Doubt we'll get an alternate skin option for the S31 Intel Dread, but I'm hoping.

I know the odds are about as good as me getting one, but I'd love to have the option of having the Huo Yi-class as a skin instead of the Shiva-class. It's weird that just adding another pair of nacelles completely changes the "feel" of the design (at least in my opinion) from "Miranda, but pointy" so something that looks much more sleek and aggressive.

That or we get the Hou Yi as a proper carrier, ideally Eng and not sci, but I have my doubts about that too, especially with SNW starting soon.

For the record, this is the Huo Yi. It just adds an upper pair of nacelles, but I think that makes all the difference.

    While it is a bit different, we already have a Section 31 ship with four nacelles.

    I'm not saying options aren't a good thing though. I love options. Space Barbie is the True Endgame after all. But it is a bit too similar to the Command Heavy Battlecruiser at first glance.

    To be fair, there's already a Section 31 ship with two nacelles as well (though the rest of it is VERY different). I just like the Huo Yi a lot better, and feel like the Shiva is, as I said, a pointy Miranda. In my opinion, even with the Nimrod-class (the battlecruiser) already having four nacelles, the Huo Yi has a more distinct visual identity than the Shiva-class.

    I prefer the Huo Yi-class too, the rollbar-wing mounting of the nacelles on the main hull instead of the rear hull makes a world of difference style-wise.
