Here's the plan:
1) Give trident (GB) to BW civilian tech cell (replace current BW GB placeholder) (POSSIBLY it could be done to storta...Maybe, as an unlawful-generic BW cruiser).
2) Create a design for cap line.
3) Create GB, Cruiser, BS, Dread/Carrier (to replace the current models) according to the new design (to accomplish massdriver's snubline).
4) Profit.
That's why I'd suggest making drawings / drafts / sketches anything that can be made fast and to give an idea on the design and won't consume much time..
the storta's status as the "best looking cruiser" is one I'd argue as not really even meshing all to well with the elongated, sleek and semi-boxy nature of the Ranseur or Sarissa- with its reputation further sullied by literally being the worst balanced and most worthless cruiser in the mod.
Stylistically all the current ships fit, save that which is mentioned above, but basically all the models need touchups.
The Sarissa is far too long and needs the "holes" in its center hull closed
The Storta needs hardpoint model changes for some under-hull gun mounts, as well as some stretching to make it less pancake-y
The Ranseur needs general model improvements overall, as the current one is supposedly terribad once you start working with it- but style-wise, the hideous engine needs fixing ( the "lid" on the back needs to be completely taken off, replaced with a better rear-section more reminiscient of the Sarissa or Storta's drive chasis) aside from that, the style of the Ranseur is pretty spot-on, although I'd argue the center "spire" of it's prow needs to be converted into a FWG given its current appearance.
Nothing agajnst Barb or his model but its far more styilistically reminicent of a Kusari vessel than a Maltese one. Its not a bad model but Myself and most everyone I've spoken to on the subject don't really believe it fits.
As I said before, a custom SRP ship, sure. The baseline model for everyone else to base off? Pls no.

To everyone else: guys as I said I wont force it in to the mod. I will keep working on them but there is no point in putting it in if you dont like it. Yes I will try to make a Ranseur and Storta but even if Im done with them, I wont force it in.
