nice work on this stuff so far, I like what you're doing with the MK2 ships
heh...looks like the Dagger has gained some weight
looks nice, but I suggest keeping the telescopic nose piece, it's sorta iconic to the BW line in the original freelancer

Very much like this design, aggressive, yet keeps that Civilian feel. It feels like an attack fighter!

Allright, here is another comparison;
![[Image: noses.png]](http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/ss293/freelancergeek/Scimitar/noses.png)
So, fared version or modified telescopic?
The nose knows as the saying goes.
I personally prefer fared but I am making this ship for you guys not for me (the Griffin was my present to me)
Besides, I like how the modified telescoping turned out. Its an identifiable and iconic feature but still retains a 'MK-II' style I think...
Also, from now on can everyone please label your critique as to which ship you are referring to?
I'm a bit slow and it helps me keep tabs :$
And a big thanks to everyone who has given input. The process is easier and *far* more enjoyable for me when you provide suggestions and feedback as to how I'm doing.

Why change the vanilla models? The models that were made by professionals modelers and texturers?
Seriously though, if the Mrk II models are replaced then the Mrk I ones had better be buffed to end game levels, that was the entire point of Mrk II models.
AND IF YOU ******* TOUCH THE WRAITH MODEL I WILL EAT YOU ALIVE

Interesting idea, though it would be easier to critique with multiple, maybe textured, views.
Id show you my Liberator concept art... but I'm busy compiling comparisons on my new Chimera, Guardian, Wrath, and Hussar. (Yep, I have alpha-prototypes for all 4)

I'm buying five.
This would be neat. I'd like to see a revamped Patriot or Stiletto. Especially the civvy ships.

' Wrote:There is no way you can advance a ship as much as the MK II's are advanced over the MK I's without effecting visible external change to the spaceframe.
Lets take a Wrath for example (compared to its MK I the Valkyrie) it mounts higher weapons classes, produces almost 3 times as much power, mounts a shield 2 classes up and has 20 extra units of cargo space to boot despite all these doubtless larger bulkier systems.. Its recharge and hull armor are twice as high (sauce for the goose).
There is no physical way to effect that radical a systems change without leaving visual evidence. No way in the physical universe, even in sci fi.
Actually, from a pure RP point of view, the vanilla ship balancing is the thing that makes no bloody sense.
Why would Liberty, the ritchest of all of the houses, make a ship that is basicaly tissue paper next to the Eagle, a civilian ship? Why would all of the houses make guns that they can't even mount on their own ships?
I say simply re-balance all of the vanilla ships so they will be equal to their Mrk II companions if anything.
