So will they update the t1 frigate hulls too, to reflect these new SB hulls?

Will we see new sexy Kestrel too alonside with new Manticore?

They're only changing the T2 hull

I'd like to think that the fact that they made new S.B models indicates they might be willing to update more models.

Space. It seems to go on and on forever. But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at you.

Yeah thats something that I'm hoping they will look into too. Make all the t2 versions look less like a paintjob, more like a genuinely pimped and upgraded t1. That would definitely be a good thing for eve, the whole 'red paint job = t2' thing was fine in the old graphics engine, but it feels very dated now.

Especially when it comes to any sort of Stealth/Recon ship. They need to look sleeker and stealthier than their T1 counterpart, for sure. And I guess (Heavy) Assault Ships should look a lot beefier; they do get quite an increase in mass.

I'm a bit gutted actually cos I really liked the way my Purifier looked. Now it looks kinda boring. I'm all for making things look prettier but to actually completely redesign the look of a ship??

T1's will remain the same as ever hull wise ofcourse not without updating the graphics to make the skin look more shiny and reflective as real metal features and smoothing out edges on em. the hull changes were only supposed to be for t2 ships in order to make them a unique look that wouldnt make the avarage or high end person go like,my stealthbomber looks like a normal frig ccp why?

i like that they changed it, it was quite awhile ago that people were asking the question to if t2 ships would gain some unique looks rather then looking like the normal ones.

At the fanfest they said that redesigning existing shipmodels was an ongoing, but low priority process for the art department, explaining that artists would work on some some sketches when then have nothing more urgent to do.

They changed the models to fit the new launchers. Thats it. They wouldnt fit on the old ones.

The way things are going... id say new drake Twisted
