its simpler again - but meant to look heavier. - i reduced the number of windows on that one, too considerably - it should now be within reasonable terms - ... and i have moved the hardpoints back to the original places ( 8 on the sides of the containers - 2 on the top of the nose, 2 on the bottom of the nose ).
one might say "the joint between the containers and the main section is very thin" - but its not really. - its heavier than the trains links - and the whole frameworks looks quite solid, really.
i have NOT skinned it with the ornamental bretonian red / white that time, cause i just cannot get the hang on that. - it looks horrible. - so its only a dark grey - which is duller but makes it look more serious and also heavier armoured.
one of the greatest changes is the placement of the engine. - formerly it had one large engine in the rear - and two smaller ones in the front. ( CDing only one of them would mean to disrupt it ) - now the engine is placed in the center / middle of the ship - and it thrusts "through" the gap of the containers. - that means that it cannot really be stopped by a wasp or a smaller CD anymore unless hit from the side. - a train CD / reinforced CD can still catch it of course. - its thruster is immune to blast damage now ( cause its so much inside the model ) - unless its hit by a capital ship-to-ship missile ... or a nova of course.
the whole design should look like its a heavy transport, well protected. it hasn t got many "fancies" about it - no sophisticated ornaments, nothing to "show off".
