The Minnie Dessie is actually VERY cool. Looks like an old IronClad. All of the others look cool too. Excellent art!


I have to admit, I either like or am confused by them. I certainly don't hate any. I wonder if we gave the art team a couple more weeks if we'd have the same outcome? I need to see these in game with missile pods attached, soon please Big smile

I like the Caldari, Amarr, and Gallente destroyers. They're pretty cool.

Minmatar destroyer...ew ew ew. Burhtun's version was 9001% 5000% better. The reversed version of that was also much better. CCP fix pls.

The ORE frigate is okay I guess. I think it should look a bit more like a mini-barge, really. The current design seems sort of insubstantial, and overly blocky. The colour scheme is also an oddity for ORE ships.

Not a huge fan of the Minmatar destroyer but the rest are great.

I'm especially fond of the Gallente design. I haven't been playing for very long but I'm starting to figure out that 90% of the reason I enjoy this game is the aesthetics.

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?


Interesting idea. Would need a lot of changes to feel balanced to me. Gave it a shot:

Tried to get the front prongs back in there too and also influence from German WW2 half track to get the whole dated military thing CCP is going for.

Any of this ships look way better that the minmatar shoe box and the fat coercer. Shocked

Excellent Big smile
That's a winner in my book!
Added bonus is that it doesn't leave me confused at all. CCP, make it look like this please Cool

I don't understand CCP's fascination with WW2 hardware but, if we have to go down that road, I'd be very happy with Burhtun's designs. They're FAR nicer than the brick CCP came up with.

When the world is running down, you make the best of what's still around.

I like how the Minmatar one looks like a crazy mining drill gone mad. That said, I quite like Burhtun's design.

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

Completely agree on the Minmatar destroyer. I like the design Burthun came up with. Before I saw his, I was very much intrigued by this design http://dlamont.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d4d50w0 from the guy who designed the Naga. Maybe it's a bit curvy for Minmatar but definately better than what CCP did.

The more I look at the new Minmatar destroyer the more it grows on me. It does have a little charm somehow, even if it did initially smack me upside the head with its offensive visuals. P There is so little to the design that its not going to be much fun to look at though, unlike say the Tornado... which is very station spin-able. Big smile

Pretty awesome looking from the top view but strikes me as more Amarr than Minmatar. There's a lot of cool ship ideas in that guy's gallery.

Ok here goes:

Caldari: AWESOME SAUCE!

Gallente: GREAT!

Minmatar: The ironclad turret just doesn't blend in my opinion. At least tweek the stats to make it the slowest one, to go with this design.

Ammar: Don't like it either.

You're beginning to hurt my feelings with these killer designs, since I'm not too hopeful of their being included in-game. Please consider my feelings before posting any more goodships.

Be careful what you wish for, last time when we wished BIG, we got Incarna, with solo CQ. Lol

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

Big +1 to Burhtun's design, ccp's preliminary minmatar destroyer just looks like a box with a harpoon attached.

Props for the effort Burhtun.
