	Ok I will give you that the vodoni ships the scout and butcher are
bad. Yes a wolf with a cape is kida of the beaten path but think about
how others are going to see them. You are on the main deck of your
hammership when out of the sky a flying wolf flies at you .  You first
response is not going to be to laugh and say I would not be caught dead
flying that thing.  Yes overall it may look bad and yess some ships do
look neat like the nautaloid but if you are that close to the ship to
see that kind of detail and figure out if you like it or not is either
in a friendly port or under attack and under attack is the last place
were you are going to be discussing fashion sence.
