they re ok - not as inspired or exciting as the current ones for sure - but they appear to be quite solid in design and appearence.
compared to other freelancer ships - they re a little bit too colourful ( or show too many insignia ) - for my taste, they re too much like planes - but then, i find it hard to beat the current ones in terms of looks. the heavy use of these stripes and insignia makes them look a little like propaganda ships rather than military warships - but maybe thats just my impression.
anyway - its the coalition that needs to be satisfied with them.
