Right, to cover all bases;

Eppy you most eloquently make the point already stated, and thanks for the feedback, but ultimately its up to the voters.

I personally see it as removing needless repetition. Sure discovery is about retaining the Vanilla spirit, and it would be sacrilege to replace the vanilla ships themselves, but these aren't the vanilla ships.
They are new vessels designed in the same lineage based on more powerful technology, and I hope that I am doing the Vanilla atmosphere justice while conveying that sense of upgrade visually.

I also think that the MK-II way of solving the stats problem wasn't the best option. But thats just me.
Id agree that someone with more time who isn't buried in a project should go campaign for the re-balancing of the MK-I's so as to render this debate moot.

Stretched textures; that happens due to shape changes and I'm still working on those.
What you see right now are alphas, so the bits that need cleaning up or remapping... they will get cleaned up and remapped before submission. :) Rest assured.
(though if you'd like to specifically point out the ones most in need (even the specific spots on specific models) I will double check them with *extra* care as I do my second and third passes)

The Templar (Like all other house MK-II's) happens if and only if the vote comes out right.
But have no fear, its on my list.

The decurions done? okie doke. thats one thing off my list. On to the Hyena.

Long rocky road? good. I need a hobby and this is it. Its all very very fun for me so have no fear I intend to see it through.

One way one of you can help me a GREAT deal would be to compile a list of all the MK-II's names with its MK-I's name beside it.
That way I have a checklist and nothing falls through the cracks.

Hmm, oh yes lastly the Chimera was designed to look both more sleek and more evil. (its the cockpit changes that do it truth be told they're the counterpoint to the whole craft's shape ;) )

Ah, one more last thing; if there are player made SHF or Bomber Rheinland models in need of a replacement then the original Wraith prototype is available for that use, but I'm not getting into designing anything new-new until this project is done. Gotta keep a clean clear cut schedule and all that.

EDIT; Jammi has it right. no way in heck the fighters look the *exact* same after 17 years of reaserch
