It looks simply amazing.

Especially the Vindi.

I nursed a semi when I logged in to see the Vindi sitting on the station dock.

Good job CCP. Good job. *clap

It's sexy as hell. That right there should be a model for all the other ships, none of this space camo, more sleak and awesome paint jobs

I lied :o

I like the new model - the skins are somewhat hard to distinguish though and especially the new vindicators skin looks a little dull.

looks the same to me... I can't tell a difference. Maybe a side by side shot of the old and new?

That awkward moment at the Gentlemen's Club when you see your sister on the stage....and you're not sure where to put the money....

New Kronos bridge looks pretty nice Cool Now all they need to do is make the ship worth flying.

The old Mega looked like a muscle car. The new one looks... Sleek...

That picture of the new mega is misleading. They've flattened the hell out of top-side armor-plating. The side profile of reminds me of a coercer now.

Hardpoint 7 is still too small to properly hold a turret. Hardpoint 8 still has no visible mounting. Hardpoints 5 & 6 are so big that large turrets look a little small on them.

All of the smooth, flowing curves have been replaced with straight lines with rounded corners. The smooth slopes where the two prongs joined into the main body of the ship have been replaced with hard-edged walls.

They took away everything I loved about the old mega and left all of my pet peeves in place. I do like the new tail section, the extra engines are better than the old mini-wings... And the new textures are nice.... But so much of the new model really seems to have missed the point of what was so damn sexy about the old mega.

The old space-porsche is gone. It's more of a space-BMW now...
