Title says it all. Approximately when can we expect some of the new ships from the competition.
Will it be this year ? If not approximately when. Any new news is welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Tornado for Christmas? Perhaps perhaps...

It takes CCP 2 years and 80 devs to make a SKIN for a ship, let alone introduce an entirely new ship. As such, I think we have a while yet.

Just turn the model of the myrmidon upside down, paint brown and u have a tornado, shouldnt be that hard really.

The whole art contest was a fiasco already... deviant art, nuff said.

It's not the ship, it's having a ROLE for that ship. If there's no reason to introduce a new ship role wise, then it would be silly to just "add some". And ofcourse with the awesome system CCP uses that means that they'll never get to actually DO it as you'll only get a new ship if they work on other ship stuff as well (keeping with the "we don't do single stuff, we do the whole thing" idea), but 2 seconds after deciding to work on ships they refocus to something new, and again, and again, and again.

In short, lack of focus, oversight and a CEO who doesn't communicate too well results in nothing much happening.

Me personally, the only role that I'm "missing" is that of an all in one exploration ship (Yes I know there's a T3) with scanning bonus and decent tank/dps capability. Just to make sure it would actually be used for exploration (and not for killing explorers) you might limited it to core probe launchers or something.

Excuses are the refuge of the weak.

They could always just replace the Vargur's model with it or something. Would be better than the current re-skinned tempest. Or throw some Angels styling on it and make it the Angels battlecruiser. Then it would make sense that it looks like a minmified myrm I guess.

Doesn't need a new role. Tornado should just be the V3 revamp of the Tempest.

Elements of the past and the future combining to make something not quite as good as either.

took me a week, the model has no broken bits, is fully attached (the entire hull, engines wings etc is 1 component), linked and ready for final animation rigging work. Oh and needs a skin but i dont have photoshop and refuse to murder my ships with paintbrush textures. If only i knew about this competition. How long ago was it held? i bet i wasnt even playing eve at the time /sigh

"There was an issue with parsing this post's BBCode" huh? <-- awesome the feature given to make links doesnt work, it just recycles that parsing bbcode error

Lol goons don't have caps silly. If you want to kill caps hit up the DRF or PL. The CFC is too terrible to have caps.

Sad panda. It would be nice if a dev would respond if only to let us know they read the thread.

There is nothing wrong with 10 ships that do essentially the same role...generalmotors

I'd like to know this too... it's been a while. Maybe the ship contest is going the way of the devs answer every question thread. They got bored and dropped it? Meh. Tornado was cool though...

This has come up before and we've never gotten a definitive answer. The CSM has a meeting with CCP Zulu (EVE's Senior Producer) later today. I'll make sure this gets asked (again) and see if there has been any movement so far or if there is any planned. Failing a real answer, I'll rattle the cage of :marketing: and get someone to look at this thread and maybe even reply.

Soon. Maybe a dev would be awesome and post below that they've prompted the art department for screenshots of the new T3 models and promise to reveal us their progress in the next blog. Why not Smile

I heard that in winter we might get them.
