Big fan of your designs ( what happened to those kick-ass klinks and roms you had?) but in this case I'd have to say nay.
The Nethak"s current texture makes it look advanced and sleek. I find these textures detract from that look at present. Just my opinion though ( and you know the old saying about opinions).
I'll probably D/l the final version anyway to see it in-game so go for it.
