that is the impression i want this ship to make. the class 7 shield wont render the hydra outdated, but the slightly reduced cargo bay wont kill the hegemon. this is supposed to be a "money making" vessel that can still fight, but by no means to i want to outclass and / or replace any existing ships
and by "replace the hydra" i meant for the IMG, not the hydra alltogeather (which will be owned by the colonial remnant in 4.86 accordint to what I've heard)
also, I made the design of the ship's "body", but my co- modeler , aka Geeky, designed the "claw" part as well as some minor changes and polygon reduction, so thanks for the complement!:)
