Make the Algos model a BC or BS

Title about says is all.. I happen to think the Algos is one of the best designed ship models I've seen, and I hate that it's wasted on a destroyer. I'd really love to see the Domi model changed to an upsized Algos model. Let's face it, the Algos looks 20 times more like a drone carrier than the Domi, which I still maintain looks like a half-melted lump of metal someone decided to fit engines on. :P

1. Please. It's a well known fact that Dominix is a shoe:

2. In my opinion, Algos is the ugliest of the four new destroyers. Then again, I never really liked most Gallente ships in the first place, so that doesn't really say much.

Please... No. I've seen sexier designs for carriers than the algos....

How is making it a destroyer wasting it? Do people not fly destroyers? I see them all the time in Placid and Black Rise.

Things are only impossible until they are not.

I think everyone agrees that the corax and the algos look awesome and its a shame about several other ships that need redoing...

The Talos is basically a BC sized Algos.

So basically this thread can be summed up as

"I want to fly the Algos, but I don't want to fly destroyers."

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

The whole point of the rebalance is that there are no 'wasted' hulls.

Every time you post a WiS thread, Hilmar strangles a kitten.

It's like "I want to fly the Prophecy, but I don't want the failure that comes with the sexy hull."

Algos, Talos, ugliest ships in the Gallente arsenal.

Must be the same artist who did both.

Myrmidon, arguably the jewel of the Gallente arsenal. Needs a T2 version.

This, it's a great ship and does full justice to it's great design.

1)Yes, it looks like a shoe

2)Why are the laces on the sole of the shoe?

3)I just realized it kinda looks like a shoe both ways. That is great design actually!
