SOOO happy to see this guy back! I'll be back tonight to look at it in more detail...
Edit: So I got a little time before tonight - here are some initial thoughts:
I can easily tell you spent tons of time enlarging and adding features and playability. I'm really digging the improved cargo capacity and two bay areas - very functiona. The expanded cockpit for full standability (is that a word?) is a very nice addition as well. One of the best additions to this version, though, is the work you put into the two rear side engines - I like the shape they give the ship from the rear, and their increased size and better shaping are a significant improvement. I also like how you kept the left and right sides of the ship different from each other... the proportions (or should I say "disproportions") of the ship are still just sick!
A few things I'm wary about:
First, the old ship wasn't quite so busy outside with antennas and colors - While the old one still had a lot going on, it wasn't to the point of distracting from the ship's proportions and structure. Unfortunately, I think this one is a bit distracting. I think it's the light grey and bley - I know you were excited to be able to use those colors on this addition, but I just really liked how the black, white and tan came out on the old one

.
I'm also kinda sad to see the little port go that you had on top of the original. The sensor array you added is cool, but I just liked that port - it kept the top looking functional but still clean looking.
Overall man, this is a nice second version, and I'm thrilled you took the time to do it. I lot of people just leave abandon the old version and never make the improvements. Keep it coming bro.
