For a design that took a fast Destroyer and scaled it up to a fast Battle Cruiser with over sized guns, I'd say the changes look pretty logical.


For me, design logic does not equate to design beauty. It may "make sense" to have 5 large barrels lashed sideways to the top of the hull to accommodate the oversized weapon turrets. But that does not make it look pretty. It's like welding three fifty gallon drums to the hood of a Ferrari because of the increased fuel capacity necessitated by the larger engine...then saying it still looks good because it makes sense.

Or makes "cents". They could rename it "Sixty-five Dollars". I count 4 rolls of quarters and 5 rolls of dimes melded into the model.

Retаrded car analogies are retаrded.

Why not mount a minigun on that Ferrari?


A Ferrari with a minigun would look better than this paper airplane with barrels strapped to it. And if you don't like car analogies, why make another car analogy? Hyprocrite's reply is hypocritical.

It was part of my comment on your car analogy. And damn right the minigun would look good on that Ferrari, barrel-like housing for the turret hardpoint notwithstanding.

As to the Talos hull form-factor: it's a single-hull Megathron.

Patch Day most likely. (sorry, had to do it)

Ship is OK looking but everyone knows Gallente women are prettier than their ships.

Eagerly awaiting the next 2.

I'm no fighter... but I can imagine the fight going one of two ways
(1). Alpha annihilates all targets. - The End
(2). Alpha annihilates all but a few targets - time to run!

When will we see them on SISI? - Are they there now?

You do realize that all baster ships are a bit more agile and less massive now right?
And that blaster range has been addressed.

And secondly both drawings of are of the same ship, I dont see why you're comparing oranges to oranges.

I'm all glad you'll introduce "GAMEPLAY CHANGING STUFF" in the next expansion agian.

But really, please finish up establishments sometime soon - or give us some extra apocrypha-kind of expansions too!

as much as i do like the new talos i was kinda hoping it was gonna be this one!

even so it looks kinda similar-ish

i can see a modified version of this being a very likely contender for the amarr Oracle!

although my personal preference is this one Though it looks more like a battleship.

i reeeeeeeeaaaaalllly like this for the caldari Naga... u really HAVE to look at that 1 close up! its very caldari! and very lush!



ohh btw get rid of the web bonus on the Talos... all your doing is throwing yet another gal ship into the overflowing basket of lowsec-only gallente gank ships!

Gallente need a viable fleet pvp ship.

I'm liking the "broken" model way more than the "omega" model. And we'll see how the amarr one turns out... Hope it's good

I like both ships, they share a similar quality, they both look kinda like their race design philosophies , and yet slightly off, as if influenced by new tech/ideas.

I hope some nice story elements can be incorporated into their launch, some common tech, based on capacitor and or hull advances. Anyway I am more curious about the Oracle I really hope it is going to be the Mentor model, or perhaps another awesome looking ship... and so far nobody has any idea what the Caldari one will look like!

Yeah, I really like that second amarr model, that's one sexy looking ship.

That Caldari one looks more cruiser sized than BC size, but it oculd be tweaked to be one sexy naga...

They're slowly revamping ship models to follow that design philosophy, starting with the T3's, then the scorp and the maller.

Personally, I would love CCP to get a lot of money so they can do a full out second Trinity for FiS... But this and the promise of a second apocrypha are higher up on the wishlist...

I agree with whoever said that the CCP modifications harmed the original ship design. But the original design doesn't even look EVE-like... more reminiscent of submarines and fighter planes.
