Remastered Asgard Snubline

[aerelm]

So, a little history snippet: Back in the olden days Hessian shipline was rather different to what it is now. There was no Hessian Battleship, the cruisers were using Star Wars import models and we don't talk about the old gunboat, but the old snubline (by AngelofMercy) had a lot of charm and personality to it and a lot of people were quite fond of its design.

When Hessian BS was introduced and the cruisers got remodeled to ditch the old imports, for the sake of consistency the snubline also got reworked to fit with the new aesthetics of the rest of the line, and since then, a lot of old-timers have been wanting the old snubs back, but due to technical quality of the old models being rather subpar to the more recent expectations, simply copy/pasting the 4.85 files over to the current build would've been a no-go, and so here we are.

These are Not intended as replacements for the existing Hessian snubs.

The current Hessian snubline will be staying as-is, and these remastered ships will instead be added to the "Rheinland Unlawful" line (same techcell as Hel, probably).

Since the old line had quite an iconic look, this remake won't deviate too much from the original design, so it's mostly focused on cleaning up the under-the-hood technical aspect of the mesh and just redoing the bulbous bits that don't really fit well with sharp angles of the silhouette. Textures will be redone completely, but the general arrangement/colorscheme will likely still be kept similar to the original.

P.S: I've picked these up as more of a side-project, which means they wont be the main priority and while the plan is to remaster the full Asgard line (old Loki, Odin and Thor) it won't be done in one go, and will mostly get worked on whenever there's a gap between other ongoing projects.
