Many people are sad about what is going to happen with Nyxes and Pythos. Want to hear how IMG ships will look like? Flying bricks.
However, you'll be able to get permission from Jansen, however, that use will be very limited. I think. Because if everyone will get permissions, IMG won't use their own ships.
I'm pretty sure the new IMG bomber will find some use here and there. If all hardpoints are filled it'll be a bloody beast... And the Argus, while not that much of a looker has potential as well.
But yea, Colonial shipline will be the Colonial say-so. And I suspect they'll try to use the Nyx/Pytho popularity to expand their own ranks a little bit.
Or at the very least Hook will:D

IMG bomber will be a beast with 2 torp slots and CD slot and two truret/guns combo, charon will become LF mk2, nyx will be replaced by new VHF with similar stats....over all new models may look bulky, work horses of a miner, but they are not large fighters...
IMG BC returns to its roots from times it was SW import, featuring wings, 6 engines and similar profile....
GB is still tiny from the front, but its also shorter then current GB.
Miner and small transport share same base design who reminds of firefly, but simpler...those are weird ships and i know they wont be liked by many people...its acquired taste.
They are civilian brown in color with green details....
IMO they are still more then capable to fly on par with Sabre
