Except the Moa.

CCP has to redue every god damn ship in the game twice over making them all jaw dropping works of art and leave the Moa just as it is.

10 Years later when every other ship is so perfect no one on the forum or anywhere has any complaints about any of them they have to announce that they are finally updating the Moa model.

Then they have to make it even more lopsided. Why do they have to do this... Because this is EVE not WoW and just by saying that I get support no matter how bad the idea.

Has the Raven model been updated since Trinity?

The V3 skinning of many caldari ships is really nice. The new Manticore? Fantastic. Nemesis? I think for Gallente ships it's up there with the nyx in aesthetics.

It was pugly then, and fugly now. I don't understand why they wouldn't change the shape when they updated the model. What's the point? It still looks like a pinapple after being stuffed into a horse's rear end. Wasted manhours.

The model's shape has been changed?! Really? Was sure it was just a new pretty V3 skin.

There is a new model, but it's still roughly the same shape. A waste.

Sharper edges mostly, minor model work, more antenna and a new bridge.

Agreed, don't touch the Moa. It's iconic.

The Moa is so awesome it doesn't need to change.

“Omfg that's a fuuuuugly ship!"
“Fsck you, I'm a Moa” *SMAT*
“… Ow! Sowwy …”



…at least it should be. Cry

I wish the Merlin would be like that, but now it's so OP that all min-maxers are going to use one. I bet CCP will be dumb enough to do the same stupid **** with the Moa and Ferox, and then they'll make the Rokh like the Naga. In solo PVP it pays to fly a ship people think under performs.

Excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude.

NOTHING should change before the MOA!!!!i

The Moa actually looks quite a bit like the giant wingless bird it was named after, if that bird was drunk and off balance.

I would not mind it being off-kilter if it was symmetrical. And I would not mind it being asymmetrical as much if it was not off-kilter. In its current form it puts my OCD into overheat with great potential for damage to the adjacent modules in my cranial rack.

The Raven looks a lot heavier now. It has a similar bulkiness as the Scorpion.

The propulsion area is also considerably different.

I'd like to keep the Moa model the same. It's a testament to the once-LEGO-like designs of the Caldari, and to be honest its aesthetic has really grown on me.
