While one person doing entire capline could be nice, I do not think it is neccesary. If all of them will be remade by different people and get in the game - they are still of improved quality upon original. Give a try at gunboat or cruiser if you want.
What do you guys think about this, or the general shape of it for a new cruiser. Of course I would change the textures. I made this a long time ago, but I love the design. I could tweak it a little and make it more order-y add some arches and replace the current texture with the osiris textures. Just a thought.
I actually think that was its original purpose, but it didn't really fit in with their line in the end. That's why it uses GRN navy textures currently.
Remove the "armor panels", add some spikes there and there. Osiris-like arches there and there would not hurt and furthermore you would have to replace forward gun (and entire front section) with something accomodating additional engine and spyglass scanner array. That blob on the very underside looks too much like Zoner's cap fins.
To be honest, I would've preffered flat gunboat/gunship (like it is now) so nobody would have to reskill themselves in order to fly new Hathor properly. My presonnal request is adding sort of a underside ramp to point out its potential use as a dropship/boarding vessel and potentially heavily armored "freighter" for transporting low quantities of high risk cargo. Statwise, still a (heavy) gunboat.
