It's been a while since I've been spotted on Discovery, but...
Nice ship. Very nice ship.
In my opinion, it almost looks more like a LF than a SHF, but that's not the important part. It's a ship fit for the junkers.
If you don't mind, could I tinker with the texture files some? I have some experience with texturing but I can't read .mat files, so they'd have to be in either .dds format or a generic image format. (I'm assuming you aren't set on working alone.)
Edit: Yeah, I was probably assuming too much if I thought you'd let random people mess with your work. Feel free to disregard the above stuff.
