I just saw the minnie destroyer video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M6n-YhIvno).

Let's say I was less than impressed. It actually looks like a Matilda II tank (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matilda_tank) with a snow plow attached to the front.

Please CCP, don't tell us there where no other designs for this... no alternatives. Anything could have been better than this brick!

I beg you to reconsider.

PS: Caldari/Gallente look great so far :)

And you didn't see the honestly sound designs for the Stabber and Tempest?

That balances it out perfectly, IMO.

looks good IMO, but then again if you don't like it don't fly it. simple as that.

-How- does that look bad to you? Sharp edges, symmetry, it's like a thrasher with a bit more body.

I'd like to remind you all that the new destroyers aren't the focus of testing, they are incidental WiP contained in the build. The art team have not requested early focus on their work nor are the actively seeking feedback so will not be monitoring threads.

Be that as it may, but I doubt they'd have a problem with the admiration for their great work expressed here.

Gotta admit, I really like the new Caldari destroyer, though the Gallente one's model isn't far behind.

Also, I never thought I'd ever warm up to the Tempest, I really didn't. Its new model definitely shows promise.

Both (Minmatar and Caldari) destroyers need a mast and sail.

While they might not be monitoring threads regarding this, i hope to God that one of you have at least informed them of the general opinion of the new Minmatar destroyer design from areas of this forum such as 'General Discussion'.

It would be irresponsible to ignore the reactions to the leaked designs at this early stage where changes can be easily made.

At what stage are we allowed to save them from themselves?

A week before release when nothing can be done?

Seriously, the new minnie destroyer looks even worse than the 3rd place in the DA design-a-starship competition and that was crap

Most people seem to be happy with the new Minmatar dessy, but I guess the nay-sayers would prefer something like this: http://thumbs.imagekind.com/member/371a96b6-01a4-4311-bf39-c04ecb00ac2c/uploadedartwork/650X650/cb21508b-1569-4d2a-a5aa-6d809bb3b8c3.jpg

Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.

Only if by "most" you mean almost no one. In the threads I've seen on the topic, about 4 out of 5 agree it's a **** model that needs to be scrapped completely and started from scratch.

This. Lots of hate for that model as it's just ugly and dumb looking...

Look what's been done to the tempest, and look what's been done to the vaga/stabber... Those 3 models look great. Stick with what works, some weird looking spiky bug turd is not the answer.

I think it looks fine. Certainly isn't the worst looking ship in the game.

I'm sure you all recall how we ended up with a completely different Purifier model from the one shown at FanFest after the lukewarm reception it received on-stage. Hopefully we can pull off the same thing here. I thought that hull would grow on me, but it hasn't.

Rattati Senpai noticed us! See you in the next FPS!
