hold up. so you decide to remove a post which had something to do with the person who i replied to, the whole topic about mercs and mandalorians getting a ship (which included no flame at all, but an idea to deal with mercs flying anything and everything), just because i didnt have anything to say about eppy's model specificially? what, if i just called it ****, it has direct reference to the model, so you wouldnt remove my post?
if thats so, since im such a major spammer and love throwing out 1 liners in dev threads...
Eppy, your model is in dire need of work, and i think you should redo the entire thing, and the only reason im being so direct is because i HAVE to be, even though ive given you all the needed comments in an earlier reply.

now that that is dealt with, i will repeat what was removed. The cylon raider is from BSG, the mercs could do with a generic ship, that will take care of mercs using any ship they want while the mandalorians get a mand-only ship, the merc ID could thus then use an update preventing them from using any and every ship they like, and to add to that, this model could be made as the generic VHF, if you change a few things. the sabre like extensions on the bottom are way too thin, thicken them out like the sabre's are. the model is still, way too flat. if you want to make it very flat, widen it a bit. this way, it will be hard to hit head on, but from top/bottom is more vulnerable (like how the bayonet, upholder, broadsword are). also, apologies, ive not been on skype when you needed me eppy, i was mindlessly drunk at the time, try tonight or tomorrow, ill definitely be home.

This was mentioned before, but that cockpit doesn't really fit, if it had the Sabre's cockpit it would look heaps better I think...but thats only my opinion.
Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid. - David Hackworth (1930 - 2005)
I think it is akwardly shaped and the cockpit is weird. That and it looks a tad too flat for a VHF. A suggestion though, try making the nose triangular or thiner at the end. It might make it look a litle more aerodynamic ( not that that matters much , we are in space , but I think it would look cooler)
My only suggestion would be to thin make the tip of the nose horizontally narrower. Right now it looks like a giant popsicle stick, where as the Border World design ship has a sharp, pointy nose.
Other than that, I have to question the purpose of this ship. We already have a Border World LF, HF and VHF, and a Bomber. I know it's a Mandalorian ship and all, but what's wrong with the ships that already exist?
And to my understanding, the Mandalorians need a Gunboat. In fact, Mercenaries as a whole need a Gunboat since the Bounty Hunters Guild decided to be stingy with their ships. I think with a size adjustment, this ship could easily become a non-outcast Gunboat that would fill a nice role, one which is needed. A generic Gunboat with no ties that is actually combat capable.

Scale it up to be similar to the Tridente, I heard Dieter complaining, and I agree. MM lack a Gunboat.
I don't want to be a Debbie Downer, since this is a great model and all, but aren't making ships only for the Mandelorians detrimental to the greater Disco audience?
I also don't like to make shiplines for everyone and their mother, so I might as a question: can we just make it like a Borderworlds Interceptor (Since it is that shape) or something so that the Mandelorians can use it anyway, but, it still is open to the Borderworlds market instead of particularly the Mandelorians? I'd say the same thing with anyone trying to expand the FA shipline. That is, make it Samura so it's open to the entire Samura market instead of specifically the FA, but the FA can still use it.
It's just that we have a lot of silly shiplines, lets face it, and I don't really agree with Mercenaries getting their own particular ships...
