That's pretty small, which means there's not much need for detail. That's good
I'm not a pony fan, to be honest I find all ponies a bit creepy (the live and the animated ones alike), but I do like to help out with projects that operate on 'outside the box' concepts. Your project is clearly one of those and you guys need help badly (the train thing)
I'm handy with graphics so I think I might help you with that part of your mod. I made a quick concept ship, with simple model and textures, that I think has just the right mixture of sane old school sci-fi'ness and mlp 'touch'. Would this look like a capital ship of the Solar Empire?

This... Is just a "quick concept?" O_O SOMEONE HIRE THIS EPIC PERSON NOW WITH ALL THE MONIES WE GOT.
That is stunningly good. And, for not being into MLP, I actually think that really represents Celestia rather well. It looks very heavenly in design, which accurately reflects her position as, well, pretty much a god. (Kind of sad they call her a "Princess" when she's the matriarch, though.
)
Quick idea: Anyone up for throwing in a sort of "secret weapon" ship with the rest of the mod? I really would love to see something like this done for Chrysalis or Discord. >:3
(For those non-bronies: Chrysalis is queen of the changelings. Think shapeshifting-Xenomorph if it were squee.
Some Chrysalis Fan-ArtDiscord is an evil trickster spirit, the embodiment of chaos. Think the personality of Loki, or Q. Actually, they got Q to voice him...
Some Discord Fan-Art)
