Looks good.  Although I think you need to work with the mesh just a little bit more.  As it is, it looks a little too Klingon-BOP-ish.

Thank ye, Racal. we've enjoyed the R-22 in the past couple of mods, but we've had a few requests to make it more romulan. I figured after how the Benevolant turned out, I'd give it a try.

That's cool! Looks like a bird of prey swooping in for the kill.

reusing the canon warbird head has gotta go...that's built for a 1200m ship, and on a bop with all those windows just looks silly.

Seems to me a slight retexture would do the trick for the head.
The pen is truly mightier than the sword.  And considerably easier to write with.

I suppose that'd depend on how detailed the head is. Even retexured it'd still look like  a D class head which detracts from the overall look of the ship, atleast to me anyways.

Why not see what it would look like with a BoP head and neck ?

or you could edit the head.  I think it would look better if you removed some of the beak.

This is a bash off of the R-22 by Racal. That is a bit of a bash of a BOP, with just a slight difference in the head and neck. Everyone loves the ship because of the firepower we put on it, but hate it's look (sry Racal). I can't tell you how many people have asked me to make it more romulan, which I did.

That's OK, but the R-22 isn't actually Romulan (or Klingon) in the first place, which would kind of explain why she doesn't fit well in your Romulan fleet.

I know, we sniped her from the Covenant fleet, hehe. We've had it flying romulan for the past 3 servers, and people have really loved it. We figured she looked a bit reman, which is why we threw her in the Rom fleets.

How about doing a Reman retexture, then?

Yeah I wouldn't mind seeing it in reman colors either. Excellent suggestion.

what about a raptor head? Prob is the 2 models are significantly different in poly count and texture quality but perhaps if someone were to build it from scratch something like this could be done.

I was thinking along those lines too.  You could probably edit the existing head to look something like that.
