Hey sisters and brothers of EVE... and CCP,

First of: I LOVE the new design of the new ships. Especially fond I'm of the Venture mining frig... and not only because of my chosen profession. THAT'S what a mining ship is supposed to like! I also really like the new salvage drones... they look really "industrial".

There is a downside to all that new shinies, though: It makes one aware of how outdated some of the older designs really are.

So, my question/petition would be: Are there plans to bring the older ship/drone designs up to speed with the new ones? Will we get/do we want new mining barges that actually look like mining ships and new mining drones that don't look like alien grappling hooks? Do we want older Caldari ships to look more like the Corax or Rokh?

What do you people say?

I'm aware that many ships still need to be V3ed, but most overhauls have been only on textures and maby some minor model changes. Personally, some older ships (barges included) would need alittle more love to make them on par with the newer models, though. I mean, look at how detailed that new destroyers are and compare it with ships like the Osprey... a simple makeover will not do there.

EDIT: Besides... after checking older patch notes... most ships (barges included) have already been V3ed.

Want the yellow industrial look for mining barges and exhumers too!

And please, i want shipmodels, who show, they were designed for acting in dangerous areas like asteroidfields etc., i mean, i dont want ships, who looks like an oiltanker in the antartica sea full of icebergs!

Small ships with many maneuver engines packed on heavybulked hulls ... safety first!

I love the ressource collectors of homeworld 2 ...
