Heavy Rheinland Military VHF v1.0 - 31 July

making the powercore a-bit shorter wouldn't hurt because it still bulges out like a big tumour.

The powercore is actually the same size as Wraith. In fact, Wraith's pcore extrudes out farther back because of the gear hardpoints and also has a larger "tumor-ish" proportion to its main body.

Red: Wraith - Cyan: Valkyrie Mk. II

Scaling the pcore down would give this thing a smaller side profile than Wraith, which wouldn't make much sense (and scaling the whole thing up to compensate for a smaller pcore will push the front and top profiles into bomber territory), and I personally don't really think the pcore is too big. It sure is big (as intended), but not too big imho.

Additionally, one possible reason the pcore might be dragging too much attention away from the main hull is because the ship isn't textured yet. Once the textures are done, most of the details will be around the cockpit and the main body, which would indirectly balance out the visual porportions.
