i just recently started using the Hoarder for missions. i think its one of the best looking ships in the game it would be much better to be made into a cruiser instead.

show the hoarder some love ccp and use it for your next cruiser skin.

...

eaten forum post is eaten.

Apoc/Armageddon- too good looking and more importantly too "correct" to change.

If they re-do a Caldari ship, it either needs to be the Blackbird (which now looks like it's built of Lego or something) or they need to abandon the idea of "make everything sleek," because Caldari don't do sleek (still trying to figure out where the rest of the drones go on the new Scorpion, since it looks more Gallente than Caldari now...).

Minmatar sail-ships (Tempest, etc.) get my vote, simply because the sails remind me of the bridge on a Star Destroyer- sure, it looks cool but REALLY GUYS? Unfortunately, I have no idea how you'd keep the feel of the ships if you ditch them... so maybe come up with something a little less "Hey let's just weld a few of these things end-to-end" for the higher-order Iterons (by the time you get to the V it really does look rediculous... maybe put some of the cargo space side-by-side or something to keep the semi-modular look).

After I realized that the Apoc is basically an upside down sailing boat I constantly felt the urge to turn the camera angle 180 degrees, to have the ship upright again. Damn OCD.
In the end I sold my Apoc and bought a navy geddon instead. Problem solved.

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

Domi, Thorax*, Imicus, Celestis, Moa, Raven, Harb, Typhoon.

For starters.

* Thorax really needs to retain that same general shape, though. You know. That shape.

+1 for the Raven reskin, that thing is in serious need of a beak job.

Otherwise I would say that the Moa, Typhoon, and Imicus could all use a bit of a redesign.

I vote for this one. A remodelling of the Tempest would be great!!
The other Matar battleships are basically fine.

And oh the Bellicose could use a new model, it looks quite silly.

who cares.

It'll take them 3 months to design and make the new ship model.


They wont start any time soon as they've put everything on pause to revert a list of 10 things that they implimented with incarna.


That will take at least 6 months if not more for them to revert the changes, then they'd have forgotten about redesigning ships, and then maybe at the 12 month mark someone would have poked the CSM's on the forums, they'll remind CCP and 3months after that they might release a new skin!!


But seriously, that space-shoe needs a facelift.



maybe theyll go like STO has an put all the ship skins in the NeX store

Goons; infiltration at its best - first bob... now ccp itself. They dont realize you guys dot take this as "just a game". Bring it down guys, we're rooting for you.

They should reskin the Thorax by giving it a fleshy color and placing all the turret hardpoints on the tip of it.

If it's just a reskin and not a remodeling, I'd say Thorax...



But +1 for the idea with the turrets.

Ships that need to be redone

Raven - definately does not look symetrical

Rokh? - Not so much maybe just smooth it out along the edges

Prophecy - Looks like a fat bird with flat engines

Dominix - Idk maybe attach horns to it lol

Hyperion - Move the turret placement points around the hull, their all in the same place.

Brutix - Give it bigger/wider wings

All of this and a bunch of other ships that I wont list including Minmatar vessels, save the maelstrom. Other than that leave the amarr bs and harby alone.

The reality is I thought I could do better, ... I was wrong and ** you **died because of it.

I think the Imicus looks a bit odd.
I don't think many people use it though, so it's a bit of a waste of time re-skinning it.


When I was but a noob, the Imicus was the first frigate I actually purchased, having acquired a Navitas and an Atron through the tutorial missions. I thought it was awesome... 3 drones at one time! I could actually handle rats in 0.5 space with that! (This is in the first or second week of play.) It let me work up to that Incursus, it let me do Level 1 missions I wouldn't have been able to do at the time in any other ship I could fly.

I'll always like the Imicus for that. I doubt I'll ever fly one again, but I still have that first ship I bought with my own hard-earned ISK.

Be careful in Pulsar systems, you might get Pod Flu.

Retexture needs to happen on all ships IMO. I want the HI-RES coolness. Higher poly models would lend to a better look on some of the legacy designs.

Priority for retexture is hard to say.....I do know the Raven appears to have been textured in Win 98 MS paint...

In the end, If they'd let me fly around the detailed models that are used in those Youtube videos showing the scale of ships...I'd pee and sing pony songs

I think gallente and minmatar are overdue for one, i vote typhoon to look like a big brother of the hurricane, or that astrometrics frgiate the gallente have to be redone so we can fly tech 2 gallente covert ops again.

You can change were your guns are placed on the hull by changing what high slots use use for the weapons now. Fill both of those forward positions and leave one of the other (less obvious) slots for whatever else you are putting in that extra high.
