Yay for Algos! It really is quite nice!

But leave the Dominix alone! It's a very old, versatile ship design and deserves to look the part :)

anyone. It doesnt matter if it becomes a perfect cube without textures that has blasters coming from it, it will still look better.


If we're making requests, can I lump the Caracal in there just because just knowing it exists in it's current form makes me weep periodically throughout the day...

The Caracal is actually one of the better looking Caldari ships. Hey, it's symmetrical, and sleek like a cheetah or preying mantis.

The Algos is attractive. Here's hoping it is also worth flying. But don't anyone dare touch the beautiful space potato. I actually liked it more when it was brown. Is there something Freudian with that? P

BTW it looks like they nerfed Baby ChuChu SadP

A dying, bulimic cheetah maybe, but certainly not a beautiful one lol. To each their own though.

And no one nerfs The Baby. When The Baby has grown to strong, she nerfs herself to preserve the balance of the universe.Cool

Noooo, I love the ugly duckling look of the Moa.

Mind you, they could certainly work it over a bit, but keep it slanted and weird.

If they ever change it completely... Cry

Its one of the iconic ships of eve. Yes, it's the ugly one, but that is quite fitting, as spaceships wouldn't be built for beauty contests.

All that, and you neglected to mention the Rupture, which is by far the worst looking ship in the game. ..next to the old Tempest and Stabber; but definitely much worse than either of those.

caracal i agree is nice, it was one of my favourite looking caldari ships back in the day, in the idea of how it looks. However, some refactoring like making the thrusters less ridiculously sized in comparison to the rest of the hull (either make one bigger or make one smaller to make it look more reasonable) could be nice. Also, give it a viewport like you gave the moa and drake in recent updates. (I really like the drake's viewport, and the caracal has a couple of perfect places for one. Moa is still ugly as hell even with a viewport, so REDO IT)

The Algos does look spectacular, but don't you dare touch the Dominix or the Moa. The Space Potato is an EVE icon and once you start looking at the Moa as an ostrich running with a suitcase, it really starts to grow on you.

I, too, like how the Algos looks.

I would also like a remodel of the Domi, but the drawback is that I won't be able to come up with creative names for how fugly it looks, unless they make it even MORE fugly!

\o/


Examples:

Ratting Domi: Blind Date

Sin: Brown Baggin' It

Navy Domi: Used Navy Wife

It's a terribly lazy design, it's similarly shaped as the Coercer and Purifier (which I'm also not a fan of) and actually reminds me of this. It's front heavy and shows a lack of effort and time investment by its designer. It looks as if CCP simply didn't bother.

The Algos to me looks like someone put in great care, joy and detail into the design. I bet that design took a lot of talking between devs to create something that's "out there" resulting in someone being very proud of the outcome. it's the same with the Corax in that respect (also, I wouldn't at all mind if this Corax would herald the new Caldari design language and CCP would redo the Caldari V3 stuff in a while).

The Talwar is already suspect and borderline boring, I bet there was a "please, lets not make a Cane/Cyclone/Rifter/Rupture clone" going on, resulting in a complete loss of design options and a "well, at least it's different". I'm not saying it's necessarily ugly but it shows a lack of commitment. Still, it's better off than the Dragoon (which is a crappy name for an Amarr ship to begin with).

I wouldn't be surprised if the Algos and Corax were made by the same designer but he didn't do the Dragoon and/or Talwar, or perhaps he ran out of time and had to rush them.

as I said above, the Algos is a B-52 Starfortress mashed up with a U-boat, and with hangars for wings. it's a good design, with clear inspiration from real world military vehicles. same goes to Corax. it reminds me of the US coast guard cutters, or the new destroyers that are being developed by the US navy.

as for the other two, I totally agree. The Dragoon seems like a lazy atempt at doing a ship, while the Talwar, the artist seem like it ran out of inspiration and tried to stick some solar panel arrays to an engine unit.

It's a matter of personal taste surely, but I for one don't like this close relationship to historic RL tech. Does not fit into a sci-fi game imho. But apart from these design details, I like the overall design of the Algos. For instance I really hope all Gallente NPC stations will get (when V3d) such an amazing force field effect as used for the drone bays of the Algos.

Thank you! I thought I was alone in appreciating the sleek deadliness of the Amarr design.
