I can see where Doleo's coming from... In black with some highlight's that'd be the perfect AI gunboat. The curves are good, looking like a mix of tech from the cruiser and drone (I accept no-one will make it into that though, sadly).
However, it doesn't really blend with the whole 'Das Wilde" crude, evil, killing machine aesthetic as does the Scorpion. But that's down to texturing really.
"The Scorpion is an automated semi-organic drone developed by the Nomads and their thralls. A single Scorpion is a match for any human gunboat, but in groups they become much more deadly. Being specifically designed from the ground up to interface with both human and Nomad technology,"
Emphasis on the two things I highlighted in red. As for the organic bit, the curves on the back end do the job nicely for that, and with the right textures could appear perfectly squid like.
mine prototype of scorp, but I was too busy to finish paint and Harmless is a lazy ass too, so that model just lay unfinished, however I can share it for paint to someone

rear view, a bit older one, but just to show back of the previous one
Massdriver's reminds me of the Liberator from Blakes 7, though both carry that theme.
I like both.
The current Scorp makes me think more of the Shadow vessels from Babylon 5 more than it does a Freelancer nomad/human drone. I love it's looks (though certainly not it's performance) and would be sad to see it go, but would have nothing against it being replaced with something that can actually compete in a fight.
