*Talking about its new design
I dont know what people think but i think its design has been butchered.
It lost its minmatarish appearance and vargur is even worse.They seem like another faction ship now.
Why dont you make an alternative design or even an alt. ship. instead of killing a design of years.
I am disappointed.You should think about people who likes it current design.

here the images;

I don't see what the problem is? It doesn't look any less like a minmatarr ship than a mael, loki or 'nado.

less modular-looking with even more badass fins? yes please.

Looks like an improvement to me. Minmatar design is way too boxy in general: I understand that that's the idea, but it's not a very creative one.

There's no reason why minmatar cannot be simultaneously more creative and coherent looking than random cardboard boxes glued together, but STILL look rundown, rusty, low budget, and patchwork.

The new design here is a great example of a step in that right direction.

I think he's got a point actually. To be fair the images the OP provided aren't high res and it does look like a nice interesting design,but it lacks the warmth and romanticism of this:

Although it might be the difference in resolutions that's making me say that so I'll keep an open mind.

i played on buck with tempest and vargur on high details and stuff, it's just awesome.

going back to tq afterwards is just meh.
they kept the basic shape and added a megaton of detail. whats not to love?
plus, now the vargur literally looks like a upgraded/modified tempest.

Be thankful, fellow Minmatarians!

Our XL-Hurricane finally evolved from a flying junkyard to an almost finished design! Yes, official republicans finally developed the Tempest Mk2. \o/
