Civilian Explorer

[Tic]

Few days ago I set off to make a civilian gunboat in my spare time(no offense to who ever made the other one, but I somehow didn't like the idea of flying an overfed eagle) but with time my idea evolved into something different. I came up with this, a ship that is supposed to take on a role of a deep space explorer, operating anywhere in Sirius with ease. It is designed for utility more than anything else(heavy armor, radar, additional cargo bay, docking bay for small miners/fighters/bombers/small freighters etc.). I tried to design it as an all purpose RP platform. My idea of it is to be a heavy version of Kusari Explorer, but available to all houses(thus the generic civilian liner textures).

Final model finished.

My suggested stats:

Hull: 185 000
Bots/bats: 550/550
Turrets: 11x gunboat(following arcs: 8 forward, 7 backwards, 7 to sides, 7 up, 8 down)
Shield: Gunboat shield.
CM: 2x
Cargo Hold: 850
Agility: Between cruisers and heavy gunboats.
Powerplant: Heavy GB powerplant
Thruster max speed: 145

My ideas on the stats:

Hull: 195 000
Bots/bats: 550/550
Turrets: 1x gunboat(following arcs: 8 forward, 8 backwards, 7 to sides, 7 up, 8 down)
Shield: Gunboat shield.
CM: 2x
Cargo Hold: 1050
Agility: Between cruisers and heavy gunboats.
Size: 2-2.5x of Corsair GB/Kusari Explorer
Powerplant: Heavy GB powerplant
Thruster max speed: 140

Here are some screenshots of the model which is now pretty much finished, just lacking some details.

My idea of size for the old model:

New would be a bit bigger, same width/height but greater length.

Any feedback would be appreciated.
