Hmm...

I can understand the amarr-redesigning and the stealthbomber redesigning, but why is CCP touching the already newly-textured caldari and gallente ships? they could've easilly survived for another 5 to 10 years before needing such a massive redesign.

Probably because those are ships that new players utilize in tutorial missions.

is the design only for the T2 ships, in other words are they stepping away from using paintjopbs on T1 ships.

That would be awsome

Navitas and Atron are already good why redesign them?

Imicus got worse... 0.o

Good touch on SBs but will they change t1 hulls?

Point of view, but for me everything else that you can throw at Imicus just can't make it worse than actually it is.

I really like the new Gallente concepts!

Imicus still isn't the sexiest of frigs, but surely that is a huge improvement over the hilariously deformed Robby the Friendly Robot -looks.

Tristan still looks like Tristan, but not a stupid Fat Man <3 Same with Atron, no longer the space puppy Big smile

New CCP loves Gallente \o/

There is a difference between re-texture and re-design. All the ships are getting the V3 re-texture and all the ships are getting re-designed to some extent. Some greater than others. In the presentation the actually separated both projects out. V3's will come first for all the ships and re-designing them will occur while the V3 is being done and after.

Bounties for all! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2279821#post2279821

I'm digging the new bombers, but atron and imicus are mehhh. Tbh they just need to make the wingy bits on the current atron and related ships symmetrical. I've seen a concept art of one, and it just looks mean.

I like the stealth bomber redesigns, the Manticore and Nemesis in particular. I hope the Manticore design is for the Kestrel too, the Kestrel could do with losing those weird pontoon things in the middle.

i am all for new graphics i just hope CCP keeps in mind computer hardware gets better pretty fast so re-doing something you made 1 year ago isn't economically efficient it just eats resources from creating new stuff.

there should be long term plan for keeping graphics at certain level instead of going into it case-by-case basis.

i am currently still working with Pentium II hardware based UI (msdos, win311, xgem lol) at work since it has not been efficient to replace it yet. Now that hardware isn't manufactured anymore and even old spare parts are out of stock it seems practical to start thinking about new.

Just saying.

Some new aspects just make redoing some ships necessary. The old frig models would likely look horrible with tacked on shrunk torp and bomb launchers. Some work needs to be done case-by-case. If they happened to wait tell everything was done at once, it would take so long to release that is would be far and away outdated or new tech was already in the pipeline. For games, you have to keep pretty current. You cant play decent current games on a late 90s Pentium II. EVE is spreadsheets joke aside, Its economically efficient for them to look attractive every day for new players.

I think the imicus needs to lose the forewings.

Please ditch the Imicus design! It's better than the current one but it's still hideous. Start it from scratch, imo.

Nice, quick update from the Art guys. Personal takeaway:

  • Do not want Tristan redesign. GTFO my game.
  • Imicus: so, so improved. I feel like I can breathe again.
  • Crucifier: looking like a spaceship now!
  • Atron: minor tweaks make for a stronger-looking hull.
  • Navitas: ...but... does anyone use this after the first day or two of the trial?

  • New hulls for SBs are welcome, as far as I'm concerned. Although, like the Punisher, the Purifier looks almost unchanged.

For the most part, this is welcome news. Just...

Leave my Tristan alone.

Get rid of space camo.

I'm sorry, all you people saying stuff about the "much improved" Imicus, linky please? Because all I'm seeing is this: http://imgur.com/a/KFuhX#7

"Gimpy Robo Bucktooth Monkey Man" became "Squatting Crapping But Symmetrical(whoop..) Man" with what appears to be some kind of a large phallus or a large phallus cover. I sincerely hope that probes are now shot out like little turds from its nether regions, it's only appropriate.

Funny, I thought the Imicus couldn't get worse. SUDDENLY :CCP:

the nemesis and the manticore are freaking awesome, the hound is copied from one of the project presented on the contest design from where we got the tornado as well, the nemesis is kind of lame
