I like it, but in the interest of total honesty, it looks less like an actual CR fighter and more like NO mixing parts from a Nyx, a Switchblade, and a Bayonet. It's very different in the overall structure from existing CR snubs, especially visible in the wings and fuselage.
The pointy fins on the underside don't really mesh with the blunted wings either. Solid concept, some adjustments needed and kinda feels like the wrong faction though.
I like the look. I was thinking , Colonial Viper meets Bayonette, they have a child and here it is .
Does Crayter need a HF isa good question. In RP and Lore terms i would say they do, they are a major military organization, it makes sense from that point.
For pew purposes not so much, i doubt it will do something that Nyx cant.
Lets see what the community says.
Overall i would like to see it in game, even though is not a necessity.
A bit too smooth to be a CR ship to my taste. CR ships are slightly bulky, not extremely elegant, more akinto lines of old BW line (sabre etc) and IMG line, this one looks like a new BW line and current CR line mixed.
About what @Thexare and @TheShooter36 said, I think taking inspiration from other shiplines makes sense. Sabre is a very good piece of hardware, many enemies of CR fly one, so why not taking some parts of the design and adapt it to CR standards.
Also, yes, CR ships are usually more raw in the looks, but just as the F-15 IRL is the precursor of the F-22, going for a more streamlined and smooth look, while keeping the design and materials close to the originial, is pretty realistic IMO.
