Firefly replacement. Done on 27.10.2013

[FallenKnight]

Built in Bretonia, the Firefly is one of the favourite ships for freelancing traders in Sirius. In addition to generous cargo hold, this vessel is well-defended against pirates and has impressive maneuverability for ship of its size. Although Firefly is usually used for legal trade, presence of hidden caches inside the ship hull make her perfect for carrying contraband goods.

I had a lot of ideas about this ship, just because from lore its been build in Bretonia. Well it should look like something small, with "generous cargo hold" but not pods. "well-defended against pirates" which means a lot of guns like the current firefly (8 - 4 fore/4aft) and with "impressive maneuverability" which means is should look like a hybrid between small cargo ship and very very old and early model of warship.
I was looking for ideas on the net of possible replacement and found one ship model from a movie which possible you wont know: "Velocity Trap".

Here is an Imageof how the ship looks like from sides and front view. The image was made by me, taking SS from the trailer of the movie, later modified per stages (cuz the ship was moving).
This ship have very well revealed "head", "neck", and "body" similar to other bretonian ships. It looks like the "scales" were removed from it (representation of the ship being very very old bretonian design).

Jinx said its hard to see how the ship should be created as model considering this image.(He is ship builder and I respect his opinions about these matters) but still this one is I belive a good start. Maybe it can be taken under consideration.
