TL;DR:

Make special blueprints (aurum purchasable only) where you could build older variants of the remodeled ships.
Have the option to revert back to the old UI for nostalgia's sake.

For the first point, i REALLY miss the old apoc model. i would absolutely pay to have a BPC where i could build an Apoc with the old model.

and the second reason, NOSTALGIA.

As long as that was appearance only I see no reason why not.
If you want them to go back to older specs then I say no way.

If the assets required are still in the client, then hell yes, give people more optional cosmetic items which they may pay more for.

If not, I'd be hesistant to add this until/unless we know how much it adds to the client and if it would require more work from the art departement.

Talking more,

Flying crazier,

And drinking more

I only want my helios model back other than that I'm content with the rest of the model changes. If you want me to be completely happy keep clone death the way it is and instead fix insurance.

While it would be reasonably interesting to do this, the main issue is that there are new graphics techniques being applied to the ships in the game, such as pbr. Having to apply these to the old shipmodels would consume a significant amount of resources for in effect, very little gain.

I've suggested this and seen some threads on the subject. As much as I would LOVE to have my old scorpion/maller hull, game code has already been put in play. Skins might be different but I don't see CCP bothering with that just yet.

As far as changing ships back to old loadouts = No way in hell will we get old school canes running around. Game changes for a reason.

Are you honestly telling me you run windows 7 or 8 in windows 95 mode at home when you buy and installed it?
