I think you have a clear sense of aesthetic and it definitely shows, but you should try modeling from scratch instead of throwing parts together.
Thanks for the feed back. I agree with your views and have done some models from scratch but some how it didn't look Corsair-ish. I had to resort to this to get the desired effect. People seem to like it though.
The Praefect is considered by many to be sub-par, another cruiser is a fine addition. Plus more alternatives is always good, Corsairs have a lot of enemies.
I still suggest going for mainstream weapon class, few heavies + few primaries. Too many Solaris will make it too good against lesser ships, a trait that siege cruiser shouldn't have.

If you want to see a subpar cruiser look at the OC Storta.

The Praefect is considered by people who know what they're talking about, to be very good.
Ah yeah I've seen this, great work and I do support it +1
Corsair are more an agressive Faction a siege cruiser seems perfect for their Raids, not to mention it would make things more interesting down in the Omegas.
Concerning number of Praefects in use, I'd say Sairs need a dessie. I like old one model a lot. Maybe even a gunship and one light bombero-sombrero could be in good use too. Legate could support more docking bays, solving carrier issue. And that's really it - fullhouse.
Why so many ships? Because Sairs currently actively fight: OC, Core, BHG, Order, RM, RHA, VWA, IMG, SCRA, Mollies and BAF. Sorry if I forgot to mention someone, like Nomads, Wilde, GMG, mercenaries of all kind, many good companies...
Sair diplomacy really sucks, so gib moar ships! What idiot runs their show? Big Grin
Okay I have copied this for a few reasons.
What was said here is true in a way. There are not alot of Praefects around to be honest, i've only ever seen 4 tops, but I see Murmillo's and Legate's every day in Gamma or near by systems. The Praefect is a brilliant cruiser, is one of my favourites, the only things the Corsairs really need is new models, or a new bomber to be honest.
They have
Decurion Light Fighter
Gladiator Heavy Fighter
Centurion Very Heavy Fighter - Used to be a Heavy Fighter
Titan Very Heavy Fighter
That is enough for a snub line
Bomber they have Praetorion Bomber, this is slow weak, a small power core, and all in all it sucks.
They then have that gunboat, very deadly and looks amazing especially if flown by the right person. We have many people in this community that knows how to fly a gunboat and this is one of the deadliest gunboats I have faught while here.
They then have the cruiser. Praefect. I personally think this Cruiser looks amazing, is sluggish but well armoured, with the correct loadout it could be similar to the GRN Cruiser with the 4 Heavies and 6 - 8 primes I think they have, but cruisers are suppose to be for a "Support" role not to go tank a battleship or go into a snub fight with full solaris and missiles and get blues on everything. This cruiser is perfect, may need to be able to turn a little lighter and loose some weight it is a fat goose after all and probably have to much rum onboard or something, so that is all I would really change.
The Murmillo is the newest ship to the Corsair line and it is so agile and powerful I have seen this take down alot of ships solo, so many people enjoy this ship the looks how it flies and it is great fun, the Legate on another hand is a beast, it might as well be another planet, Gamma is surrounded by Asteroids or rocks or ice clouds or what ever so it is rare to see this ship outside of Gamma, if it is outside of gamma it must have taken that pilot hours to get any where.
The Legate needs/should be turned into a Carrier like stated in another post, It should have those 2 extra docking model slots so it has the 4 like a Lib Carrier and other ships. The Legate should be a Carrier and not a Dreadnought.
I have spoken with Unlucky Soul about this idea, I think it's a good idea but there is no real purpose for it. From what I know, there is no need for this, there is no Sieges that will be happening it be done by Diplo and weapons not sieging bases. So this ship is useless in a way. But it is a great model and would be amazing to have ingame I would agree with that but there is no real reason for it.
Pepe and JiDe why do you need a Siege Cruiser within Corsairs? You have a perfectly nice shipline, you have
