Just a thought. Maybe... give this model to smaller variant — call it, say, "Jackdaw", and make Raven somehow more massive ?
BTW, what exactly Raven concept is ?
As i see it, any Forsaken fighter (save light interceptors) must have some scavenger slant, i.e. large (for its class) hold and at least 1 ready Special mount (for tractor scoop), thus being able to double as a fast (Hit'n'Pick'n'Run) counterpart of Hyena, because
1) they're Forsaken and always keep one eye on any resources other than asteroid ore and ice, and
2) presumably it's called Raven for some reason.
Also, Special mounts are good for autocanons. Add rocket pods, but no missile pylons. Because non-guided kinetic weapons (being low-tech) are rather cheap but provide good salvo power which makes superiority fighter class.

then i see in 3d to do list the concept for raven need to be improve???For the Raven... it looks a little too good as is Smile
I'm imagining the Forsaken trying to copy the Duelist design, but finding out that some of their necessary parts to do so are too big in various places, causing the hull to have to be adjusted in less aesthetically elegant ways to accommodate them.
But... if this is too much work to do to redo it as two different models, then let me know and I'll just have it just be one or the other.
but maybe i misanderstood the JackS post

What jackS is saying (important parts in quote are highlighted in bold) is that the Forsake not having that advanced technology cannot make such a beautiful ship.Fendorin wrote:then i see in 3d to do list the concept for raven need to be improve???For the Raven... it looks a little too good as is Smile

but maybe i misunderstood the JackS post
Means:
* keep the general shape
* make it more bulky (to hold bigger ship components than the Duelist)
* maybe make some larger bumps go out of the smooth hull shell
If this is too much work for you, please say so and jackS will reconsider if this ship is Raven or Duelist.
