What do you think of them?

Early concepts needing a lot of work?

...or good to go?

EDIT : People resorting to suggesting alternatives!!

If you flip the bow/stern of the ship (so that it is flying away from us) then I see this is a great design that fits perfectly into the Minmatar suite of ships.

Any chance of a mock up? (Probably just need to draw on some engine exhaust, something like this???)

Gallente one is pretty much spot on; could be a bit more melty. Amarr needs a complete redesign because really, who was that lazy?

"We will create the introduction thread if that is requested by the community. Also, we will have an ISD Seminar about the CCL team in the coming weeks in which you can ask your questions about the CCL team and provide some constructive feedback to us." - Countless pages of locked threads and numerous permabanned accounts later, change is coming.

I can't make my mind up about the Minmatar one at all. Perhaps a full rack of rockets/missiles would balance it better? Gallente one is intriguing Shocked

Love the Caldari U-Boat and the Gallente ships is. . . well it's a Gallente ship so no comment. As for the Amarr, I like the look, but it looks an awful lot like the coercer; having design similarities and being a lookalike aren't the same thing. The Matar destroyer is awful; Minmatar ships aren't supposed to be all that pretty to look at, but the flying junkyards are supposed to have some charm; a good Matar ship is ugly in an A-10 sort of way, awesome enough that you just don't care.

The core of the ship is almost there, but the current wingy bits ruin it.

I vote make it less like a brick (more open of build maybe) and move the solar panel things to be more like how they are on the tempest, or even better, one on the top and a few at an angle off the bottom to give it a look reminiscent of a shark.

CCP, the minmatar destroyer - you can't polish a turd.

Please give the job to one of your more talented artists to rework it.

I really like the look of the Caldari dessie. I'm certainly going to pick one up. Big smile

I also like the salvage drones, those will come in handy.

I actually like the look, and am training light missiles (already have Rocket Specialization to IV) for that and the Caldari dessie.

I was really hoping the Gallente and Amarr ships would follow the "WWI" theme the others have going, not entirely impressed with either on the looks but I've been shying away from drones recently anyway. vOv

You can roll one in glitter - it's superficially pretty but it still smells Shocked

Amarr one looks like a beefy Coercer. What?

To Be Honost:

Damn Ugly and totally not in line with the current ship styles.

The caldari one, paint it yellow and you got half a banana...
Amarr one looks like a Gallente ship :x
Gallente one, drop the balls on it and give it wings or dont but not half an attempt .. (although it might give some ppl the balls to finally fight)
Minmatar one looks like something from the new WOT update as an experimental tank with a drill on the front.

And the mining frig, wait what we can play star wars pod racer in EVE now???

i like them all so far

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

I don't find the Minmatar destroyer appealing at all. It would be passable except for the block sitting on top where you'd expect the turret of an archaic self propelled howitzer to be.

The Caldari and Gallente destroyers are pretty cool. The Amarr one is too much like a Coercer: even the other Amarr ships which share design cues squeeze some differences in, such as the "face" of the Magnate vs Omen vs Prophecy vs Apocalypse.

With all due respect to the artists involved, the Minmatar destroyer is awful. Of course when you zoom out enough it's just a broken square icon like the rest of the ships in the fight, so the poor industrial design isn't going to stop me using it. I will feel dirty every time I fit one in station though.

I don't see why people are hating on the Minmatar one?

Smooth out that too-blocky cockpit/bridge part up top and it's just right.

ORE Frigate's still the best, though.

I like the Amarr and Gallente dessies. (And it'd be nice to have an Amarr dessie that doesn't suck.) The Gallente one is a bit too Buck Rogers-y, maybe, but that's just me.

The Caldari dessie just looks weird to me. Maybe I just need to see it in-game. It might grow on me, like the Moa did.

The Minmatar dessie is just plain fugly, and it could displace the Rupture as the ugliest ship in the game. Which is sad, because the Thrasher is, to my mind, one of the coolest ship designs in the game.

Love the Amarr boat, although I do agree that perhaps the front could be tweaked to look less like the Coercer.

Gallente and Caldari hulls are decent, look good but nothing remarkable.

The Minmattar... thing... is just downright horrible in the looks department, which is a damn shame because stats-wise it looks to be a great fun heavy interceptor rocket spewing beauty.

i agree with Most above...

The Caldari one in my opinion is just plain sexy . The Amarr dessy look way to much like the Coercer, please CCP make it look different as the one there looks pretty much like the coercer has spent to long in the gym.

Cant really decide on the Gallente one, most Gallente ships are horrible in my eyes bar the odd few e.g. Megathron and the Hyperion.

The Minmatar is truly horrible and i would go as far as to say that you should sack whoever designed that piece of junk, or at least put him/her on a graphic design course. Honestly the redesign of the Stabber and Tempest look really good, why cant this.

Right now i only want to see that Minmater dessy when it explodes.

Caldari - 9.9/10
Amarr - 7/10 (could be 8 or 9 if it didn't look like the coercer)
Gallente - 5 or 6/10 cant be sure until I see it in space
Minmater - -10/10 just please get rid of that crappy design and make something better.
