I realized I haven't been on/active in a while. Sorry, life got more busy, mostly in a good way. So we should probably get another mod so that if I drop off, the community isn't abandoned. Good news is y'all have been very well behaved, I haven't really had to do anything. Everyone pretty much gets the concept of 'stick,' and there have been a ton of good posts! But all the same, it'd probably be beneficial to have someone modding if I go missing. Just leave a comment if you're interested. Thanks!

The whole composition is so uncaring and oppressive, its great. I really like the lack of atmospheric dispersion and really shape shadows. Original link and full resolution here: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/ba3dg

I really love the huge sense of scale this ship gives, a bit megalophobia inspiring. Especially when compared to the absolutely massive guild heighliner.

It was reportedly more stealthy than the f22, but was not as maneuverable.
