Wasupu?
I think that would work.
Actually, I think that would work quite well.

A GC revision may need to be more archaic and elegant, not neccessarily using curves (since the Chimera is elegant and sophisticated without them).

Quote:The vanguard of the Renzu Corporations space efforts, the Wasupu was based upon an aged spaceframe once employed by the GMG. Having purchased the rights to the vessel a long process of modernization was launched, addressing a number of issues that had caused the vessel to be outmoded. With a slight reduction in agility in favor of a heavier plant when compared to the Eagle, the Wasupu is a staple ship in Kusari space with sales indicating its growing favor with escort pilots seeking an alternative to the standard fare.

Infocard might need a tweak, but it's a possibility.

Technically the Wasapu isn't a HW ship.

I meant the, say

But the old Stinger could use a bit of love if it was coming down the pipe.

Edit: Actually, yeah, that ship would make an extremely lovely upgrade to the Stinger/Wasapu.

Give it a texture similar to the Orchid. I don't like the Blossom myself, it'd be a worthy replacement, as far as I'm concerned.

Actually, I like this. Would be a bit better with a top fin though. I've always thought the current GC VHF isn't very fitting with our faction.. Looks like a dragon head more than anything, and the GC's symbol isn't a dragon, that's the BD's. I also wouldn't say this looks 'high tech' either. Smooth lines and curves isn't 'high tech', just visually appealing. Some of the most high tech ships aren't exactly the most beautiful. The Sabre is vaunted as one of the most high tech ships in Sirius, but is blocky, not smooth and curved.

I think this would fit just fine for the GC. Though as I said, it'd be nice to see it with a top fin.

As a Blossom flier, I approve.

I won't comment on how it looks, that's been done enough and should be logical for any model comming from Jinx.

What i will comment on is:
1. the main engine.
Will it have two engine effects placed there or how have you imagined it? Entirely new engine effect to fit into the shape of this main engine?

2. the size
You said it's a two seater.
Hm. What i match with two seaters isn't exactly a small ship.
Would there be the possibility for you to show us a size comparison with the current Blossom please?

3. the lower fins
Those two fins stick out of the wing.
How would it look like if they don't?
And how would it look like if the wings in general are thinner (safe for the four engines)?
Possible for you to show us how that looks like without hours of working?

In a brilliant tactical movement, i charged backwards.

the above was the concept i made before the one i posted - its closer to the current one - but i thought it was a little too much carried away - and hardly believable that any freelancer faction would come up with something like that, especially not a pirate faction.

4 reactor chambers, racecar like exhausts and about as squishy as a nomad vessel - .... but still, its "flowing" like the current one - and offering a huge hole in the center where shots would pass through ( provided the hitbox was made that way ) - but then.... it really is a little too much carried away.

Hmm, one thing I like about that second model Jinx is that the solar cells work a lot better, rather than looking like hardened surfaces.

The concept of a "fan" is one which I feel fits the GC very well. As opposed to hard panels.

I can't speak as to the reactor, it feels similar to your gunship but, in truth, I don't know Kusari design ethos that well in terms of where it's been evolving.

The cockpit feels a little closer to something the GMG would craft as opposed to something that might have been lifted from Dragon design philosophy. Which is where I thought the GC picked up their architecture?

Where are the engines? On the outside?

That being said I can't help but feel that the second model strikes a little closer to the heart.

But that's an outsider's perspective.

No!!! I love the Blossom (:ylove:). Am I really the only one!?

Why are we remodeling ships like the Blossom (:ylove:), when atrocities like the Garanchou are begging for a replacement?
