Mh, looks like a good model. But as a battle transport? I can't see how to properly cover it with 12 turrets like the other two "battle transports" (Akegata and Shire). It also doesn't look like the freight is very protected...Seems very unfitting for what the ship is intended for, to be honest.
Alright...I'll go in detail, and don't read if you can't stand hard criticism...you were warned (because I had already someone saying "You complain too much, give me a model if you think you can do it better...I'm no modeler, man. Just know what I want and say what I think.):
This ship actually opposes all what a battletransport stands for. The freight is clearly not very protected, it seems the turrets can't be put around the ship with good firing angles, unless you intend to put them on the freight containers and it seems like it's very huge from all side due to the container placement.
A battle transport has to be way more compact, putting the freight behind some protective hulls would be good, having turrets at points with good angles is necessary. Just expected something "brick like" with the containers inside of it. Not much sticking out of the ship, Rheinland style, I'd say. Orientating at the Rheinland Battleship, mostly.
I know the Akegata has it's containers also around the ship, putting them out like they were a second shield, but at least it has a good turret placement. Also the current Akegata screams for replacement as well.
But hey, it's not "the model looks bad", it just doesn't fit what role it's supposed to have.
Do we know how much cargo space the Renzu/IND liner will have? Would be a nice addition to the Order Science Division's logistics fleet, which is rather limited at the moment, but we cant use anything over 4,300 cargo.
It also shoots you in the face with what is clearly a forward cannon.

this was submitted as a PLACEHOLDER for the liberty carrier - which is cursed for not enjoying much appreciation - and hasn t have a proper replacement. - so that placeholder was not up to a poll ( but it won t be in the first open beta - maybe added during the beta or after as a mini update )
and for those that wonder - those little things sticking out are not modelled turrets - but turret stands.
Huh? I thought the Carrier will be replaced with this?
