What the Talwar destroyer should have been

Minmatar dessie


This was the 2nd or 3rd place winner of the art contest and should have been the design for the Talwar which, I think is still a horrible looking design. Just my opinion, but I thought all 3 of the winners design were making it into the game.

that looks more like it's a frigate sized ship, I certainly don't see 7 hardpoints for the turrets

I like it. It looks like the Loki and Breacher had a love child.

It reminds me of the slasher. I quite like the current Talwar design. Am I the only one?

I thought you were going to say a 8 projectile dessie with volley dmg and scan resolution bonus...

Anyway, I don't care how it looks.P

Well. I guess you could expand the back "flaps" to get more missiles turrets and voila.

It looks better than the actual Talwar indeed, but not so sure you could cram enough hardpoints onto it.

I see some Slasher and Hound in it. I like that design very much.

I have to say that one looks great, but I'm loving the Talwar looking right now; for me, it looks like an all-devouring worm with its jaws open wide, ready to eat frigs ^^

Squat ugly tugboat thing for minmatar? I do not see the problem. The tsunami design, while nice, isn't really that original and looks a lot like at least 3 of the current lineup.

Anyway with the stabber and the tempest looking all competent and smug, minmatar could do with some extra ugly to keep the the cyclone company on those long nights in space.

Looks like a skeleton of a Venture to me.

I like both the performance and look of the Talwar but I am an odd jit.

Chalk it up to Minmatar engineering, fitting twice the guns in half the space.

Worm or evil bug, either way I like it.
