I would personally like to see them all in models. Also some more police paint for ships in game preferably the hurricane. Thank you, Johan Force.

I appreciate for Leopard, not painted, to build.
for tailleje think you'll require to make different sizes for frigates and battle cruisers.
in any case, thank you to put models on the market.

My New model is called FEAR
technology by Gallente and Minmatar secrete Space-Mechanics Lab
Looks like a sphere with Minmatar type armor and a big hole for drones in and out
Has big drone bank
and two missle hard points
No one knows how it moves; Its Gallente-Minmatar new technology after all!
Its a battleship and requires 4 G and 4 M to even move.

Must haves: Hyperion, Omen (preferably Navy Painting on the later), Orca
Would likes: Thorax, Algos, Maulus, Abaddon, Armageddon, Talos, Harbinger, Naga, Megathron, Orca, Archon, Nyx, Thanatos, Providence, Avatar, Slicer, Firetail

As for size, well the big ones should fit into your usual book shelf-wide storage. Ships should be in different sizes, but not to scale except if they have the same hull-type (frigates are to scale with frigates, cruisers to cruisers and so on, but not frigate to titan).
As for the material: I like self-build and self-paint kits, but I sadly lack the time to build and talent to properly paint them, so I'd opt for readily-built models. 3D-printing might indeed be an option there and you can always run limited special editions for extra high-quality variants.
As for pricing: I'm one of those, who don't have much excess money left at the end of a month, but I'm perfectly willing to save up and throw it your way. In general the prices of the old store were in the acceptable range, however the real killer were transportation costs (and lack of choice) Do not **** that little detail up again, please.

P.S.: Make them Levitron-compatible (thanks to who brought that up). That stuff is made out of awesome and the perfect display for freaking spaceships!
Also, I'm certain you could fit some lighting into at least the larger ships. Simple button cells can light LEDs for quite a long time and don't use much space. Alternatively, the Levitron Displays offer a wireless-induction energy transfer variant. Spaceships that float and are lighted by wireless energy transfer. That so fits the game.

Always been a fan of the Megathron hull, so any variant of that (and all the other hulls, of course).

As for medium... I would prefer a self-assembly injection plastic moulded kit, such as those made by Airfix, Revell, etc. This give the option to cover all hull variants with a single kit (you can add extra parts for T2 variants, paint as needed) and allow for lighting options if needed. Size should be around 20cm to 30cm to keep price reasonable, but that raises the question of scale between smaller and larger hulls.

Please redesign the caracal. I use missiles, but I hate the look of that ship.

Tornado

Hurricane

Scorpion


Any one of these would be great to have as a real model! Assembled and painted. Maybe with used-look? Some typicel turrets and lights would be the final touch! The size should be "satisfactory" (~ 30 cm)

Oracle

Magnate

Omen

Any one of these would be great to have as a real model! Assembled and painted. Maybe with used-look? Some typicel turrets and lights would be the final touch! The size should be "satisfactory" (~ 8 cm for a Magnate, ~22 cm for Omen)

Maelstrom

Hands down my favorite ship in the game. No smaller than 50cm, made of metal. You can paint it or I can, it makes no difference to me. I've wanted something like this since I started playing four years ago. Would probably buy more than one.

Any minmatar ship.

Loki (customizable) Would buy more than one, gotta have a PVP and a Cloaky.
Rifter
Stabber
Hurricane

also wouldn't mind

Drake
Merlin


OMG. You guys have to do this. DO IT!Shocked

Any battleship

It's going to be a centerpiece though, so make it big.

Slicer would be very welcome. Whereas each other faction has a unique looking navy frigate the Slicer looks like an Executor on a diet.
