But beauty is in the eye of the beholder,
“I’m just happy to be here. I hope I can help the team.”

Bitter Vet:
…for the cigar chomping hardcase. A Hogan’s Hero, Dirty Dozen, Inglourius Basterd pilot, who’s Been There, Done That, and Is Back For More vet.
This design Bitter Vet follows the design principle of “relic-ing” in guitars, and “break downs” in costume design.
This ship has been in battle. To make sure of the kill, the pilot rammed the corpse (small fluid stain’s above the “Harpy” decal on the wings),
there was “ram” damage, paint’s been peeled off (all over), the hull’s been scored by debris impact,
(and, visible in the 3-D Paragon Hub display)
…part of the electrical system is still not working (“eye’s” on bridge of “nose”…one side works, the other side “tries”), and the engines, which had to be replaced, well, logi didn’t have enough “spec” parts, and had to make do with what was at hand (variation of engine detail between Shiny and Bitter Vet.)
Many “bitter vets” have ships we’ve retired. They remind us of memories, great escapes, bitter battles…friends.
The Bitter Vet design can be applied to many hulls.
