I think my EVE is broken. All the ships look like tiny boxes with blue and red widgets on them. Sometimes they all flash, but I usually die after that happens.

I know sometimes it's difficult to realize just how much you spend on incidental things each month or year, but seriously, EVE is very cheap entertainment compared to most things... If you are a smoker, smoke one less pack a week and pay for EVE, with money left over to pick up a cheap bundle of flowers for the EVE widow upstairs.

Seriously, it's fine as it is. Don't mess with my Space Potato.



It is not so much the actual look/shape of the Domi, it is just that the detail is, well, sort of smudged looking, whereas the Navy Domi is fine.

I often hide my Navy Domi behind space foliage.

Algos looks so perfect when it turns, it shares some of the awesomeness of the Talos and is very deeply Gallente in aesthetics.

Best of all, it's a fantastic ship in combat, I see myself flying it a lot.

Props also for Corax design, just as much a success in both racial traits and pure good looks!

About the Domi- my corp makes extensive use of this incredibly powerful battleship, and it's one of my long time favourites as what comes to it's features. We really like the ship... but it could really use a redesign. Add a visible drone bay, make it a bit longer and rework it's face- it looks like a tired, long-faced space pope. The bulbous forehead is another problematic feature. Borrowing more from the sleek but massive looks of whales might not be a bad direction.

Redesigning such iconic ships is of course a considerable challenge, but whoever did the new Mega did a great job, so I think it's in good hands :)

That's why it's so ugly. Please be a nice person and kick him hard you know where. Lol

Someone did an awesome revamp of Megathron, was already awesome but that guy just made it absolutely sexy !

Put that guy on the space potato feed it with tons of awesome beer, throw at him nice looking ladies and increase his salary !

The domi's backward horse head design is a staple of the Gallente Federation's Navy. Any changes to it will be cosmetic, stretch here, tuck there, punch to the face there, but nothing major.

I agree, the Algos is a great looking ship. One of the best new releases in some time I think. Of course we all have our own tastes and they can't make everyone happy.

As far as the Dragoon goes, clearly the inspiration for the model came from the spork that the Dev was eating with at the time.

On that note, the Dragoon sucks arseclown so if he modelled that one as well then any bonus points he's given because of the awesome looking Algos should be taken away because of the ****** dragoon. That thing is awful.

it's a fat, pregnant coercer.

You people must be delusional. I think it looks great.


Thank you! I thought I was alone in appreciating the sleek deadliness of the Amarr design.


Dragoon looks OK and fits well into the Amarr ship line.
I am more concerned about this ships complete failure to catch up with its prey, make use of its neut-bonus or make the drones deliver any meaningful damage to fast moving frigs.
But I guess this would be an entirely different topic.

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

Lock him in a room with a Dominix and do not let him out until he has remodelled it.

Oh, and only feed him bread and water to motivate him to do the job quickly.

Oh, so I'm not the only one who sees the horse head?
All the things they called me for it, finally someone who understands!

Well, minor updates are ok, maybe.
Don't overdo it!

"We want PvE activities to require active participation and mirror PvP more closely." Stacking penalty for NPC EWAR then? Lock range under 9km from over 100 in a BS is not fun. Nor is two NPC web drones making me crawl 10m/s. PvP SW-900 x5: 75m/s.
