' Wrote:It looks more like a dock worker to me. I really cant see this ship moving cargo between systems. It seems like it would be to frail and have not nearly enough engine power. Like it wouldnt be able to maneuver fast enough to avoid pirates and wouldnt have enough armor to weather their attacks.
It also looks fairly out of place compared to other ships in the mod. Other than the tail it really doesnt look like anything else in game. I mean it is great and creative on it's own, I just dont think it fits in with FL.
Awesome model! But I agree it doesn't quite fit. My first thought was that it needed to be beefed up... particularly the "grippers".
Just as we reap the golden wheat, must we also cut free of the chains! [eS]
I like it, but, it seems too small for carrying a cargo pod that big. Maybe, you could change it to look more like a Sky crane helicopter. with bigger twin engines on top, leaving that style of tail.

I support this idea. I think if the grippers were fattened up and the cockpit was moved forward and made larger (extruded down in front of whatever its carrying like the Sky Crane) you'd have an undeniable WIN.

sure i have - feedback was appreciated and there s no need to keep an image of a ship up that won t be submitted in the current form. - its been up for around a week.
it seems the repair ship - single container tug doesn t really work for FL - so i think of another freighter that is closer to the "maggot" like kadesh freighter... since that shape appears to be quite popular.
Hah.. Sky-crane was the name of the Heli i meant early.
Maybe i sounded too bad, the model WAS nice!
Ah, and why you want to replace the one-pod-style?
I thought thats what makes your ship different to the others!
Or maybe i missed the point... ?

Change the Kadesh freighter. Stretch it out long enough to accommodate a single cargo container within the main body, re-texture it and add the top engines and tail. What it needs the most is a FL-styled cockpit and engines.
