The main problem this ship has is that its interior is just as wide as the Spirit. The cockpit is much thinner but the rest of the ship is very wide. You can't just make it thinner and call it a day because the interior just won't fit. Yes, your change to the wings might work, but the way you moved the gun and the cockpit completely deforms the living space and the main hallway. Move the ailerons closer to the wing openings more towards the tips like the Spirit has them. Make the cockpit wider towards the center of the ship and simply move the gun more towards the center equally. Don't make the ship's core thinner as you can't do that due to the interior. Finally, instead of lowering the wings, make them inclined by raising the top back of the ship a bit more. Make the flat top of the ship somewhat curved and add elongations to the white part that go past the thrusters on the back like the Spirit has them.
Thanks man! I appreciate the Kind words, I think there's a lot of good elements to their design, it just needed a little more time in the designers hands I think, I do think it looks really nice from a side profile as it is right now though, but this ship could've been such a banger, it's a shame they went with such a divisive design.
Does the interior still work, though? This is the challenging bit, IMO, and you can tell that Cig really struggled to make it work at all. Take a close look around the two cargo bays on the Intrepid. The corners are sticking out. (It is very ugly.) Cig tried to mask it, but not very successfully.
Thing that I like in it: -Asymetric design -More actuallt usable space unlike most other Crusader ships -The overall Crusader design cues. Things that I hate: -The engines are too small -It is too blocky -That wing over the wing thing is stupid and looks silly.
This is not No Man's Sky Armchair designer... THIS IS STAR CITIZEN! And your design looks nothing like Crusader. Which completely misses the point. Put in an application to HELLO Games. But leave our ships alone dude. 🙄
This ship doesn't even remotely follow Crusaders design. It's too boxy with too many sharp lines compared to other crusader ships. The cockpit being just a long rectangle makes it worse. No man sky or star citizen the remade atleast made it similar to the Ares line with C1 Spirits wings. Hon estly this ship is so ugly all it has is nice interior and it's overall color scheme being that clean white and black. Too many problems that led to am outrage of the community. If cig wants to sell garbage then that's on them.
@@icytail5302 Too me it's just a shame that they didn't knock this one out the park, it would've sold so well, I mean a crusader starter sounds like it should be one of the sickest looking ships out there, but then this design came out and it just divided everyone.
@icytail5302 The Wells Temporal Science Vessel from Star Trek Voyager looks nothing like a typical Intrepid Class, Constitution Class, Galaxy Class, or any Federation Class Starship. But it's still Starfleet. Why? Because of design queues. The Crusader Intrepid is in the same design boat. Just because the Wells Class doesn't have a saucer section doesn't mean it isn't Starfleet. And just because it doesn't look like it's a direct ascendant of the Ares Star Fighter doesn't mean The Intrepid isn't Crusader.

I like it better the way you did it yeah, without that weird empty space in the middle. The original design looks off to me, thanks for sharing!

i like the way it looks the problem is the cargo capacity, so much wasted space because of a gimmick

200 % better bud

Can’t please everyone I guess, thanks for the comment though
