Background: I left Eve early in the Incursion patch series and have just recently returned to playing.

I could not help but notice that several changes had been made in ships both familiar and unfamiliar, New Frigates like the Venture, changed roles to Frigates, Destroyers, and Cruisers. I scrolled through the patch notes archive to find out when these things had happened and perhaps more importantly why.

My question is when did they change the rookie ships? Not the role bonuses, I found that, but the LOOK?

I should add that I think the New design for the Calderi, and Minmater rookie ship is a huge improvement.

They changed them when they made them look different...

Everyone is always repeating the mantra "Don't Trust Anyone" ad nauseum... If I can't trust the guys I play with, why bother playing with them at all? Fly Solo...

Hope you can prove that to CCP. Petitoned for impersonating an older player.

Hmm. Artwork change, oh, a year and a half ago, roughly? November 2011, IIRC.

Edit: No, correction: Jan 2012.
