Name a Ship Contest *Updated with another ship*
I made these two ships with 3D Max. They're both pretty low poly (around 2000), but I have no idea how I would get them to FL. I may look into that later.
One thing however, is I don't know what to name these. They're both Kusari ships, and should go along with their theme. Any suggestions Would be great!
To maybe help you out, here some stuff I've come up to describe these fighters.
The one on the left is a Medium/Light Fighter. It has better maneuverability that a normal Medium fighter, but it has heavy guns, although only four of them. It's also quite fast. It does however, suffer from somewhat of a shortage in power when firing the guns in rapid succession. On top of that, the shields are that of a light fighter, and thus not very strong. The armor is also lacking. The "Dragon Wings" are also a weakpoint. They are relitivily easy to shoot off, and they contribuite to the maneuverability of the fighter. If they are shot off, the maneuverability is noticiably decreased, but it does not necessarily take it out of the fight.
The one on the right is an interceptor/Light Fighter. It's the fastest ship in the fleet, and perhaps in Sirius. It is also one of the smallest, and agile. It only supports three guns, but with one being a heavy weapon mount akin to the other fighter. The other mounts are for light guns. It has an internal cruise disrupter launcher in the nose, and it's sensor package is state of the art to track down its target. Shields and armor are very weak, and thus are not able to effectivly enage large targeets. It suffers the same weakpoint as the previous ship, but with its uncanny speed, it can still avoid enemy fire. This ship makes an excellent recon fighter, as it can move in, take in its sensor data, and leave with out anything able to catch up to it.

You can be down to trailing flames and debris with no guns, no wings, no anything practically and the ship still performs normally. 
Sorry to be a killjoy..lol
