I am absolutely for this ship to be in the mod but the RP around it will represent the Coalition to be able to push more ships than some Houses, which is awkward.
Right now it's an RP of 'necessity', the Coalition is feeling the heat from the Corsairs and are trying to find new ways of punching through the enemy lines, the BC is the brainchild of such thinking and a slight bit of panic. Don't forget CR has it's own Snub Line, Transports, Gunboat, Cruiser and Carrier not to mention according to the 'Needed Ships' section "- Crayter Republic Battleship [New]".
And they have been getting their rears handed to them by Gallia, are deprived of alot of infrastructure aside from Sabah and acouple other minor things yet they are able to create such things.
The Coalition has it's territory, it has access to resources, the facilities to utilize them and a reason to use them (The Houses close to them, Corsairs on their doorstep and Reapers regaining strength tends to trouble even the hardiest of Coalitioners). I am not expecting it to be 'OMG I WANT IT IN NAO!', that's beyond silly talk. Besides the Devs have their hands full already finishing the update and wouldn't have time to add an extra ship while still meeting their deadlines. This is a ship planned for after said update.
As for the textures, they are the same ones used on the Carrier (As Alvin lost the ones used on the rest of the line awhile ago) and the wings are a staple of the ship, they make the ship what it is from the intro as they were iconic. To remove/change them would make it a different ship entirely. :S
