Well Military ships will not change *nearly* as appreciably as the Griffin did. indeed most ships wont.

Infact Id say its easily the single most radical change by far.

With the others I'm looking at a possible range. The change can be more or less obvious based on majority opinion. :)

As for the MK II's being exact copies of the MK I's... thats exactly why I am doing this.

New ships in a line are all well and good, but why are we making new ships when we don't even have specific models for each class already in the line?

There is no way you can advance a ship as much as the MK II's are advanced over the MK I's without effecting visible external change to the spaceframe.

Lets take a Wrath for example (compared to its MK I the Valkyrie) it mounts higher weapons classes, produces almost 3 times as much power, mounts a shield 2 classes up and has 20 extra units of cargo space to boot despite all these doubtless larger bulkier systems.. Its recharge and hull armor are twice as high (sauce for the goose).

There is no physical way to effect that radical a systems change without leaving visual evidence. No way in the physical universe, even in sci fi.

In the Griffin's case it is an extreme visual change, in the Wrath's case it will be much less so, no more than a slightly different cant to the wings, bigger engines with sleeker farings, thicker armor in some spots, and a larger power plant.

Some of these visual differences might be small, but I think they will, together, add alot to the mod.

Also, Thexare nailed it.

The only thing worse and more evil than an import is a copy cat
At least an import has a unique look which is more than the copies can say. :P
