I'm quite surprised that several people are making this comment, as 
the style of the new ESU ships was (to me at least, while I was 
designing them) a direct progression from the style of the original 
ESU 209/210/211 series, all of which had the wedge-shaped front 
section set slightly below the main hull boom..... The only one of 
the new ESU that has a MAJOR level change at the front (to the same 
sort of degree as the Japanese) is the CVH, and in this case it is 
deliberately done to get the nose section well out of the flight line 
of the launch bays. The original ESU fleet was quite a mix of widely 
differing styles (eg: the 207!), so I decided to go along with the 
general theme of those that we had defined as the "newest" in the FB1 
blurb.
