Destrier

[jammi]

The concept was to be a combat variant of the Clydesdale. In effect, more armour, more power, less cargo. Basically, it'd be a Bretonian SHF. The shape isn't quite right yet, but Uns is working on it: third ever model and all that jazz, y'know?

The main variation between this and the Clyde, is the Destrier will have a second 'rill plate' further forward on the hull. A rill plate is the secondary hull that's raised from the main hull - on the Clyde, it's at the rear of the ship. On the Destrier, there's a second plate that sits slightly more snug to the hull that protrudes from underneath the first one.

In effect, this gives it a much more heavily armoured appearance, given that the hull, then second and first rill plate gives it a ridged appearance, similar to the Dunkirk's back. The texture will probably be altered too, to have a grey/black overlay.

That's the basic shape up in the first post, and Uns is working on refining the model to pick out some more of the details that make the Clyde such an iconic freighter.
