+1 to all T2 ships having unique hulls, with a "modified" look like the stealth bombers. Then when we get custom paintjobs, we can tell the difference from their T1 base hulls

you do know, that the vargur has rounded sails because of their tribe, all of the ships from that tribe have rounded sails

:getout: The Vargur is the official sexiest ship in the game and looks like a space-metal-rocker. I can only implore CCP to add a high slot module, that can only fit to the Vargur, that plays death metal to everyone on the same grid. Even when sound is turned off.

Doooooooooooooo itttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt.

Based on what CCP did to the Tempest, Stabber and Apoc Hulls, we're in for a great ship if they ever decide to redo the Widow and Golem :D

Shouldn't the Sleipnir and the Hound have round sails too?

Rounded sails on a sleipnir would look sick as hell.

sometimes i wake up and wish that my abaddon would have round sails too

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

All t2 ships should have something that make them look different other than a fancy paintjob.

Personal taste aside: [I love the rounded sail Vargur]

The Vargur is a Brutor ship, the rounded sails are their trademark.
Same as how the Thukkers have square sails. [which is why the Fleet issue lost its square sails, its not Thukker afterall is it?]
Same as how the Sebiestor [Core Complexions] just uses extra smaller sails.

I honestly would love it if CCP would go as far as give the other races something similar, Give all the T2 developers a trademark hull modification, something that screams *oh that is definitely a Khanid ship* even if you cant see its paintjob.

BoBwins Law: As a discussion/war between two large nullsec entities grows longer, the probability of one comparing the other to BoB aproaches near certainty.

I would love to see a variation on the Raven hull. Too many ships use the same one.

In another post, a while ago, I suggested that maybe the Raven hull could be changed for the Widow and the Golem. The Widow . . . is after all, a spider. The Golem is not a Raven, it is a mythical creature. ( I think in Jewish lore.)

My suggestion was to make those "ravens" look like a spider. (eek!) Eliminate the "neck and head" from the raven, chop off everything in front of the "shoulders" that's inline with the wings, and balance out the "wings" mirroring the left one to the right one with all those spiney things. Can you picture it in your mind? Give me the creeps just thinking about it. But it would look awesome.

That is an absolutely fantastic design. My gripes with it are the off axis lower thrusters and that the structure of the ship impedes the turrets which are sunken in. The sails and general aesthetic of that ship are exactly right. Whoever did it, hat off to you sir!

Now please go and fix the reaper and talwar models, not good at all. The texture work is excellent but the designs simply aren't credible.


I approve of the suggestion to tweak T1 models for their T2 counterparts.

I dislike them also but still they are good looking,my pass on it would be moving lower sail all the way down that way it would appear more massive as ship and it would look almost as two part ship hold together only with single super structure beam linking two parts...much more minmatar imho.

hell i would even put lower sail under the angle to remove very(overly simplistic) look of a ship say 60 degree angle..stuff like that

And then i would put high slots on that lower part of a ship for total epicness.!! Cool

Yeah sure.

While you're at it, give the Crane it's laterally mounted thrusters back.

The reason for stealth bombers getting their own special hulls was that their role made them so removed from their base hulls it didn't make sense for them to be mere reskins. Not all T2 ships are quite that radically different to justify that.

With that in mind, I'd say the heavy dictors deserve a pass at totally custom hulls. The Phobos has a token attempt at a special hull modification, but that's about it. Light dictors are far more justified as a reskin (after all, they launch bubble probes, not generate one).

Logistics would probably be my next port of call, although with the T1 cruiser changes, I might suggest tweaking both hulls in unison to be a bit more logi-like.

The only other T2 that really needs some love are command ships. They need to be more command-y. Mauraders, HACS, AFs, EAWR frigs, Interceptors, they're all fine as they are.
