Looks more like a Federation Navy Comet to me. And that's definitely what it is -- you can tell based on the positioning of the engines, the wings, and the ridge running down the ship's spine. Very clear.

That is what it looks like, but those were not pilot-able at release either... It seems really odd that they would have an NPC ship on the cover...


Lots of games do that, though. They dump a bunch of visuals -- screenshots, design art, rough models, etc. -- into the hands of the art department, and those are the guys who put together the box art. It's far less important that it be 100% reflective of the gameplay experienced by the player than something eye-catching.

And for the record, I still buy boxed copies of my games whenever possible.


The joke Sol was attempting was any time any one asks .."what ship is that?" the answer is Templar, capital ship drone no matter what ship it actually is

It is similar to the "what song is that?" being Derude sandstorm in youtube

inside joke basically

Back when video games came in boxes... and way back when Eve was $50, I bought the aforementioned game and saved the box.

While I was out of town my wife redecorated my room and took a bunch of these boxes down to Kinkos or what ever and had them copied onto black matte.

Long story short, I have a copy of the original Eve Online box directly to the right of my computer.

And it is driving me crazy.

What is that fish shaped ship in the picture, and what type of station is it that the fish is shooting at?

A link to the picture for to help.

I remember that box, when Arnold Schwarzenegger was still doing publicity for CCP.

Shephard.

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!?
