Vaga looks good, Tempest looks bad.

All it took was 4 years to un**** minmatar ships after they introduced the premium client and made them all look really awful

Looks too much like Amarr.

Minmatar ships should stop trying to be modernized, and need to look like flying rust buckets. Otherwise, what is the point

It made sense that when the Minmatar escaped slavery they built ships in a quick and dirty style, often recycling or repurposing components from other technologies or using bare gantry structures. Anything to get the job done quickly and get those ships into space for defence against the long established Amarr technological advantage.

It also makes sense that with time, Minmatar ship builders have been starting to develop more sophisticated and refined ship designs. With the more recently designed Tornado, and the redesigns of the Reaper, Hound, Vagabond and now the Tempest these Minmatar ship builders are maintaining the design principles and cultural styling of their ships, but taking advantage of more advanced fabrication methods.

Typhoon is the only Minnie BS that actually looks like a BS rather than something you might see off the Isle of Wight during Cowes Week.

Back end needs a bit of a tidy-up, but that's all.

Vagrur - the most beautiful ship EVE. But if the engineers change the appearance Vargura, as shown in the screenshots above, it will be fine.

There are a lot of Minnie pilots here that seem to want 'sleek' and 'updated' Minmatar ships for some reason. Last time I checked, being Minmatar means duct taping fractures in your hull and having as much control over your 'ship' as being tied to a wheel chair, rolling down flights of stairs, shooting a couple of sub machine guns, while screaming uncontrollably.

The new vaga is alright, but the current hull is much more Minmatar. Last time I checked frill/ears were a luxury the republic just couldn't afford. Surprised they had them in the first place.

For everyone that wants to turn Minmatar ships into some kind of high tech caldari hull that has no rust on it. Shame on you.

It's ok guys, they can make all ships look better and less rusty because of all the FW isk in the minmatar economy :P

On a serious note, I like it. It's a modernisation and a welcome one.

Honestly, the new Vagabond looks fine. It's AMAZING when you compare it to the horrible piece of crap it was before.

The best thing is that CCP's art team CAN give the Minmatar new and improved looks, while at the same time being still clearly recognizable as Minmatar hulls & style.

The new Vagabond is great, and it's 100% Minmatar. It's not Gallente, Amarr or Caldari. It's Minmatar, and looks good. Just like the new Hound. Best looking bomber now.

So it's possible. And all Minmatar ships should get the same treatment because of this.

The new Vagabond looks so much better than the old one, that it's become OBJECTIVELY better. Taste of players is irrelevant at this point. It IS better, and there is NO possible argument fueled by misplaced nostalgia.
