Lose the Lion and the really far too diselpunk flak guns and it's pretty nice.

Still the same issue with all the other designs so far- I just don't get the sense that the designer has any interest in era-appropriate real-world warships.

 There's some justification in that this is supposedly a later era than the "Altered Victorian Period" of Classic DW, so the design preferences and so forth will diverge further, but yes, I have to say if you're talking about the general ambeince, the ships are moving toward a more Dieselpunk appearance.

 Not that this goes so far from the original that I won't be tempted to field one :) And that aesthetic will work for CoA ships ( Or at least seems to with the artwork so far released. )
