Miners stare at their ship quite a lot, they might as well stare at something that looks cool, high tech and impressive. I'd love to see CCP's newer art style refinements applied to the Hulk model, which bluntly put looks like ****.

Ehh. I mean I don't object to it, in the same sense that I wouldn't object to being handed a chocolate icecream cone, but I can't help but wonder if there could be better uses for the art department.

I like the mining barge designs. The moving components and venting gases evoke a decidely industrial feel, which is the idea.

My god, I just realized how amazing some ice cream would be right now. I haven't had ice cream in something like two years, now that I think on it.

Hulk Redesign would be great.

At the manufacturing level.

Cheaper to build and fit:

- Torp/ Cruiser T2 fit, Rigged Raven
- Full T2 fit and rigged Damnation

Hulks and Mackinaw are the Monocles of ships in EVE.

Lemme put it this way:

Is a pickaxe high-tech, cool and modern? Is a conveyer belt suave and chique? Is a digger sleek and elegant?

Sure, they can redesign the Hulk, as long as it distracts them from messing up any more Amarr ships.

Mining Barges are one of the only visually coherent ship lines in EVE.

Don't **** it up by making the last ship not look at all like the others.

I agree that they should revamp mining mechanics but aesthetics should be CCP's least priority.

internet spaceships

are serious business sir.

and don't forget it

Mining mechanics first indeed, although the hulk looks comparatively "lame" to it's much weaker brethren.

They should be more inline with the ORE Ships like the Primea/Noctis and Rorqual. (Orca is just a weird one0. as its ORE and DCM together if i am correct.)

All ships are getting visually redesigned last I heard.

This project is tritary however to all other art projects.

Required Art Assests (new ships new stuctures) are primary projects and always will be.

V3 Art Project is secondary but its making good pace may be completed for all ships by winter expansion and all objects by next winter.

The remodel project however seemed to shift from the most forgotten/dull out of place ships and moved twoards a systematic approach on frigates. This is likely probably becuase of the new launcher changes and some frigates dont handel that many slots that easily.

Some ships will only receive a face lift like the raven. Other will suffer a THD in its model and be spewed out as something entirely newish.

This means shuttles and even barges are likely to get looked at.
