It doesn't look Red Hessian because it's intended to look more like it as made from a salvaged RM ship, mostly because I find the idea of such a small faction building their own battleship rather unlikely.
I am all for this. Hessians are a large enough unlawful faction to field a few caps of their own, and with the shipbuilding skills of the unioners, a collaboration to build a light to medium battleship is quite possible. (speeking of wich, bringing some of the other unlawfuls into this shipbuilding process via lore would most likely be highly appreciated, seeing as the Hessians already suck all the indies away from LWB, Unioners, and the non existent bundshu.
I just dont want to see this thing spammed though. 2-3 hessian battleships in existence are alright.... god forbid there be something along the lines of 20. Its just not possible, even if we include the hessian guard system and the shipyards therein as 'official lore.'
But, in the end... even if it does get spammed.. at least it will give the RM battleship a reason to exist in another system then hamburg.

Its a good looking model, though, in my opinion its a bit plain. In my opinion this is a great concept to work on. With a few more touches that would add Hessian ship traits on it, it would look very very nice.

I have bad news for you - we have that ability already.
Speaking of that model and non-hessian-enough, ye, slap some hammer-and-pick on it somewhere. That'd be enough for me, to be honest. Really, guys, caps don't have to look the same as snubs, and the fact that snubs have wings don't make caps to be winged. You know, Valkyre has wings too, but RM BS doesn't.
And ye, adding Unioners into shipbuilding process would be alright. I think we'll rp something when we actually get a model and the hope of it getting into it. Unless they fully sell themselves to sairs by the time it happens, of course.
