' Wrote:Actually, given that it does resemble the Kusari Train so much, I'd like to see it as a replacement for the Bumblebee. While it isn't a bad model, there's almost nothing common between it and the Ryuujin.
Isn't the Bumblebee designed to resemble the Drone Kusari Freighter? The Percheron resembles the Clydesdale, but has little in common with the Shetland (or Shire's) design. Similarly the Behemoth resembles the Humpback, but not the Rheinland Train, and the Mammoth is designed to imitate the Rhino's design, but looks nothing like the Mastodon.
But then that's a really nice transport design, and it would be an awful shame for it to become another model that looks really good but never makes it in-game. It could always add variety, with Kusari being the only house without a mid-range transport that doesn't resemble the freighter. Oddities can be interesting.

Good point. And to think, I fly a Drone too >.>
Perhaps this would serve as a Kusari 3.5k-ish transport then? It looks about the right size, maybe another ship like the Firefly/BWT/etc?
You may want to try to color the conteiners with a bit darker color.. of course if that's possible. But it looks neat as it is. Compared to the current kusari conteiner transport it's perfect.
Model never came my way. I'm with a few other folks in the thread, though, I'd like to see it textured before jumping to conclusions.
As for the engine: The exhausts of the Kusari capital ships aren't shaped very differently. Kusari Battleship has a quad of trapezoid... this one just has that trapezoid upside down.
