Crooked Mount Points?

from GalCiv2 Forums
Is it me or do the mount points seem crooked on some ships. I tried making a custom ship and the first thing I noticed was that the left and right sides weren't balanced - one side was higher than the other. I thought maybe I was simply attaching to the wrong mount point, but I decided to look at the core ships and the first ship I looked at, the Scout, has crooked wings! I noticed this in the betas and also update 1.1, not sure if it was like this in previous versions, this is the first time I really noticed. I know this is really minor and I live this game, but for some reason this little anoyance is driving me batty!

I attached closeup images of 2 core ships - the Scout and the Constructor; the lopsided wings are really noticeable

I think it's a design decision rather than anything else

Not a design decision, just a flaw. The art crew has said they hope to correct them when they are able.

I've noticed this a bunch. Especially noticable on Terran style ships.

When I create mount points for my ships in 3dsmax, I place my dummies on one side of the ship, then mirror them all for the other half to keep symmetry. I guess the modeler at Stardock might take a different approach.
