Have You ever been playing EVE? Have You taken the part in medium or large gangs ever? Let's imagine that You are saying in team speaker: "Primary Boundless Creations Hurricane! Shoot Boundless Creations Hurricane!" Do You really think that this is possible in real fight?

As mentioned a lot of times already, they are not changing the names. They only said which skin/model that ship will become...
Names are safe...


you did not understand him Roll

one part of the reasoning for the change was that now models and progression should be optically possible.
he was sarcastic, by saying people would actually identify ships like that when the use overview and names .....

so basically the main "gameplay" reasoning for this change is bull****

No, I think Tinukeda'ya got it right.

Rather than be creative and come up with new concept models you are using different ships skins and slapping red and blue strips on it....brilliant !

Worst change I've seen in Eve in awhile.

And believe me, there have been some doozies over the years. :(

Do not run. We are your friends.

Where were all you whiners when this idea was proposed? I remember when everyone I knew in EVE thought that a Kaalakiota Drake would be freaking awesome. Now that it is finally here CCP is drowning in tears. I'm surprised they modify the game at all with this crying.

I like the changes. Especially the CreoDron Myrmidon.

This is quite upsetting to see the hulls be changed to something so boring. With only the promise of them being modified in the future.

I'd have to agree with the issue of working on something that will be redundant later on. The Tier 1 hulls have always been much more solid designs and their T2 variations a lot more vicious looking. Furthermore the turret layout on these hulls need to be properly attended to.

I'd have to say that I think while the update on the idea of changing their respective hulls over is welcome. Changing them now without making considerable modification is not. Give the design teams their plaything, but keep that bland Hurricane away from my Sleipnir.

Maybe the fact that the old suggestion was hidden in thread called "About the Eos' model" might have something to do with that... Pilots that do not fly Eos might have simply ignore that one.

Also that one was more like hypothetical. On the other hand this is for real. It's official announcement covering all the Command ships and majority of the command ship pilots is probably reading this.

And from what I see following this thread most of them are against the change but CCP just don't care anyway 'cause the "Feedback was overwhelmingly positive" (-CCP Fozzie) in the previous EOS thread.

I'm still trying to find an alternative ship for me to fly when the Slurricane hits Tranquility... Not really successful so far.

Brought nighthawk due to ferox hull, am not impressed. Massive dislike!


This.

The other models look fine. But plz leave the beautiful Nighthawk as is. Also there is history there: recall rocket wizardry videos. It's such an elegant ship now. Don't waffle it.

Drake looks like it had so little thought put into it and it is a DRAKE for gods sake. A drake with T2 resists will simply be the ugly duckling with a red stripe. Hurricane, camo is camo.

A; for effort
F; for result


As a side question on manufacturing the new hulls. If I have Nighthawk BPC's in my hanger at the time of the change, will they remain nighthawks or become Vultures?

My opinions are mine.

  If you don't like them or disagree with me that's OK.- - - - - - Just don't bother Hating - I don't care

It really is getting harder and harder to justify $23 a month for each sub.

Whiners?
No one is against the t2 versions of said BC's.
In fact I welcome T2 Canes, Drakes and Myrms.

Just don't slap them on perfectly fine Commandship hulls.
The complaints are legit: most of these hulls are pretty damn signature to said ships.

Make a new, special BC class to use these hulls for.

The ship itself statistics wise doesn't change, so you can rest assured Nighthawks remain Highthawks.

I'm alright with the change to the Sleipnir as long as there's also an update to the Hurricane model!

Wait, so if it's a drake with a red stripe it's no thought, but the ferox with a red stripe is fine?
