krait ship kit suggestions

First let me say FD that I'm ready to throw some money your way just as soon as you get some Krait ship kits on the store... :)

Please please pretty please let one of the kit options be a nice little radar dish mounted on the top...
 
I'd love some ship kits for Krait too.

First thing I want is a "nose cone" to make the front of the Krait appropriately pointy like a spearhead, just like the actual Krait, instead of this passive, rounded edge Adder nonsense.

Also, I want a Krait-only SLF shaped just like the original Krait. This way we'd have a Krait with a baby-Krait.

Something like this amazeballs thing.

Optionally I really hope they add the Mk1 Krait some day. I really wanted it to be a small-sized ship for use with piracy, like a Krait should be used you know.

I love ship kits and always buy them but the Krait is so sort of perfect the way it is.
If anything, I think the side antennas should be removed from the base model and be part of a ship kit.
And have other different options as well in that position.

But then it isn't Krait.

The trademark of a Krait is those pointy stingers on each side. If anything they should be longer and thicker (that's what she said!?) on the current model. You can see on the original Krait the stingers almost reach the front tip of the ship.

It's supposed to be an aggressive little bee :)
 
Krait MkII 16-piece ship kit - my predictions

Tail
Option 1 - MASSIVE engine covers
Option 2 - Smaller engine corvers
Option 3 - Bottom-only engine cover
Option 4 - Wings on your engines

Spoiler
Option 1 - Little spoiler
Option 2 - Big spoiler with a little spoiler
Option 3 - Big spoiler with lots of fins
Option 4 - No spoiler. All the fins

Wings
Option 1 - Little rounded wing tips on the outside of the antennae spikes
Option 2 - TIE-fighter-esque vertical wing ends
Option 3 - Silly little winglets all over the edges of the ship
Option 4 - An understated and almost unnoticeable cover for some exposed part

Bumper
Option 1 - Nose cone
Option 2 - Visibility-reducing coverings for the bridge
Option 3 - Bigger nose cone
Option 4 - Dual nose cones at the end of the front forks
 
Forget ship kits... give us some better paint jobs. Chromed, Golden, even Pulse (on that flat surface it might look good), until the Black Friday sale color.

I'd like a ship kit that comprises one huge lump which covers the entire top surface of the ship and makes it pretty-much the same shape as the underside.

Course, that's never going to happen cos we all know it's unpossible to display decals on ship-kit parts.
 
I was pumped for the Keelback ship kit, but ultimately disappointed by it, because of the lack of customization in it. It says 12 pieces which is technically true, but those pieces are often multiple parts that I wish I could swap around. For example, for the cockpit you can either have antennas at the top and pods at the bottom or pods at the bottom and antennas at the top. I had wanted to create an explorer focused ship and what would have looked great for that would have been to have antennas at the top AND bottom. And my combat KB I wanted pods on the top AND bottom. But nope, can't do that. My ship designs felt like compromises as a result.

My only hope for the Krait is more options, so it better be at least a 16 piece kit like some other ships (IIRC)

More importantly, I'd like them to revamp the whole ship kit system to allow for more customization like I described. They don't need to add MORE parts, just allow for more customizing with the parts we already have.
 
Any Krait kit that comes without extra front-facing antenna (like the DBX, Type 6, and Keelback kits), that go on between the existing antenna and the cockpit, will be incomplete.
