Re: Skunk
I wouldn't like the XR replica - it would be better as what was intended in concept art (3 decks interior, bigger size) and in X3:AP (turrets).

Re: Skunk
Yeah, the ship is a bit off. I'm getting into XRebirth right now since it runs on my computer after the recent patch. Some parts are pretty fun and visually it can be stunning.
The skunk sort of reminds me of the drop ship from AlienS. That is the sequel to Alien but they decided to not put 2 on it causing an entire generation to think it was the original film as kids.
Anyway, the big thing that the skunk is missing (besides more interior to explore) is travel mode. I'll play XRebirth for a bit and then start to think to myself, "This is nice and all but wouldn't it be stellar if we had X4 mechanics in this game." You don't know how much you love travel mode until you're forced to fly without it.
It would be funny if in X4 the player rocked up to a station that happened to be next to an anomaly. On the station there would be a shady used car salesman type character named "Hey Show me the money" Otani. He happened to have some junker getting patched up that he swears is a top of the line ship that we should totally pay full price for but we can talk him down. We offer to pay for the ship with Bunkatsu, but after the first installment we won't ever have to pay for the rest. Koitsu can just be okoru about it.
Actually, maybe we could get several different versions of the ship matching the different cockpit options.
And I totally agree about getting a version with TURRETS.
If the Devs really want to make the player work for this, they could introduce a version of Triple Triad into the game and force the player to beat Otani at cards to win the ship. So then Lando Otani will have to give us the ship for free.
Once onboard we find a "Sound Proof" helmet and a video of the previous owner of the ship putting tape on someone's mouth. So random and weird. The previous owner really was a hennashito.

Rebirth imposes no penalties for mods (at least Rebirth VR doesn't) and this is one of useful ones. Others are "call crew in space", "ship bridges", "navpath fix", "initiate smalltalk", "no highway music", "show me your silence please".
