Gunships are supposed to be hind/light corvette class ships that range in size from excessivly heavy fighters to small frigates. This implies the use of a small bridge or even a 2/3 seater cockpit configuration, which this seems to throw completely out the window in exchange for a single-seater cockpit. Honestly, while I do like the model and believe it may have a place somewhere else, I'm gonna have to go ahead and say keep our current one.

This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.

Agreed.
I find the design very cool , but i don't get this want from most people to have a "big sabre" like it was mentioned above. Plus for some reason it reminds me of the Tridente. I don't know how would the size be in the game, but it also gives me the impression that its a bit big kinda ruinning the gunship thing.
But then again this is from my point of view, i can be totally wrong.
I vote no, because I'd rather see current Outcast Gunship model to fill position of Montante as fitting whole BW line (not to mention Freelancers rather have tight pockets so it would make sense) with appraisement of completely new Outcast model fitting Outcast snubline.
Additional no for yet another reason: it looks like too much like Hellfire Legion-style ship - even without texture applied on it.
Additional note: I'd see small replacement for BWT's "cockpit" with something more akin to the small bridge, as we are speaking about BW-line.
