Bulldog Replacement

[Dusty Lens]

Looks good I'd fl... Wait dammit.

I like the wings in the back... Given the strong aeronautical inspiration present in Gallia I'm somewhat reminded of some of my favorite birds, namely the WWII bombers of old and the modern A-10.

So much so that it led me to my next thought.

In Gallia the design tendency is to remove fuselage molded engines in favor of pods. I would suggest thinking of following this design tendency and adopting something similar. If you removed the signature Junker "engine" which you currently have in use and go with something a bit more, say, A-10 ish you'll remove a large part of the look associated with Sirius Junkers.

Furthermore the Bulldog model has two engines, so that would ease some of the hassle in changing model hardpoints.

To that end I would also suggest reinforcing the bulk of the rear foils, making the side attitude controllers more robust in addition to the struts supporting them.

Next, the cockpit is either going to be far too large or the ship far too small for the current setup of torp + CD + guns. In fact at the moment it looks like it's barely coming up larger than a Liberator. Given that a resize might/will be required down the road for purposes of balance I would suggest thinking of changing up the cockpit to something which will not, following addition of transparency effects, leave the pilot looking as naked as that one will. You don't want to end up with a Firefly type cockpit with a huge cavern with some sad sot sitting in it like a lost legoman.

Furthermore, altering the cockpit will further remove from the instant impression that it is a "Junker" ship. Given that the vessel is supposed to have a measure of utility I would almost suggest a unique cockpit design located squarely in the front of the ship. Something allowing for a far greater field of vision 180* around the pilot.

Again, as I fail with art and at describing things, another creativity sundering image which communicates my thoughts. Plus one more.
