Old Kol Model

For Nostalgia's Sake

from Sins Forums
This may sound like a stupid request, but does anyone still have the old Kol Model from Beta?  Now I am a big fan of teh new model (my head about exploded in joy when I saw it), but I think that as it is already optimized for play in sins, with appropriate hard points and statisitics, we could find an appropriate place, as possibly a "cannon fodder Battleship," cheaper and weaker than the other classes.  Or perhaps as one of these Pirate Battleships some people have been wanting to see.

Either way, I just want to know if anyone still has it, and if Ironclad wouldn't mind us tinkering with it.  Perhaps they could release it themselves even.  If they are not cool with a release of it, that is completely understandable, I just thought that it was worth asking =)

hmmmm... i was not in beta nor do i work for IC or anyone but i do think that a pirate battleship would be cool.

Ah I miss that rickety looking old thing, and given the way some of the pirate vessels look, with some minor tweaking it could be a nice addition to their fleet.

I miss the thing a little bit as well. It was the first ship I ever built in beta 2 (or maybe it was already built, I don't remember =/).

I am making this request after looking at an old Sins Screenshot, and thinking "ahh, I remember yooou!" =)

Anyone have a screenshot, for those of us who weren't in the beta?

You can just google image search sins of a solar empire and it is on the first page. It has a terran planet framed in the background, and is pointing downward on its axis.

I think this is it. (See the orange beams?) I didn't play the beta either though.

The old one looks okay if you ask me. Not as cool as the new one, but it'd work. Could make a good pirate ship hull or something, eh?

Pirate capital ships at level 5+! AWESOME!

Old Kol would make a great pirate flagship!! You just need to add a bunch of spikes all over the place (and find someone who has the old model!)

Using it as a pirate battleship is awesome and all, but I want to stress that this is about asking if anyone has the original model to release to the entire modding community as a RESOURCE for such things as said battleship. Furthermore, I feel it appropriate we have IC's permission before such a thing as their work is released to the general public.

I support a pirate battleship that actually looks like a giant interstellar pirate ship.
