Hey everyone, first post ever, just wanted to throw an idea out there and see if anyone agrees.

I really like the fact that CCP continues to redesign the skins of ships every few years, and I think the new Moa art looks great.

Something I would really like to see in the future is the Serpentis, Blood, and Gurista faction ships start to have their own individual designs, as opposed to just re-skined versions of Empire ships (I think this will be especially important when we eventually get the chance to customize the color and decals of our ship appearances anyways).

So here's my suggestion - let the Gila keep the old Moa-Dinosaur-With-A-Briefcase design. It will stand out from the pack and give it the eccentric-but-deadly look it deserves.

Everyone fears Dinosaurs. And dinosaurs with briefcases.

Instead I would go for a new color scheme. Because the current Gurista colors are awful.

In fact one of the problems with Caldari ships is that the corp and Navy color schemes of the T2 ships are just all around bad.

Guristas will not receive their own individual ship models because they are stolen Caldari craft, which have then been upgraded to Guristas standards.

Valkyrie sets a precedent here.

Also, there's no reason why the Guristas could make an upgrade to their ships, giving them their own proper design.

If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all...

The New skins on ships is in my opinion the most useless thing EVE added, in the long run, different colors dont matter when ure in Battle. A Waste of time, Money and non the least, isk. But it really suprices me that players actually buying that crap...

Since they didn't show a Moa dressed in Gurista paint, its probably safe to say that was because the Gurista Moa - Gila, will have a different model.

Once upon a time the Golem had a Raven hull and it looked good. Then it transformed into a plataduck. The end.

Please do this. Or do this.

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.

Nope.

There's nothing "eccentric" about the fact it looks like a giant mechanical Fedo trying to take a crap.

Sometimes extinction is the right answer. This is one of those times.
