Simply using a model because it would be a 'shame' for it to go to waste and not be used is insane to me, just because we have something doesn't mean we should just use it. Its through standards like those that you can end up letting some amazing levels of rubbish in.
Now on topic, yes it's useable as far as I know (talk to Korolia), has been textured and even possibly hitboxed. But with that said I don't think it's any better than the other carrier models put forth by said artist. They just don't feel Freelancer I find, the texturing leaves a lot to be desired.
As an interim to a better model sure, but as a permanent fixture? Nay.
None of your work feels like its even remotely from Freelancer to me, so I guess we are at an impasse here, arent we. Different visions of how things should be will end up with simply nothing done, and just more arguing...
I really like it! Although, i can think of some suggestions.
1) I think it looks more like a battleship than a carrier.
2) For some reason i see something wrong with the back end, something about flatness.... sometimes you just gotta experiment. Maybe adding two more engines on the two existing ones and maybe adjust the position a bit?
I really think that people should stop flaming korolia.
It's evident that he has put a lot of work into this, and it dwarfs the other Carrier in terms of looks, and quality.
The little details are epic, and that ball is not unnecessary. It's awesome, and obviously korolia likes it, so do I and many other people.
Korolia, a real kudos to you. This model is amazing.
The Freeworlds team has found a way to go over the poly count.
And let's face it, everyone likes eye candy and improving Freelancer.
This model DESERVES to get in. It's up there, along with Jinx's models, it's amazing.
And the poly count: It may be high, but look at the current Carrier model which has 9914 poly's. And if too many people are concerned about performance and what-not, it's time to evolve.
The model is bent like a goddamn banana. Until this issue is fixed it will not be going ingame. I have informed Korolia of this problem and it is his duty to fix this, we are not

We are trying to make sure this mod is of a decent quality.
