As model lead, I've done a tally of all ships that still need replacing for 4.86. I've thus far found the following models to require replacement:
Civilian line
hw_p2_fr - dsy_kadesh_fr - Civilian Freighter (CTE FR-2303-K): 2 guns, 6 turrets, Mine/CM/CD
hw_p2_lf - dsy_kadesh_lf - Civilian Shuttle (CTE-337-K): 4 guns, Mine/CM/CD or T
These two models are homeworld imports, which should be replaced. If at all possible, have the new models follow the CTE line and general feel (Eagle, Roc, Falcon etc are ships of this line). The light fighter should be very small.
Renzu line
hw_k_bomber - dsy_kushan_vhf - Renzu VHF: 3 guns, 2 turrets, Mine/CM/CD or T
hw_k_fr - dsy_kushan_fr - Renzu Freighter: 3 guns, 5 turrets, Mine/CM/CD
hw_k_hf - dsy_kushan_hf - Renzu Heavy Fighter: 5 guns, 1 turret, Mine/CM/CD or T
These three models are part of the Renzu line, all homeworld imports. They should follow the same theme, but since there's no existing Renzu ships to my knowledge, theme is up to the one taking up this banner.
Mining ships
hw_s_lf - dsy_somtaaw_lf - Basalt (Mining) LF: 4 guns, 1 turret, Mine/CM/CD or T
hw_s_hf - dsy_somtaaw_hf - Dacite (Mining) VHF: 6 guns, 1 turret, Mine/CM/CD or T
hw_s_fr - dsy_somtaaw_fr - Mafic (Mining) SHF: 2 guns, 5 turrets, Mine/CM/CD or T
These are the various mining fighters, that are used quite often. All are homeworld imports and should be replaced. They should have a utilitarian look, but short of that the design is up to whoever starts to make them. They should more or less follow the same theme.
Junker ships
<strike>hw_p1_fr - dsy_raider_fr - Combat Service Freighter (CSF): 3 guns, 6 turrets, Mine/CM/CD</strike>
hw_p1_lf - dsy_raider_lf - Gitano junker light fighter: 4 guns, 1 turret, Mine/CM/CD
These are homeworld imports as well - although they do not look as out of place as some of the other models. They should still be replaced with proper junker models.
I'm looking for modelers who want to design models for these ship entries. I require nothing more then the textured model - but if modelers want to handle the hardpoints and/or hitbox themselves, that is fine as well. The model should be prepared for the gun and equipment listing as posted with the model, and if possible, retain more or less the same size as it has now (for balance reasons). Aside from that, use common sense and creativity.
Anyone willing to make a group of models, just reply here. I will edit the lead post from time to time to show who's working on what, or to add additional models in need of replacement.
