The NC MAX looks terrible in my eyes and I hope the other empire specific stuff won't be anything like that.
The Liberator doesn't look that good either I think. The pilot's cockpit and the plane's nose look odd (also too small and thin in comparison to the rest) and especially the bottom of the plane is weird. It's also too high in my opinion.
So far I prefer the style of PS1's vehicles and aircrafts.

It's not that the NC has lower tech. It's that they don't have big factories cranking advanced stuff out. They make due with what they can build using modular manufacturing equipment that can be packed up and moved around, guerilla-style. They also place a premium on field maintenance, since they don't have the static supply lines to just ship in a new unit when something breaks.
