Hi, few questions about modding Ufo:AI
Crystan:
Looks scary, good start. Funny accident: The bottom right cornor perspective totally looks like this thing: :D
Kahvipannu84:
Oh, it sure does look like that, hehe :D Is that from Princes Mononoke? Haven't watched that movie in long time, I should watch it again, if I remember right, it was pretty damn amazing. ;D

So if you can give anykind of more detailed things (shape, etc..) I'm more than happy to work with there.

My first thought would be to check out designs for next-gen drones and small science fiction space-vessels, things like that. Might give you some inspiration. There's no vision for the combat flier at this point so you're pretty free. Just keep in mind it would be a 1x1 unit (1 grid) so it has to be pretty small.

Model is about 1300 triangles, same size as human skeleton in-game. You had limitation of 1000 triangles for body, and 300 for head in you contribute section. Is this hardcoded limit, or just limitation to keep models in good size?

Limitations are just ideal targets. Looks like a good start. If it were me, I might make the body a little smaller and the hanging bits longer, since they'll give you an opportunity to do some nice animation.
You might also think about some kind of last-defense weapon. Perhaps it can spit out gas or an inky substance like squid when backed into a corner?

Ok, I'll see what I can come up with. :)

Ok, I will do that. Tought I have zero experience in animation, all I can currently provide is the model, uv-map, and textures, which you can improve upon, I hope that's some help.

Got it, I'll implement somekind of defence mechanism to the model.
