You seem to have missed the memos, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but they're removing the rust and duct tape. They're replacing it with flat colors for T1 and yet more space camo for T2. Oh, and they're removing all the cool, unique features like the vaga's ears and the fleet tempest's square wingy bits.

Yes, unfortunately some of the decisions being made with remodels are stripping away the former character each races ships had. Colors are becoming rather less brilliant and distinctive even as they add a metalic sheen. Iconic features are being dropped. It is all rather disappointing tbh. Sad

This is an outrage. No more rusty wingy bits? No more duct taped thrusters? Strike, I say, strike!

When I looked at the Minnie V3 video in youtube I started to wonder of the "NEW and OLD" text were opposite by mistake ...

The old ones actually looked better and more minnie like. The new colors and all looked like the standard alibabas desert camo spaceships.

Posting in yet another one of these threads.

Seriously is there nothing we can do to save the unique look of the Minnie line? I trained up and chose Minmatar mostly for their looks, now the entire ship line is changing. Don't get me wrong, change is usually for the better in this game, but I feel like some really poor decisions made it out of the brainstorming process.

Here is my personal list of things I don't really like in no particular order:

- Vagabond and its pilot cabin wingy bits. I can't stress how disappointed I was to see this in the video. There's no particular reason to remove such an iconic? part of the ship.

- Fleet Issue Tempest and its wingy bits. Why change them? They made the ship look unique, cool and tempting to fly. Considering its nothing special, having a different look made it attractive.

- The t2 ships in general, but mostly the Command ships. Honestly I can't tell which is which anymore. Both the Sleip and the Claymore look like black flashlights.

I hope the patch wasn't rolled, because the rendering department needed more time.

I have the exact same experience with Amarr T2. While I like the ships on their own merits, I initially started looking into them because I wanted to fly a brilliant gold-and-red beauty, or an intimidating black pimpmobile. Now I'm stuck with... brown and burgundy... and grey. It's just downright disappointing.

I can just hope the art team gets the message that, while we appreciate an upgrade in detail, the bland indistinguishable colors, tons of space camo, and removal of all unique features is, as far as I've seen, almost universally disliked.

DON'T TOUCH MY SPACEKITTY's EARS!

The U.S. Navy has developed a railgun that can hit a target the size of a watermelon from about 200km away.  its probably around 8,000 years in the future, we can go faster then light, be immortal, teleport capital ships, communicate instantly, mine asteroids and make ships invisible,yet still our railguns can't even hit a massive spaceship over 100km....
