EVE General Discussion

I really don't like new Moa. Back in the day, those crazy asymmetrical Caldari (and junk Minmatar) designs brought me to this game. That was gulp of fresh air after countless numbers of "your generic sci-fi spaceship designs" in other games and tv series.
And now it feels like EVE returns to the "generic zone" with this firefly-like Moa and symmetrical Condor.

Does this mean that the Gila will be redesigned as its a Moa hull?

Symmetry online :(

Those other two needed an update as well.

Yep, just make those nacelles on the wingtips a bit bigger and put a slightly larger arse on the fuselage..... SHINY ! ! ! !

Typhoon looks like it has a massive hangar bay.

Still, kind of like it.

Never really fly the condor or Moa, but look nice.

Oooooh I get it, the top view looks like a uterus.

Oh wait, thats not what you meant...

Looking at this from a more businessey standpoint, no 14 year old is going to look at the old moa and think that is a sick ship and get him to try the game to fly it.

I for one started playing cause i saw one of ccps early promo trailers with awesome wubwub and space action and thought that the ships looked baller.

As it turns out those trailers where a huge misrepresentation of the game but luckily i was ass-pie enough to stick with it.

Most of the models are so horribly outdated and whether you like the conceptual design or not almost all of the older models have a huge problem of improper scaling. They even mentioned this themselves at the art panel at this years fanfest.
With improper scaling I'm not talking about the ships size but the relative size of details on the ship.
Some bad examples of this that i can think of from the top of my head is the incursus/Enyo with its potatoe shape, weird lance, side shields and free standing motorcycle exhaust pipes. While the overall design concept is cool the relative size of these things make the ship look cartoony.
To better convey the scale of the ship you should streamline the potatoe, make the Lance-antenna thinner, Pull the shields closer to the hull and not have the enyo exhaust pipes go up and then out but have them be in contact with the hull.

Another example is the vexor, just remove the beehive-ass part and you would have a sick looking, scale proper, ship.

It's difficult to explain with words. :D

All the new ship designs, no matter if you like the concepts themselves, are great in this way. They all conveys a proper size and scale.

Good job and keep removing the eye-sores of New Eden.

Is your head small or are those goggles massive?

I saw some Dominix redesigns. What about that?
