Civilian Cruiser

[Trogdor]

...
I think it could be done, and I think it could be good, as long as some thought was put into its implementation. Rather than digging one's heels in and saying 'nope', could we maybe talk about how we could make this work?
Its firepower, core, armor, size, equipment, rules.. everything is undefined at this point.

That discussion is unsuitable for a Ship Submission thread, since the concept extends beyond any one particular model. Regardless, the stats and final utilisation of said model may ultimately rest outside of the modeller's control.

I think it is suitable, because if there's no niche for the model to fill, there's no point to continue working on it, is there?

The trend lately has been to replace 'oddball' ships with models that resemble other ships in their faction's line. This thing doesn't resemble anything any house or faction is fielding (with the possible exception of the Hessians, but they already have two cruisers) as it was meant to be a civtech ship. And so unless we can find a home for the model, why should the modeler continue with it?
