i am not aware of any sw ( if that means star wars anyway ) destroyer looking like the zoner whale. - maybe you can provide an image that looks like it?
Honestly i hope the current zoner whale stays. And i think you guys confuse the gmg whale kijura (or how Its called) As it is associated with the jabba the hut ship. From star wars. But it looks good honestly

While the GMG Whale is a direct import, the Zoner Whale is a fresh model for Disco which looks too much like a SW ship, to be an original design - Which if you ask me, makes it a worse model than the imported Kujira.
The SW ship I was referring to in my last post turned out to be a frigate, not a destroyer, but doesn't make any difference in the models looking awfully similar, which just means the modeler was running out of ideas when designing the ship and had to borrow a few bits from here and there (Which's not a really rare occurrence when it comes to JinxShips™, but this time, borrowed a bit too much it seems).
the star frigate was the old juggernaut and the zoner cap line is modelled based on that. those similarities are INTENDED - had there been doubts about the basis of the design, people years ago should have spoken up. the design is established as of now.
with that in mind - the similarities are little enough to consider it disco custom ever since 4.84 .. from that pov the case is closed.
Just to affirm - there is enough of a difference to not cause copyright issues, which is the main reason we're axing all the imports. So the Zoner Whale does not fall under the "axe all the imports" directive (which is more for legal issue prevention thus, then for improving model quality).

There's going to be a CTE and Borderworld one open to them (as well as a ton of other groups). I've not heared of any Unioner gunboat designs, planned or otherwise.

Greetings
I'm interested in ship modelling and came to know about ship submission just a while ago.
I have made a model in GMAX, which is attached, also im working on some other sips like an Antonov An-225 (which will be considerd to be a cargo hauling ship) with some changes in the design to reflect both Disco requirements and the superb gracefullnes of the real AN-225, besides this im also working on USS-Enterprise(From Star Trek). Please guide me when can I submit.
Also - i can only make a model and send it to the concern developers, the rest of the settings and programming can be done by them.
Need your further guidance.
... I don't think an Antonov or Galaxy-class starship are going to fit in the Discovery setting. But aside from that, you're welcome to post some screenshots of your work in a seperate topic. Model submissions are closed for now while the dev team focuses on finalizing the initial 4.87 release, but I won't stop anyone from working on models for another time.

Err... 225 is superb, yes, but why in Disco?
Ah, seems that I've misunderstood you.
We tend to keep up Freelancer's style, so the models look less or more organic.
We have imported ships like Firefly, some Star wars ships, which we are going to replace with original models.
What's the stance on remakes that are re-modelled from previous Chris Roberts games such as Wing Commander Series and Privateer Series? Just to clarify they would be original models (with a basis from the games mentioned) and designed to fit in Civilian/Faction Neutral settings. If anything they would suit Freelancers and Privateer's
