That's what it is: an IPS Freighter. It's made to haul stuff real fast.
Modern-day UPS trucks aren't very exciting either.

It's supposed to look like a sleek, corporate shipping vessel.

Why? It's a corporate freighter. It travels the Space Police patrolled
shipping lanes. Besides, if every freighter had weapons, then Jonathan
Splork wouldn't have anything to do in the Lightnin' Jack. ;^)

Hmmm.. I don't think so.

So it's not a design? Huh? This was *designed* to look like a corporate
shipping vessel.

Well, it is negative, but that's ok. You aren't required to like all my
models all the time. I'm not offended. :^)
However, when making criticisms, you might first consider the intent of the
model. This thing wasn't supposed to be a souped-up bounty hunter's ship
like the Neverwhere. It's supposed to be a corporate freighter.
I suppose people have become too used to seeing radical designs from me :^)

We shall see. Basically it depends on when I get enough time and the
inclination to make a story.
Thanks for your comments.
