Then get on it! Want to see a more bulky apoc with lots of red and silver, something that screams "GET OUT OF THE WAY" :>

If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all...

Too bad the new Apoc is still going to be a subpar ship.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

Here are some better screenshots. We already showed all of this at fanfest so i guess it's ok to post these here.

So yeah, she's almost done! This was a bit of a tough redesign since so many people have such a strong emotional attachment to the Apocalypse. I tried to keep the old flavor with the new design and at the same time modernize it a bit. I hope you guys like it!

That is phenomenal. Can't wait to see the other variants! Keep up the good work. I love the new Mega and stabber redesigns and this one is great too! Keep up the good work! Oh and can't forget the Maller excellent on that one too!
Edit: Forgot about the awesome bomber redesigns as well!

Seriously though, that is pretty sexy. If only it were actually worth flying, now.

While you're at it retexture the new Apoc and all the other Amarr ships as well. They're all bronze bullcrap turd colours, lacking magnificence.

Does the Navy Apoc get the same model as the standard Apoc?

Whatever else I have to say about the Apocalypse getting rebalanced (GIVE IT MORE CAP GODAMMIT!), I have to opine on this change.

I love it.

The old Apoc was a ship that I found myself more often than not, simply not flying because I couldn't enjoy looking at it. It looked half done, in a way that made no sense. Besides that, as I mentioned in the T1 BS thread, the old Apoc looked like a pimp's haircomb.

This one looks like a ship I would be proud to fly into battle.

"Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

One of ours, ten of theirs.

Best Meltdown Ever.

Dude, it's a spaceship. It doesn't need to be balanced at all.

inb4 ship balancing pun

Yes it does.

A ship like that is basically a skyscraper, the effect of gravity being replaced with the thrust form the engines. A static structure can be different as the lateral forces are predictable, but with a warship you don't know which angle its coming from, manoeuvres will create new centripetal forces as it turns ect.

It needs to be balanced in a manner that engines can transfer thrust in an efficient manner without destroying the ship, and necessitation an economical usage of materials.

What? Why?

Do you like flying garish monstrosities? Oversaturation is plain ugly, on top of unrealistic.

This style is very fitting, IMO. The armor looks like it is purpose build - paneled, bright but nonreflective, and sturdy. The accents are still there, just not as "omg turn the gloss to 11" ugliness. It looks like a real object built out of metal, ceramics and composites. As it should. The old Amarr skins looked like gaudy jewlery made of tin and painted with cheap gold paint.

The more compact form makes it look better. I will miss the old apoc. I have fond memories of hauling for my mate who used to mine in his.
