While it's a good model, I was always kind of preferrential to the junkers using cannibalized ship parts, rather than creating unique ships of their own.
The Recycler was always a good example of this - you can clearly see parts of the liberator, junker csv/collector, and several other ships in it's shape and design.
I also tend to prefer asymmetrical designs as opposed to symmetrical, when looking at factions like the junkers - make things lopsided, there's a certain beauty to something being incredibly ugly yet perfectly functional.
For a junker transport (which is what it seems you're designing here), why not take the forward section of a mammoth, the mid section of a clydesdale, and the rear section of a behemoth, with some satellite dishes and off-center cargo pods welded to the outside, all rusted up and scrap-looking?
nice detailing and a nice model. something I wouldn't be surprised to see being used by junkers in the sigmas (if factions ships changed regionally to reflect regional house tech), but not really anywhere else.
but good ship
but I could picture this being the bulldog.
edit: you know I took second look at it I can get it now. didn't realize it was supposed to be so big at first. still think it looks a bit kusarian though.
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.

Quite an unusual opinion you have.
I used simple shape, no fins and textures used in civilian transports.
Well we all have different associations though, oh and yes, it will be like Molly gunboat but twice longer, so you can imagine its size.

Have you seen the model for the Junker Gunship that's coming in the next update? Although it's quite a good model, it doesn't really have a Junker feel to it.
