How about a REAL Crusader?

How about a REAL Crusader?

I see people talking about importing ships from Star Wars, Privateer (one of my favorites), Babylon 5, and other universes... how about Starlancer?

I'm playing the SP game and just got to New London. The guide I've been using says that I can get a Crusader here (actually, at the battleship next door) but warns that it's pretty ugly. Well, I remember the Crusader from the first few missions of Starlancer - and while it's basically a brick with stubby wings and a tail, it has its own charm. It'll be a fun ride, I think, worth giving up my faithful Patriot for.

Then I went to the ship dealer and I see... a fish . Excuse me?

(Okay, so the SL Crusader design would be almost 900 years old by now, but anything's better than a fish. And as long as Chris Roberts is shamelessly recycling his old material, why not a slightly-modified Crusader, ala the Rapier upgrade from I - II or the Excalibur from III - IV, or the endless iterations of the Dralthi?)

Please, won't someone make my time in Bretonia more bearable by allowing me to fly a proper warhorse, not... a fish?

The ship designs weren't Roberts' doing. He left, then the boys at DA proceeded to butcher his dream.
