Really glad you still keep doing these, marauder! they almost all are huge improvements over the original art and I'm particularly glad that you decided to take on some of the 3057 artworks rather than those of the older (newer?) ones that I usually choose to ignore because of their boring and odd looks.
As for your Adobe/fan-tro problem... you might want to turn to the dark side of the force internet for this one... #P
Gaiiten i'm sure we'll see a Star Adder ship in the future, there will be a Raven too :p
And thankee Phobos :) Most of the 3057 art just ruined the ships, but now we're getting onto the ships I like the basic look of. I always liked the look of the 3057 Sov Soy, the flared cobra hood and long neck made her look more like a space ship than the others and almost manga/anime esque in her look like something from Macross;

In discussion with Plog (and Shimmering sword) we always talked about what they might look like. TRO2750's big 'problem' was that all the ships were basically long sausage tubes for the most part and were a bit generic. And whilst we agreed that for the most part many of the 3057 art was just...not good, with classes being so radically altered to be complete and utter rebuilds rather than just cosmetic changes (Texas, McKenna, Congress, Vincent for example) we did opt to keep some of the looks in some cases (making the vincent squat and broad for example, in a faint nod to the ref's whistle design of the 3057 art, and a nod to her OBSCENE cargo capacity which would not fit in a short but thin vessel unless you had the walk ways be literal crawl spaces).
I do plan (when I have some more money) on finishing off the rest (if Plog's still taking commissions) and of those there's only two that REALLY need work. The Volga, which is just a rancid design (why, WHY is it a Bussard ramjet!?) And the Fredassa which is a mess. But the remainder, the Essex, Lola 3, Aegis, Whirlwind and Cameron, like the Sov Soy, I like the basic design and look but they need to be brought up to modern art standards. The only one I won't have done is the York. Yes the original art for it makes it look like a book end or door wedge (HOLD THE DOOR!) but its still basically a Riga II
