[Model Request] Core Heavy Battleship - MEGALODON | Paying in Credits, Sci-Data, Soul

[Vendetta]

So I've got a few things that I wanted to bring up that I thought about while being unable to sleep.

Of the five major Omicron-based factions (Core, Order, Outcasts, Corsairs, Nomads) The two with Dreadnoughts are the Hispanic ones. The Nomads lost the tanky Marduk when the model was changed to a more nimble, weird medium thing with tentacles. I'm all for factions getting something they put work towards. Genuine, quality effort with no serious roadblocks is a nice thing. So what I'd like to know is: Does the Core have any roleplay backing the design of this ship?

Second, even with the darkened textures, the ship still just doesn't look like it belongs to The Core. In comparison to the other ships of the AP capital line such as the Thresher, Bullhead and Mako, the silhouette isn't the same. It does't look like it's from the same manufacturer at all barring the materials and the paint job. In fact the top front portion - the bridge of the nose of the ship to be specific, looks a little derivative of the Thebes that got smashed together with an elongated Bullhead for a face. It lacks the sleek style that the Core shipline has, and the engines just seem... Odd. Not odd in a bad way, but an interesting design given the Mako's propulsion system. You would think a manufacturer would make use of a similar design, but it's okayish. The whole thing in general needs more black.

Thirdly, the unfortunate thing about adding a ship like this is it puts other factions at a disadvantage in the area in terms of PvP. As I said above, I'm all for factions getting nice things, even if it's at the unfortunate expense of other groups, but SOLELY if they put in a good amount of effort and invested in its production. Not just paying the person to model the ship, but doing the R&D work, the field work, the development work, the prototype and test work, the logistical grunt work - all of it.

With the above said, I hope to see something come from this so i can steal one for aux fly one as an indie.
