Love the music and the cockpit with it's wrap around monitor is very near that of how Gundam and YF-19 from M+.

Great fandom, but it's STILL an uglier brick than the Beta.

Than the Sage among his Books,
For all the Empires and Kingdoms,
The Armies and Works that you hold Dear,
Are to him but the Playthings of the Moment,
To be turned over with the Flick of a Finger,
And the Turning of a Page"

Yea, but it doesn't need to be overly aerodynamic to get its job done. The idea is to pack as much firepower into as tiny a frame as possible and that often means making compromises....

I don't know about the asthetics (as they are subjective). The Beta still looks like an uglier brick than the Condor IMHO, the only thing aesthetically the Beta has going for it is its wings.

BASED on the 2E RPG loadout of the ntb variant, it only appears to be packing near-Alpha-like firepower, nothing approaching the Beta's level (bomb bay, 5x BFGs, 6x External Hardpoints, 56 SRMs, x6MRM ((last from AotSC))). And the Condor was at one point a competitor/rival to the Beta (without the aerodynamic compromising need to connect to an Alpha).

Really though IMHO the Condor should have been relegated to being an the equivalent of the Armored Battloid system found on the VF-1 for the Alpha Fighter.
