I finally had this ship drop for me with seven minutes left of the last iron banner event. I was utterly disappointed that it still looks broken to me. I was one of the fortunate few to obtain the ship during the beta version of the game, on my very first Iron Banner match! I KNOW what it LOOKED like. It looked like the picture above.The Birth of History of today is a scroungy, broken down looking version of it's Beta ancestor.
I remember how quickly the Aurora Lance (a rare bounty or treasure chest blueprint) was fixed after someone noticed that it was the exact same model as the Valkyrie-O5X (obtained through the collectors and digital editions of the game, so part of what people paid extra for), within the first few weeks of release I believe.
I can't be the only person who has noticed, or cared to point out that the Birth of History ship model looks like an unfinished product. I've created this topic as a related topic to a comment of someone else who believes this matter should be addressed.
Here's a poll. How does the community feel about the Birth of History!?

Every faction ship released with the Dark Below expansion and the Iron Banner ship appear to all be suffering from missing texture issues. All the faction ships appear to be missing textures on their bottom hulls, and Birth of History is missing its middle section. These are all pretty noticeable coming out of warp to a celestial body or when landing in the tower. The beginning cut scene to the mars exclusion zone mission is another spot they can be easily pointed out. I really want to believe bungie's gonna fix these, but with the small number of people who actually have these ships and the even smaller number voicing complaints I feel the whole thing is gonna get brushed aside for more pressing issues with newer content. I hope I'm proven wrong though.
