I'm going to nickname one "wiggles" now that it does stuff during warp. It's also cool to mention the back of it has iris doors for drones.

Oh, I perfectly understand, Hal Morsh — a mission like this requires courage, skill, and heroism… qualities you are clearly lacking. Have you forgotten you're one of the bloody immortals!?

It also has a nice little animation if it warps.

I, on the other hand, want the game to change, though. I want the game to improve. Not disimprove, mind you. Like, CCP hf. wasting valuable manpower on cockeyed changes like 'beheading The Flying Fat Man'. for example.

I'm going to miss the original, but I like the new one.

I liked the old model better, much more striking and iconic than this new "sleeker" design which basically just looks like a bastardized approximation of the old design. I absolutely HATE the extremely bent appendages. Without the memory of the old design to back it up, there would be nothing mentionable about the new model aside from the addition of warp animation. This new design feels vapid and superfluous by comparison. I seriously hope the art team starts taking a lighter hand with their revamps, because what they've done to the Scorpion, Stabber and now Tristan is absolutely disappointing.

Want newer sleeker designs based on the much more original and memorable models? Save them for Tech II versions or make new ships! If this keeps up, all of the ships in eve will be watered down "cool" looking pieces of crap.

Please hold onto those old designs. They may have less flare, but they have more substance.

If you like any of the older ship models (original artwork) better than the redesign of your favorite hull and don't want them to be lost forever, support ship customization and this feature request.
