Personally, I'd think a fighter would look a little too 'insignificant' for an admin ship, maybe some sort of gunship, large freighter sized, no bigger than a vanilla dromedary so you can still berth dock, with a central built in gun suggestive of the uber damage admin cannon it's known to pack... see that big muzzle pointing your way and tremble, sort of thing. If you want to go with something already made, a tv/movie based mesh, alternativly, you could go with hmmm, how about the Ebon Hawk (mancer did a reasonably nice one) or a resize of porche's Sith Infiltrator (is it my memory or is there another sith infiltrator mesh thats slightly nicer than porche's?), thats a nice looking mesh, resize it up a bit, remat with a slightly better texture, would look damm good, and kind of sinister.

OK, logged in twice now under two different browsers, cos Opera crashes if I try editing posts or adding attachments...
Heres a screen grab of the S.I from HardCMP, as I don't have a save game near where I could buy one...
This is Porche's darkjedi cloned so it wont conflict with the original, resized to about lg freighter size, so the ball is large enough between engines and lower extremity for the door you see maul come out of in EP1.
Rehardpointed so as NOT to be a Titan clone.
Gimme a few mins and I'll see if I can get you an ingame screenie, ok
EDIT:
Ok, just modded the Ageira-Detroit shipyard to sell the thing, grabbed one and went for a spin, couple of screenshot crops, didnt have a nohud mod handy, I set this one up with 6 turrets, gunship style as it happens, 3 torp/cd mounts under the nose, 2 cm mounts under the armoured cowls just in front of the ball, set to launch down and out in a v spread, shield gens are mounted on the back of the cockpit weall so theres something besides a blank wall to look at when you peer into the cockpit past the pilot mesh...
send me an email addy and I'll bundle the files up in a zip and send it to you, you can find your own small-med sized turret meshes? I know you can mod enough to edit the script to replace the custom engines etc that you wont have in your mod...
clear the browser cache, that will solve your problem
Personally I find admin ships a little pointless, but the Scimitar is definitely an imposing ship, so that seems fitting.
Ah the M7 class Hyperion... HMm, an impressive ship, yes, specially with its twin fighter bays, would work as a Super Admin ship perhaps, couple of 'pad' docking hps to eliminate the need for internal bays, good fun for admin to launch a couple of server cop fighters... lol.
Can't remember if I have any tools to pull the mesh from X3 or not, besides, people would complain if I did, no?
what you carrying there, Swat? an M4 Busted space inferiority fighter and... ? Split m3? M3+? My eyesight isnt what it was. :grin:
Edit:
Actually, I remember now, somebody has already pulled some of the X3 ships, whole bunch of fighters if I remember right, Busters, Novas, Pericles n Perseus, Mambas, even those ugly green Boron things.
Erm... Tekagi's Treasure, thats who's got em... Over a dozen X3 fighters.
From my opinion an admin ship needs to be small, fast and versatile. To get everywhere, anytime to survey most active areas without being noticed. Bigger attracts attention which for an admin ingame, isn't the first task to achieve/complete. 
The 'Sith Infiltrator''s actual name is Scimitar.
...On one side I like the TIE Defender, but I also like flying capital ships.
Easy, compromise, fly a custom TIE brand small capship, some brand new of the slipways TIE Frigate..., say small transport size, VHF fast, TIE styling, capship firepower...
QuoteYes, I have the same Sith model.
Since you said you were thinking of 'gunshipping' it, want me to send you the cloned, resised and re hardpointed version thats already gunshipping ready or would you rather do your own.
TIE stands for Twin Ion Engine.
Any frigate with only two engines is doing it horribly, horribly wrong.

Depends on how BIG the engines are...
And lets not be Pedantic, TIE 'stood' for 'twin ion engine' when there was only one 'tie' model, sitting in the ILM studio on its wire stand after they made Starwars.
There are now so many 'TIE' varients with assorted sizes and number of engines etc thats its become a generic brand name for whatever SW 'Fluff' company makes the damm things.

You probably mean number of engine exhausts, which is dynamic. I think Bob talks about the engine type which is Twin Ion.
Lets keep the subject on ok?
no the ragnarok is not exclusive to SWAT Projects
All the more reason not to use it as the admin special, been done I'm sure, by some mod somewhere...
Sounds like "Make a new shiny toy" time, what better excuse to pull out the stops and make a really cool ship model...
so, what shall it be, Bear?
What I was planning as the Admin Ship of Continuum is a flying Ice-Cream Truck.
And no, I'm not kidding.
