It's okay bobbtmann, I was asking for community input. I am genuinely interested in everyone's opinion. However, to bobbtmann's point, this is going to be my take on the Gunboat. I like StarSlayer's design a lot, but I'm not going to copy it. I'll leave that up to him. Keep in mind that with a project like this, it is impossible to please everyone and that isn't my aim anyways. So why ask for input? Two reasons really, the first is that you guys have a lot of good ideas I haven't thought of and I think the design will be better if I at least consider them. And secondly I think it is fun to involve the community in my design process. It's fun for me to participate in everyone else's design work too. The models I've shown up to this point were to generate discussion and to help me visualize what the final design will be. The cockpit is still a work in progress, but I have decided to slope it, maybe not as aggressively as my first approach but it will be noticeable. I'm keeping the cross section of the body the same, but I am going to shorten the neck. As for wing size/configuration, I don't know yet. Let me work out the engine configuration first and I'll take another look at it.
