excellent designs indeed - inspiring. - about the loadouts. - hard to say - but i d try to keep the loadout they got now - so 3 guns 2 turrets.
hitboxing might be a bit troublesome aswell as figuring out a good size for them. - when they re as large as the current "homeworld" ships - they d have quite a huge glass canopy ( which isn t really such a problem, but the pilot might look a bit lost in there - especially when you re not modelling "interior" stuff - which vanilla fighters usually don t have )
if the cockpit is as small as it might suggest - the ships are quite tiny ( patriot size sort of and not very much larger )
but those are just minor problems after all. - the ships appear to "build" up on one another well - a real line of ships..... well.. time to slap a skin over them, i guess.
