the general consensus seems to point to dislike.
If you go by the general engineering of other Bretonian ships (i.e. GB, Cruiser, BS), the carrier certainly follows suit. In RP sense, it makes sense that the Carrier, being a newer vessel to a country quickly running out of resources and warships might cobble something new from old BS parts and such (which is what it looks like to me).
I say give it a chance. Haters gonna hate, anyways.
I see where you coming from, but look at the image I am posting. The areas in question are pointed out. Also, what is the point of the chin? If Bretonia is assembling military crafts from used materials it is a waste to make such a big chin of the ship . This is a space ship, not a bulldozer.
The hole chin could be stretch along X-axis and moved to the middle, serving a purpose of a hangar for fighters and bombers. The overall design is flawed, i can point out numerous places where a simple adjustment of the parts would yield a better looking result.

Exactly whats been in mind about that ship. No House in Freelancer general RP that is under attack by a conquering force like GRN would dare to paint their ships to look nice, awesome and luxury when their resources are diminishing with every day.
Actually, the negativity against the ship model/design serves a great purpose because the community (that dislike the model) will feel in RP how desperate Bretonians are and what they do in HASTE in order to protect what is left, their capital...their home.
Ugly as hell. You are saying that they were desperate but that doesn't mean they jusy rushed to glur some parts togheter in order to "just put somethong there". I wonder if it can get uglyer. And what's with the medieval knight helmet like thing on its head? Seriously? Decades in future but they decorate the ship with a medieval "protection. They had to just build something fast vs galia, doesn't matter how it looks, but they had time to put a Huge piece of metal that serves no purpose. No matter how much you will say that RP and blaj blah this just looks ugly like hell.
*shrug* It's a prototype. Wasn't meant to be player flyable. Yet.
