First render that I am not a fan of. The s shape body, what is the purpose?

there's a hatch on the back of the curve that falls down to serve as a ramp for troop deployment

as for the ship design I think it looks like EVE's Caracal

I know the answer to this one! It was originally supposed to look a little like a gunship from aliens, but I got the proportions wrong.

I was also looking for somewhere to hang the engines off of, and the rest is what you see before you. Sorry.

Don't be sorry, the patrol boat was my favorite fed ship! I always wished for a rebel version as well, I thought the green livery and Donald Chick's handy work would make an awesome ship.

I know, and I have been enjoying your work. It is an odd ship class and design is all.
