I love the art of this ship, to me it is one of the only ships that really looks like a battleship; this ship has that "If we run out of ammo we can RAM them look" Pirate

I fly a raven and all those wings look delicate.

2-1 its warped off because your darts flight time is too long and you foolishly used your range bonus to engage outside point range. Big smile

Raptor literally means bird of prey. It is not an "almost bird" (not to mention birds are dinosaurs).

Birds are direct descendants of dinosaurs. The only living ones, besides crocodiles, which are far more loosely related.

You might also be interested in knowing that nearly every case of fossilized skin imprints of dinosaurs found showed signs of feathers.

T-Rex probably looked more like this.
